I think when it is all said and done, Pat will go down as #2 in the MAC in blocks.

A quick look on their board and they are still actively using the Akron game thread from several weeks ago. They also have started a new Akron thread for the game that is 3 games away for them. I think they really have a thing for us. It's ok bobkitties to confess your love for the Zips.

Ya, neither will OU.

I think I miss the weird music...

The Xavier game has been moved to Sat April 13th at noon.

Anyone hear any rumors about who we are playing next year yet? What about spring games? I know Kentucky is coming to town April 6th for a spring game but thats it.

Per gozips.com For the first time in program history, the Zips appeared in both the USA TODAY & AP polls at the same time. The Zips received two points in the coaches poll and four points in the AP poll.

One great nugget from their boards: "I want Akron and NDSU to play just to see Marshall Bjorklund vs Zeke Marshall. Zeke is #1 in FG% and Marshall is #2." Here is the link for the stats on espn http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball...tat/field-goals

We had votes last year too.

I think that was referring to the part in Dambrot's post game last night when he said that Pat was the best walk on in the nation and that he has paid his own way all year.

Whoever thought that Harney would be the lockdown defender on Cooper?

On ESPN Any Katz just said the Dambrot told him he was willing to switch and go on the road for the bracket buster if it meant we got a better game.

Whoever has less technical fouls wins.

Today's tickets are $15 due to the fact they are good for 2 games. They do not need to clear the JAR in between and that will work.

Rydell Brooks never played for Akron and Andrew moss was a walk on. But if you want to keep this up we can talk about Jay Kinney, Armon Bassett, etc. All I'm saying is neither team can talk.

I think the reason Zeke has struggled vs OU in the past is that as soon as he touches the ball there were 2 and sometimes 3 players that swarmed him and gotten easy turnovers. If the Bobcats continue to do this we need to make adjustments, unlike previous years.

Rescheduled for Feb 20th. 4 days after home game vs Can't and 7 days before Akron.

BG's problem- they don't want to play good teams. Akron's problem- we don't get to play enough good teams.

Well its Bracketbuster time since they announce the pairings tomorrow. I'm basing my guess off of the RPI and not the BPI since that is what they have historically done. Home Teams: Wichita State (16) (Already played Creighton) Belmont (20) (Already played South Dakota State, EKU) Indiana State (55 ) (Already played Creighton) St. Mary's (59) Akron (72) (Creighton, Detriot) Valparaiso (89) Murray State (93) UIC (99) Road Teams: Creighton (31) North Dakota State (64) South Dakota State (65) Eastern Kentucky (76) Stephen F. Austin (81) Detriot (89) Ohio (98) My predictions: Wichita State- North Dakota State Belmont- Creighton Indiana State-Eastern Kentucky St. Mary's- South Dakota State Akron-Stephen F. Austin I think Ohio gets Valparaiso

Pat played 80 minutes at WVU. But, he did have time to grow in the weight room, etc. Does anyone know how long he was injured while at WVU?

If we are going to compare their high school stats lets compare their freshman stats since that is against college competition. Zeke is on top and Pat is on the bottom with stats through the Toledo game. MIN 16.8 FG% .471 FT% .466 REB 3.9 AST .5 BLK 1.7 PF 2.1 TO 1.5 PTS 5.1 MIN 13.7 FG% .493 FT% .559 REB 3.4 AST .4 BLK 1.1 PF 1.7 TO 1.2 PTS 4.7

Per live-rpi.com Can't dropped 67 spots down to #182 after losing to BG who is now #284.

A few thoughts: 1. It's been said on here already, but WOW Zeke. I think we were all rooting for a triple double but it just didn't happen since Tree took all the rebounds. KD told the team in the locker room after the game that he played like a 1st round pick and I would definitely agree. 2. If Tree keeps up his play, no one in the MAC can stop him. 3. Abreu almost got a double double as well falling 1 ast short at 11pts 9asts. 4. Chauncey doesn't always get respect on here, but he scored 12 pts in 13 minutes of play. 5. Kretzer is really struggling on O but he makes up for it on D. 6. I would like to see more McAdams and less Carmelo/Deji 7. Outside of Tree and Zeke, I think the team's next best re-bounder is Walsh. He always seems to be in the right place for loose rebounds and great hustle plays. 8. In the first half Toledo made 10 buckets and Zeke blocked 7 shots. Mind blowing.

I hate to say it, but I don's see it happening. I think Akron and OU split their series. Akron has played horrid in Athens the last few years.

This is the biggest chance for a road loss outside of the trip to Athens coming up. It's interesting that Toledo is getting Ohio State transfer JD Wetherspoon next year who Akron heavily recruited. Prediction for the game: Kretzer breaks out of his slump and comes up big on the way to a 72-63 win.
