I agree. Sitting so close made me realize how slow they play. David Brown is wrong, a (depleted) Zips team is better than his ex team. BTW, I logged into ESPN3 at the arena last night with a TWC login and the game was NOT blacked out. A friend texted me during the the game that DirecTV login worked too. Stream away tonight if you "can't" make it. #BeatKent

I agree, and it doesn't read like anyone has any agendas.

Lemonator, one step closer to a roster spot in the NFL.

Party at the Lizard! .... two hours prior????? I have a feeling ZN members are more dedicated than the marketing department. How many three pointers taken, and how many made tonight? Ohio Lottery BOGO.

Zips' Pro Timing Day is in full swing at the Field House today

What is a Blackout? How is my location determined if the event is blacked out?Blackouts apply to telecasts that have been sold regionally or locally per league, conference and local rightsholder agreements. Regional and local rights holders are usually broadcast stations or regional sports networks. Blackouts are implemented to protect the primary rights holder, as defined by the professional and college sports leagues or teams in a given market. If you are receiving blackout messaging on WatchESPN, check your local listings to find the television network carrying the event. If you see a message that states, "This content is subject to blackout", this is because the event that you requested is not available on WatchESPN in your location. Your location is determined by your IP Address. If you are connecting with a mobile device and believe you are incorrectly receiving blackout messaging, try connecting via WiFi. If you continue to receive inaccurate blackout messaging, please contact our Customer Care Team at 888-549-ESPN or @ESPN_FanCentral. source

Cheatham, McAdams and Ibitayo made three 3-pointers apiece as the Zips hit 14 of 30 from distance. Talking with Frenchy before the game KD said "I like to play the inside game, right, but when your strength is the three point shot, you have to go with it...right?" Now I'm worried how many we have to hit Wednesday night.

Nice call zippy5. Great game! Good luck to the team at the Q!

"We'll get some minutes out of him, but we will be cautious" -KD with Frenchy on 1350.

Would that not apply to every team in the country?

I agree, but does the Zips offense allow for that?

Gravity screws him when he leaps at three point shooters.

George writes the Zips remain confident. Dambrot mentioned after the Can't State game that he can’t wait to see just how good his team is next year, a statement that may have raised an eyebrow. That wasn’t a concession regarding the current season. Not even close.“I still think we can win this year,” Dambrot said after practice at Rhodes Arena Sunday afternoon.

If he is an NBA-type talent. Good for the MAC. The league could use three or four more. Here's to one landing in Akron! With all of our 20 win seasons, it should be happening soon!?!?

Zippy5 mentioned this in another thread, but I thought it was worth it's own thread since so many people have DirecTV, and so many Zips games are now on ESPN3. Source. I'm guessing for those of us that have been using a time warner login, we won't get blacked out using a dtv login now when a game is on time warner.

Six and a half point favorite tonight. Northern Illinois is the only MAC team that the Zips have not played in the conference tournament prior to tonight's meeting. Akron is still 17-0 this season when leading with 5:00 to go in a game. Two of Akron's three MAC Tournament Championships have come without receiving a bye (No. 5 seed, 2009; No. 6 seed, 2011). With a win, Akron will advance to the second round of the MAC Tournament and would face the winner of the Ohio at Western Michigan contest on Wednesday, March 11. Tip off would be 30 minutes following the first game of the first game (approximately 9 p.m. ET). More at go zips dot com.

I worry about how many threes we will have to make to win. The Zips have become very one dimensional. Fouls + Three point attempts = 2015 Zips.

Good game, thanks to 21 and 55 bailing us out on nine three pointers. I saw some good things last night. When Antino learns how to take advantage of his talents, he will be a solid future contributor for this team. He has nice potential, but is raw right now. I hope he progresses each year. I think for the first time I saw 23's potential. He put in a good night in a big game. He needs to take conditioning VERY serious in the off season. Go work out with the football players. Study nutrition. Put someone with him 16 hours a day if you can. I'm not close enough to the situation to know exactly what it calls for, but the potential is there for him to be special in the MAC, but he has a LOT of work to do. Whatever the staff is trying right now, change it, it can be worth it. Whatever the "pro's" are to 23 guarding beyond the three point line, I believe the "cons" outweigh the effort. Once he figures out conditioning, he will need to work on defense along with his offensive progression. The Zips are not as good as they think they are on defense. We still miss the fundamental of moving our feet and getting in position. We are consistantly out of position with the lower body. Whatever is happening in practice on defense, I wish we would take an entire new philosophy into the offseason. What is taught in practice is resulting in the same thing year after year, fouls. If I played KD, my last play would always be to drive right into the teeth of the Zips defense, they will either be late, or foul you. I like those options as a competitor. As many here have wrote, the students showed a nice atmosphere on tv. Is a game at Ken+ the only time you have to go into your tv's menu and adjust the color? That yellow is worse than the Browns orange. What is with the announcer calling KD, DUMB-brat? Of all the names to mispronounce, you pick the one that has been on the team for a decade? I laughed in the beginning of the game when he said Peters with the drive, Peters with the three, foul by Peters. Reminded me of Bugs Bunny. Dude made some good points throughout the game, but seriously, did he even look at any piece of paper before rolling into Portage county? I loved coach Peters name on the jerseys, nice touch. I would have had the Zips get back on defense to get set on the last play, but I'm pretty sure I know what would have happened. I don't have a big issue with what they did. In both situations, you still have to execute, and they could have made a stop given both scenarios. Eight man rotation looked nice. A few seemed to get in a nice flow. One possession from pulling off a pretty big upset. Jackson in the first half, Brewer in the second half. EA of the PD

good plan.

Ken+ is 329 in the nation. The Zips are 303. Tree still knows what's up.

Stay away from rivalry games. As bad as it looks for the Zips, highly emotional games can provide unpredictable results.

Without Pat and Noah, I'm not sure it will matter if he plays 36 minutes on this team. He's just going to have one backup? Better have a lot of O2 on hand. Do they make a bluetooth mask?

If someone cares about attendance, they better hope for OU.
