From a basketball perspective I would prefer Eastern Kentucky out of the teams listed. They ended the year 70th in the RPI. SIU has a sub .500 basketball team and finished 192. Please not another awful team for basketball.

Last year we went to SEC country and played Tennesse close up until the 4th quarter. Today we went to Big 10 country and had a chance to win as time expired. Next year I fully expect to beat either ACC foe Pitt or Big 10 Penn St.

If we happen to play SC twice it will be in back to back games on ESPN.

Is it a home game? I assume it will be a primetime game during the ESPN tip=off marathon?

Why do we start the season playing St. Marys and Middle Tenn, arguably 2 of the toughest teams on the schedule, and follow it up with an exhibition game vs Malone? What is the purpose of having an exhibition after already playing two games?

I really like that we have 5 Non conference games on the ESPN family of networks (St. Marys, Oregon St, 2 more in HI, and South Carolina). That's 4 games in a row of straight Akron on ESPN. Top that off with at least 1 Can't and 1 OU game most likely being on ESPN, Akron did pretty well for ESPN games this year.

Team A went to the Orange Bowl last year. Team B didn't go to a bowl last year. Team A beats B on a last second fg and it is considered an upset? Only in the MAC.

Used Google Chromecast to stream it on my tv. Greatest thing ever. I highly recommend it for Zips games for a whopping one time fee of $37.

I didn't realize Christian knew how to release a player.

Great, now I can see how crappy the JAR is in better light.

That was their coach's brilliant design.

@GoZips do you happen to know if the SC game is on a weekend?

Can we at least get what conference this team is in?

You obviously never watched a game where he tried to coach against the SEC.

They had open tryouts before the season to fill up their roster. Unbelievable what they are accomplishing considering this was their 2nd year eligible for the tourney and all the players on the team are older then the college itself.

Just repeating what was said when they interviewed the head of the committee that made the decision.

CBS said that Akron was originally set to play Kansas St but they swaped the Zips out for a play in game of Boise/La Salle so that Akron could be closer to home. As much as I appreciate them moving the game from Kansas City to Aurburn Hills, I would have taken the better matchup over location.

Trey Burke has more TOs then Carmelo Betancourt. lol

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but has anyone seen the new Alumni magazine? It is in the new academic proposed main street article. I don't think it's telling us anything we hadn't guessed. "two potential scenarios were identified for replacing the James A. Rhodes Arena. The first is to build a new arena in a consolidated athletics district near InfoCision Stadium. The second option is to partner with the city to attract appropriate funding to develop a new arena downtown, opposite the Akron Aeros baseball stadium on South Main Street.

I like the idea of a few set plays to get Pat the ball in the corner, particularly on in bounds plays. Shake knows our team like it was his own. It wouldn't hurt to throw just a few new things in there. We in bound from the base line to our big standing there who hands it off to the in bounder to shoot a 3 all the time, lets switch it and the Pat is the in bounder and shooter. Its simple and doesn't really take much practice.

I rewatched it today. They said they thought the entire Zips team shopped at the thrift store clearance section. He also said he thinks Tree dressed in the dark. lol

It's the 9th time in MAC history a school has had a team in both championships.

If the ladies hold on for the win, where is the cheapest place to get tickets for tomorrow's game?

This has been up for a full day and no one has commented? Is it because we all just assumed he was a lock for this? Well done Zeke! Only the 3rd player in MAC history to win this award back to back!

I think it is spot on. OU has beaten everyone in the MAC except Akron. Can't is hot right now, but OU has a better track record.
