Jake was #20 last year, so it's interesting to see if he dropped out of the rankings, or how high has risen. http://www.hustlebelt.com/mac-basketball/2014/10/22/6994637/2014-mac-basketball-top-25-20-g-f-jake-kretzer-akron-zips/in/6744236 I thought everyone thought highly of Robotham last year. Most on this board said the season was over when he went down. Most fans of other teams I talked to couldn't believe he was a freshman and they had 3 more years of him to put up with.

Wow. And he's 5th in rebounds and 6th in steals.

We like to keep track of our soccer Zips in the pros, but what about former basketball players? How many and where are they? Dru Joyce Romeo Travis Jeremiah Wood Nate Linhart Chris McKnight Brett McKnight Nik Cvetinovic Alex Abreu Quincy Diggs -- leading the team in scoring, but the poor guy has a Can't player on his team Tree Nick Harney Who else is active?

A pic of Pat on the MBB homepage on espn caught my eye with the headline "Insider Mid-American preview: Forsythe, Akron could emerge". Anyone with ESPN Insider care to comment what their deep insights are? http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/insider/story/_/id/13828326/akron-zips-favorites-mid-american-conference

If Noah isn't in this list, there must have been a huge increase in talent in the off season. It's a long shot, but I wouldn't be completely shocked to see Jackson near the bottom of the list either after his MAC tourney performance.

Sounds like Dambrot has a goal of winning 25 games from his comment at the end.

Before last season the MAC and ESPN signed a new deal. http://www.hustlebelt.com/2014/8/19/6045303/explaining-the-new-mac-espn-tv-deal

This was Akron's biggest margin of victory vs a MAC opponent since beating Can't State at home in 2005. It's great to get another huge road victory. Been a while since we have been good road warriors.

I believe we were supposed to be integrated in the 3rd year of the deal. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.

Two more RPI top 100s on our list from last year: UCSB (87) and Iona (51).

When Scarborough said "think like Georgia Tech", I didn't realize he meant their offensive strategy.

We haven't beaten OU since 2007. Take them to the Pitt game.

Well they fired the whole staff today and EJ is now closed. So much for still doing academic events.

When Aramark takes over they will be able to cut at least 1 manager from each establishment (some managers manage multiple establishments) will total around 70 of the 221 jobs.

Ah I see. The dates are basically the same.

At least one of their stars is transferring out. Looks like they are blocking him from following Bobby to Arizona State and all the schools close home. I remember thinking Evans was going to tear up the MAC the next couple of years.

According to this site, host teams include Can't State, Penn State, SMU and Colorado with the 4 visiting teams TBA.

These teams had final RPI of 2, 20, and 55. Great opportunity for the Zips.

All you have to do to get in the CIT or CBI is open your checkbook.

You can use the loto bogo on the $22 (directly behind the basket) and $34 (corners of the arena) priced tickets.

If that other team wins tonight they are cutting down the nets after the game. That should be motivation enough to not let that happen.

I eagerly away Jeremy Guy's response:

Although not listed in the Gameday preview that GoZips.com releases, this game is on TWC Sports.

I don't understand why with 8 seconds left we did the long pass that didn't work with Toledo and resulted in an instant turnover.

In regards to the National Anthem being played before the players come out, this is fairly common practice for tv games. The reason behind this is that when the 7pm broadcast kicks off, the announcers don't want the national anthem to be playing in the background as they are talking about the game.
