Same here. Can't say I believe him, but they aren't uncivil or filled with profane or anything

Chauncey had a choice, either play 35 minutes on a lousy team, or sacrifice some minutes and come to a great program. He chose the latter. He bided his time, and with Nik and McClanahan gone, he'll get his minutes next year. The only time "politics" comes up is when family members get pissed and cry to everyone about their kid/cousin/brother/whatever not getting enough run. He'll get his next year, on hopefully an even better team.

Of course.

I think both OU and UA are dancing next year, to be honest.

This is very true. I think UW would be around 5 point favorites, and that's the toughest test we'll face. We can hang with anyone here if the guys are up for it.

They also spanked us

It wasn't LOL, just lol. Because of the whole soccer fiasco a couple years ago.

At Northwestern lol

Akron was very well represented at the Q. I bet the MAC officials love when OU, Can't or we make the championship. The first step is getting these people to the games. After that we'll worry about getting them to cheer. Joe akron comes out for the big ones (Can't, OU, VCU, MAC tourney), we just need to do a better job of playing when the attendance is up.

I know I'll get excited about this once we start playing, I did in 08 as well. But right now I just can't. Watching the show of course, and hoping for a good matchup.

I told you the ACC or Big Ten wouldn't take WVU. I was right.

I hate when people judge refs on the number of fouls called. Akron bangs inside more than any MAC team, OU plays around the arc more than any MAC team. Our style is way more conducive to drawing more fouls.

I hope not

I thought we played pretty bad. Abreu and Diggs had great games, and that's about it. Zeke had our first 4 points, and should have had about 20 more. Really hoping he toughens up next year.

All the players are tweeting that it's a road game. Not sure where though. I'll watch, and cheer for them...but it's just not the same as the tourney.

Really? Has Akron ever sold out their allotment of tix before last night? I thought we had a great showing, at least compared to Can't.

Thought about that. We've never been as reliant on the 3 ball, or played our starters as many minutes as OU.

Zips 75-61 OU's legs are tired, but their egos aren't. I can see them shooting 20% from three and still jacking up 20+ from behind the arc tonight.

There's a new greatest player every other year. Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldino, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi..

So how was it?

A big thank you to Nik for staying around. Kid could go to the tournament 3 out of 4 years and go down as one of the all-time greats here! Big one tomorrow still

Teams that lost twice use it to make themselves feel better. They know we own them.

Third time's a charm right? not so fast my friend - corso zips cut nets again

Akron sold out their allotment of tickets already

We own Can't.
