I just said in another thread, and yes I will really miss the seniors that are gone, but if Nik stays, we can win near 30 games. Pessimists flame away, but I think Zeke is going to dominate. Give him a reliable senior 4 man down there with him, and we can hang with the big boys.

If Nik stays, we can win 30 games next year. Nik, Diggs, Zeke, a matured Abreu, Mclanahan...hell of a starting five, with the new guys who could potentially be very good. Already looking forward to it.

Gonna miss these guys. Gave a great effort, but the shots just didn't drop. I will say, the way Zeke has developed, if we make it to the tourney in the next two years, we will win a game. Please Nik, stay! You could dominate the MAC next year.

We can win this. Zeke will NOT go 1-9 or whatever in the second half. As long as Hansbrough doesn't completely take over, we have a good chance.

I understand what you guys are saying, but quite frankly, we don't need anyone else to win. Just take care of our own business. Gonzaga didn't need anyone, and has kinda slipped the past couple years with saint mary's emergence as a WCC power. we want to be the gonzaga of the east...well the gonzaga of the west did it by themselves. Count me in the rooting against Can't in the NIT camp.

Whatever happened to wearing LeBron unis? I love all the shout outs on twitter (millions of people see it) but we still haven't gotten much besides some shoes, to be honest. *disclaimer* I'm not a Cav fan/LeBron hater, in fact, I couldn't care less about the NBA.

We need to beat programs, things will take care of themselves. Ball State, NIU, whoever out west, go beat some good programs...as for our archrival, i hope they lose by 40.

I hope they lose by 40. In another note, they just showed highlights from saturday hahahahaha

My friend majors in aeronautics, so i assume it has something to do with it.

vs FSU would be some game. They would be out for revenge, and we KNOW we can beat them. Are there any players remaining from either roster? Wasn't that 4 years ago or more? I don't think the psychology of that game would be as you describe it at all. If beating ND in the first round, that would provide all the confidence we might need to beat FSU...why is my alarm clock going off again? I am pretty sure that D ROb, Brett and Bardo were on the roster then. Nick Dials hit those big threes and mcnees.

Also, lol @ the irony of the guy who says we have no chance telling me to "return to portage county"

I stand by my statement. Cool, you know some players (so do I) and some coaches. How about some respect for them?

Congratulations, we have our winner for the biggest douche on this board.

Count me in the minority, but I thought ND had the resume of a 1 seed. Playing them in Chicago is terrible, but hey, crazier things have happened. I personally think there's a few teams seeded 13/14 that we are better than but whatever. Play the hand you're dealt, and play your hardest 40 minutes of the season Zips! I think this is the most well-balanced team we've had in a while, we have pretty much every type of player, and no team is gonna be a nightmare matchup for us. Let's just hope we can stop Hansbrough off the dribble like we stopped Can't. I watched the Pitt/ND game and Pitt couldn't stop it. Tall task, but if we can do it, we got a chance.

Congrats, I bet someone is a really proud mama. Enjoy it!

I can't see us as a 16. The mac is down, but we aren't the meac/maac/big sky/big south/patriot league/whatever other tiny conferences that play in 1000 seat high school gyms either. I'd say a 13 or 14.

Dear momma zeke, thanks for making zeke.

Can't can take their awards. Ill take ours.

Go Zips! Please no complaining about the refs, win/lose. We all know they suck, but they suck both ways and we look like a bunch of crybabies. Can't wait!! (TM Bart Scott)

He just needs to play a little smarter. He'll be fine...another entire offseason to put some pounds on and work on his game, and he'll be great next year. As long as he can stay on the floor, I'm really excited to see 2 more years of him.

Can you get Steve online??? sportsradio1350.com

When aren't we rebuilding?....... He's been here seven years....how much more rebuilding can we take? I think a better question would be, when are we rebuilding?

Good one. All i was trying to illustrate was that if Akron lost Friday, their side of the bracket could potentially be filled with better matchups, that's all. No need to be an asshole, we're all on the same side here. I agree with UAZip here, now that we're going to be on the other side of the bracket it helps our team quite a bit. Hopefully OU gets knocked out, because we just cannot match up with them. And its people like Zippy5 that ruin this blog and scare away other people. I would argue that its people saying losing to our rival is good for us, and also proposing to trade zeke might scare away people. But I digress.

I'm actually embarrassed that people agreed with that post. My apologies, losing at our rival, losing a first round bye, and possibly not getting to 20 wins while going into the MAC tournament on two straight losses is GREAT! We'd have to beat OU/Can't/miami at some point in this tournament anyway to go dancing. I don't care what round its in, ill take 20 wins and a season sweep of our rival 100 times out of 100.

But if they win at Can't, it won't? good grief.
