I mean, whatever makes you feel better. Can we get a bowl of milk emoticon for the kitties when they come over?

I'd be shocked if we aren't ranked in the coaches poll.

The Bilastrator, Jay Bilas just picked us as his mid major team to watch in the tournament. The gameday crew is at rupp arena for the UK game tomorrow and they were each asked to puck a team. The three choices were Creighton, Butler, and our Zips! Gave huge props to Zeke and Tree. Even called him Tree.

i called for will call and the guy said just come to the door, it shouldn't sell out.

Nothing againts Jonas.. but there's a big difference between hitting threes when you're up 20 and hitting them when you're down by 2 in the final minute.

Funny thing is, if our name was Michigan State instead of Akron, everyone would know 2 OT losses came without 2 starters. I know that's the way it is, but it stinks.

We're on ESPN's bubble watch

We will

Time to put some milk out for the kitties. I guess if the shoe was on the other foot, I'd be a little jealous if we returned 5 starters from a sweet sixteen team and someone else was getting all the attention.

Still is.

As much as I'd like to think so.. we'd actually have to about triple our vote totals to get in.

CBB games are 40 minutes long, not middle school 24 minute games. Depth definitely plays a factor, especially with our style. Check out our scores in 2nd halves vs. 1st halves. We wear teams down with our depth. Note, I am not saying that means we will wear down OSU and beat them, but to say depth doesn't play a role in a 40 minute game is ignorant.

Interesting. We were 21 on his last week.

Their RPI was 66. I know we don't like to let facts get in the way, but if we lose one game the rest of the way, we'll be in the 30s.

Ours. "Urban Campus problems"

There's also a 2 page thread on the attendance article. Kinda creepy actually.

Nice work. I was gonna spend some time today checking out the teams ahead of us. Also, PSU is tied with Michigan at half time. A PSU win would be a nice bump for our RPI since we thrashed them in PR. As a Pitt fan I never thought I'd say it, but go Penn State.

Would they actually pass us? From what I understood they'll just tie us. Then we can get mentioned during every Memphis game as well

I think it makes him feel better about himself. We're here for you bubba. Side note, we broke into the top 50 RPI today (48).

I don't know if it's been pointed out, but he was putting up these numbers at a D2 Juco.

DiG was right. Holmes isn't too bad.

OU fans have the worst inferiority complex. At first I thought there were just one or two trolls on here, but they're all like that. Half of their own message board is spent rationalizing how they're better than us. Man. I'd be embarrassed to be an OU fan. Maybe we can just make a thread for them on OUr board where they can brag about their flagship program. Only a few more seasons until you have 8 straight 20 win seasons and 7 straight MAC tournament finals appearances, kitties.

I don't think this year is like any other year in any capacity whatsoever. At least wait for him to say it to bash him for it.

I like that we're guarding Crawford with some long bodies.

I'm pretending it's just crowd noise. Heck of a start for our Zips.
