Lazy passes. The team has given up.

2 more missed 3s.

Before this game, there was a question of whether we were actually good during our 5-game win streak or just an average team scraping by against bad teams. I believe that question has been answered.

I don't see any communication or spacing. Too many Zips running into each other.

Can't hit anything. If we were shooting even mediocre, this game would be much closer.

Sanders w/ 4 fouls. Might be a lucky break.

And just like that, we blow everything we had going for us.

About time we hit some threes. Now we're 3-13 from behind the arc.Still shooting 13-40 overall. 0 assists and 7 turnovers. 1-4 from the line.

No turnovers in the first half so what exactly do you mean ?No turnovers, but no assists from the entire team. When McNeese is pressed our offense shuts down for the whole team. Who needs turnovers when you can completely shut down the opposing offense?

The MAC needs a winning record. The Bracketbusters are kind of like bowl games. They don't mean anything, but a win helps the conference look good.

Why doesn't every team press McNeese?

Stop shooting 3s Nikola!

VCU is shooting 61.9%, Akron is shooting 30.8%. Akron is shooting 1-6 on 3s.One team can't miss and one can't hit anything.

Game day!Thanks to some bad scheduling by the MAC, the next game is on Wednesday at Can't, at the exact same time as the men's game against Buffalo on FSO. I'm torn on which one to go to. Both are huge games.

About the third paragraph down on that page, fourth bullet, Dave.The regular-season champion of any NCAA Division I conference (as determined by the conference's tie-break protocol) not otherwise selected to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship will secure an automatic qualification to the National Invitation Tournament.It basically throws a bone to mid and low-majors. The high-major champions will almost certainly get an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. If they expand the NCAA tournament to 96 and kill off the NIT, that post-season opportunity goes away for many teams.

You want me to compare the current starting lineup with only two seniors to one made up of five seniors?OK, here goes. Nik Cvetinovic in the postChris McKnight at PFBrett McKnight at wingSteve McNeese at SGHumpty Hitchens at pointHow do I know this line up is better? These players won the MAC championship. They went to the NCAA tournament. None of the players you listed did that.

Can't gets in trouble for not having teams on the court for the national anthem.Aired last night.

Wow. They turned all of Gozips.com pink for this game! That ought to grab some attention.

My pleasure.

Women's basketball is the third most popular collegiate sport behind football and men's basketball. Winning alone won't get people to come. We have to show that we can compete in our own conference, and that means beating Bowling Green.People won't show up for this game, but if Akron wins they'll show up for the next one.

Playing Malone didn't hurt our RPI one iota. Not one bit. That's because non-Division I games don't count in the RPI formula. We could play ten of them and it wouldn't change the RPI at all.If you want to complain about the schedule affecting the RPI, go ahead, but at least know how the RPI works first.

Of course they do. So does Elton Alexander. They just don't log in because they don't want you to see their screen name pop up on the list.If you really want the story to get out, you could easily e-mail them. They're not hard to get hold of.

They didn't lost to Eastern Michigan or Austin Peay at home. They also managed to beat UAB while we blew the game against UMass. That explains a lot of the discrepancy.
