ok so he sits him when opponents pick up on his bad defense, why not. Ride his hot hand until his defense is exposed, nothing wrong with that.

Why wouldn't KD want B. McKnight driving to the basket?That's a good question... he played for few minutes against NIU, driving to the basket, was 4/4 on FG, was substituted and never played again. It seemed like KD didn't like that.Don't you guys notice there are certain players KD will play over and over again, no matter if they are doing bad or not, gives them chances over and over, then there are others that get one or two chances, if you don't get it done, you are done....You sound like an angry parent.Give some actual evidence that this happens "over and over."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but after the surgery, rest alone does not rehab the injury.What better exercise to get into game shape for the tournament than an actual game?They wouldn't let him play if he was in danger of re-injuring it, so as long as hes say, 75%, he's better than most forwards.I'll take 15 minutes of J-Wood at any percent.

I believe there may be 2 bus loads?

Our RPI is 96 for the record...Not saying it's good, just sayin'

I think we can run with them.Even without J-Wood, the Mcknights and Bardo should be enough inside, the Mcknights can go inside/outside, so we can go small or big against them.With Roberts, Mcnees, Dials, and Middleton, we have enough depth I think to play their uptempo style, and throw in Linhart, I think we'll be alright.Bring em on!!!

I have a question.If we're this bad on the road, and that good at home, what team do we see at the Q?Our home team, road badness, or an average of the two...

Sounds like there's a lot of Zip fans there? Everytime we score, I hear a lot of cheering over the radio...

This is a very unlikely hypothetical question, but one can dream...What if we win out, and Can't can manage to lose another game than against us, we end up tied with Can't for first same records, split the season series, what's the next tiebreaker?

Coach D says he will not play anyone that does not play defense, B. McKnight does not play defense, if Coach D keeps his word, we wont see him anymore....Did anyone really play any defense in last night's game? It was really a team effort of bad defense. OK I will probably get slammed for this, but sometimes IMHO I think offense wins games, there I said it! This defense wins games gets old to me, if you noticed last night, offensively we shot terrible, if we made half those shots, and still played terrible defense we would of won! Ok let the slamming begin.....Exactly why defense wins games...we shot terrible, and were still in the game till 2:00 left. If we could have held them anywhere below say 60%ish instead of the 65% :blink: they shot, we still would have won with our poor offensive night...

I'd rather have the 6:30 or 9:00 ESPNU slot...11 is just kinda early...gotta like the ESPN2 tho i guess.

Let's run the wishbone/fullhouse package with Williams, Johnson, and Allen I'm excited about Johnson though, I never realized he transferred here, he was i think the #1 RB in the country out of HS, and a 5 star recruit, hopefully he can contribute.

Realtimerpi lists you as 58...I'm right you can't subtract...But how bout these apples? Pitt has had 3 straight top 25 recruiting classes in football.Have they had a winning season in the past 3 years. You guessed it, no.No one really gives a sh*t about your recruits. Unless they morph into your walk-ons bodies and play with your starters this year in the JAR, it doesn't matter.

OK everybody now. 75 minus 58C'mon I know you can do it...that's right, carry the ten to the one's column...7, then a 1.THAT MAKES 17, GOOD JOB KIDS!!!!!so anyway...you're 17 not 18 "better" than us.Once again, going back to history.The MAC is better THIS YEAR!!!not last year, not next year, BUT THIS YEAR!!!shut the hell up you haven't won anything yet, and don't plan on it.if you do it's gonna be a looong ride back to Virginia.

Everyone you hear that? We have to "respect VCU" on OUR BOARD!! I mean yes they're good and all...but we suck? You've beaten teams better than us? Your CAA friends think you got shafted? Give me a break. You guys beat Maryland (66 RPI) and Houston (65). We beat Temple (69) and Ohio (51). You're all uptight about it not helping RPI. The MAC HAS A HIGHER RPI!!! AND GUESS WHAT?!?! WE'RE IN FIRST PLACE!!! You know what, if you beat us at home, it's a great accomplishment, and it would be nice to see someone give us a good game. But please, we aren't entitled to it? We've won 22 straight games!! Took Dayton to 2OT at Dayton. If we think the VCU Rams are gonna beat us, you're out of your mind! I'm a little worried about the return game next year on the road, but guess what? YOU'RE COMIN TO THE JAR THIS YEAR BABY!!!!

Please...what I call sucking is having one NCAA appearance in the history of your school as a 15 seed in 1986. What I call sucking is having 26 wins in a year and still getting passed over by not only the NCAA but NIT as well. You can talk smack when you actually do something and have a history as a team. Gimme a break. Austin Peay has been to more tourney's than Akron at least.VCU is a pretty good team. Beat Duke and took Pitt to OT, I was a Pitt fan before I came to Akron, I was from the Burgh...but Akron sucks? Hahaha I didn't know the current status of a team was judged on our 20 year history of being D-1. I can't wait until we beat you by 20 in the JAR.

If I was a player, I'd take it as an insult, know that he isn't satisfied with how I'm playing. I think it's a smart play on KD, along with his shuffling of players, keeps everyone hustling, playing 100% because they know no one is untouchable.

Who would've ever thought the Odd Corner would start such a political debate

We aren't getting much love on the CAA boards. I think they're in for a little surprise. Especially our 6'7" center...may turn some heads huh?

w00t!

You have to think that anyone on the other block would help with that. Even if Mcknight hasn't been as sharp as we would like, he's gonna make a 5 foot layup, so he has to draw some attention. If Wood can just get some positioning down on the block, I think even if it draws more attention to himself, it leaves the shooters that much more space on the perimeter. If in fact, if he is the only presence down low, he's bringing his double teams to the arc with him, and it's giving the shooters less space, in my opinion.

I think it would help tremendously if Wood didn't consistently get the ball 15-18 feet from the hoop everytime.

I feel you. The people walking around campus in their suckeye garb really irritate me. I wish I was big enough so I could punch them in the mouth and tell them YOU DON'T GO TO OHIO STATE!!! YOU GO TO AKRON YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!!But that wouldn't be a good idea, so i'll just proceed to tell them they havve nuts on their chest and leave.

My prayers have been answered

Teams have been killing us down low lately, how about going to a zone. CMU is 2/9 from downtown, it doesn't look like their shooters will kill us. Either that, or stop with the traps down low, and rotate quicker so there isn't a wide open man on the other block.
