Robotham 5 of 8 from the free throw line last night. Antino 4 of 4. 20 out of 27 (74%) overall as a team! Keep it up

Since it is listed (in the link I provided) as a 14 day wildcard game, the network has to let the schools know 14 days before the game, expect to hear soon. Apologies if they have already announced and that's why it's listed on ESPN's site.

Pretty easy to view Zips basketball this year. Here is a link that lists Akron's ESPN3 schedule. The next two (UB & NIU) are on ESPN3. GoZips dot com schedule indicate the two after that are on CBS (OU) and ASN (BSU). In addition, every game day @ZipsMBB tweets out all the information, and a ZN member typically posts it in the game thread.

I like that link. I would be a little surprised if Lane gets drafted before Hunt.

I hope they will be able to get some advertising revenue

This is the most interesting/important part of the article to me: ...the Zips can’t afford many nights like this past Friday against Eastern Michigan when they shot 45 percent (17-of-38) from the free-throw line ...if we didn’t make free throws that night, let’s spend a little time on it, Dambrot said ...after the game, Robotham and Antino worked on their own time from the line. Mon morning, Johnson spent time after practice doing the same

She's mad.

ESPN3 is a valuable tool for MAC schools (Crain's full article) By KEVIN KLEPS ...Akron's high-definition broadcasts on ESPN3 — the Worldwide Leader's online streaming service — are produced by Classic Teleproductions and originate from a production room in which the university invested about $500,000 on a studio and new equipment. It's a costly endeavor for an institution whose budget problems have been well-documented, but one Akron feels is necessary because of its obligations to ESPN and the Mid-American Conference. The Zips, like their MAC peers, also believe streaming athletic events is a way to increase the school's exposure and add to its appeal with athletes and wanna-be broadcasters....

At one time (2015) Aquinas had 17 players in the NFL — the most of any high school in the country. Jaguars (Brandon Linder, Rashad Greene and Sam Young). Falcons (Leonard Hankerson, Desmen Southward), Bengals (Geno Atkins, Giovani Bernard), Colts (Phillip Dorsett, Duron Carter), Rams(Lamarcus Joiner, Marcus Roberson), Major Wright (Bucs), Bobby Hart (Giants), James White (Patriots), Gabe Holmes (Raiders), Cody Riggs (Titans) and Marcus Gilbert (Steelers).

Rodney Coe signs a future contract with the Seahawks. Good spot for him.

I'm not sure if you guys are debating recruits or current players, but I did see the below in the Detroit Free Press last week. So far, some 10 players who had verbally committed to WMU have switched their commitment to Minnesota. This is a sizable number, and represented nearly half of WMU’s recruiting class before Fleck changed jobs.

I like EMU +2.5 at the half, and the Zips -4.5 final.

Go "other"! I think you are going to need a spreadsheet to figure out the winners MDZ.

Campbell’s season, and college career over ??

Game is on CBS Sports Network. DirecTV 221 (HD/SD)

Yes, it is being worked on.

He should be thinking about his speech, because he has the coveted Jawanza Moore Award all but wrapped up.

What a great interview. Good questions, and good answers by DeAndre. Only question I would like to know the answer to is, would you have liked to shadow Corey Davis this year, and has your scheme ever included shadowing (I think no, but would like to hear his comments)? Corey lined up all over, as opposed to Boyd (strictly at the Z) as DeAndre refers to. My favorite answer (of many): DeAndre Scott: My time at Akron was one to remember. Coming in, in 2012 as a mid-year freshman not knowing who my coach was gonna be at the time and not having a clue what I was in for. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Graduated and earned my degree as well as helped build a program that wasn’t used to seeing success and being apart of a bunch of devoted guys/coaches to change the culture around the university and program it made me cherish Akron even more. It helped me grow into the person/player I am now. Definitely an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Steeler DE, LT Walton (CMU) played 23 snaps, and LB Frank Zombo, also from CMU, had a tackle, and big tipped pass for the Chiefs. I don't remember Le'Veon Bell with the Zips, he had their new logo on the side of his head yesterday. Maybe just a fan. Did March play? I don't remember seeing him. He didn't show up on the inactives, and I didn't see him in the box score either? "Chiefs declared RB Knile Davis, DL T.J. Barnes, QB Tyler Bray, LB Victor Ochi, OL Mike Person, TE Ross Travis and CB D.J. White inactive"
