Thanks for all the updates. Looks like Toledo has put together a very impressive class, with or without Howard.

Miami knocks CMU out of the top spot in the MAC.What happened to Buffalo? It's like they gave everything they had against Akron and now there's nothing left.

Rivals has him as a Zip too.

Who was defending Kool last night?I think the idea was "let Kool shoot, don't let anyone else shoot, see what happens".Not really. We were double-teaming him all night. We were lucky that the rest of the WMU squad couldn't shoot worth a damn.

Is it? Take a look at the number of mid-major at-large bids in the tournament over the past decade. It goes down every year.

It's revenge for Miami's scheduling debacle last year.

What exactly do you mean by that?

Akron gets the win! 66-64 win on the road against the defending MAC champs! Now 5-2 in the MAC. They don't give up when the other team gives them trouble. It shows determination and it builds confidence.

79-70 final. A good win. That was probably our toughest remaining road game, not counting the bracketbuster.

BSU radio feedGoing to OT, tied at 59.

Ohgodmymindisexploding!Oh. Wait. it was the WMU announcer hitting rewind on the 8-track.

Kool gets his record. Probably glad he got it at home, instead of at Can't.

Boweling Green pulls off the win at EMU, 64-62.Ohio up 40-38 at NIU at the half.

I'd like to see the Zips come out and play a full-court press most of the game against Toledo.

Can't let Kool get to 28 until the game is well in hand.

God forbid we accept players smart enough to get academic aid.

God I hate MAC refs.I wonder if the refereeing situation affects recruiting in the MAC. These recruits come in and see what they have to put up with every game, it can be enough to change their mind.At least we're winning.

Great shot by McClanahan to end the half. Akron up 35-27.Zeke with 3 blocks, officially. Akron shooting 5-9 for 56% from beyond the arc.

They're certainly terrible. Any idea who they are this time? I'm thinking of keeping track of which refs are consistently making games unwatchable.

I wish KD would have kept him in...I'm tired of Bardo getting so much PT i seriously do not think he's good, just tallBardo was actually getting pretty good when he got playing time last year.He does okay, I just feel like he's lost and not very good at defense. He needs to be more aggressive on both sides of the ball and go to the hoop strong on offenseI agree. He does need to be more aggressive. He looks lost because he hardly ever gets in anymore. Hopefully a stretch of MAC West cupcakes will see him (and a few other bench players) see an increase in playing time. We need to develop them for the home stretch and for the MAC tournament where depth is huge.

McNeese with two fouls already.

According to the ESPNRISE soccer verbal list, Akron has received two more verbals, bringing the total to five so far.F Richard Diaz from Chesapeake, VA. Plays for the Virginia Rush Academy.GK Andrian McAdams from Oberlin, OH. Plays for Columbus Crew youth program.

This recruiting class may not have much hype, but you can't argue with the numbers these kids are putting up.

ESPN has the only current information I can find on them, and it's not much.Here's Blake's Scout bio from 2008.Staten's Highlight video:
