I don't think Akron is in a position to be "above the CIT or CBI", considering we haven't even been able to win those tournaments when we've gone, let a lone a NCAAT game. If those are our best options, take them and get our guys some post season experience. In 2009-2010 VCU won the CBI. The following year they went from a play in game to the Final 4. Post season experience is important regardless where we get it.

When you win the pre-game coin toss, which of the following is an unacceptable answer? A) Receive B)Defer C) Kick

I went to the game tonight and loved seeing 3 Zips start and get lots of playing time. Last time I was in this stadium Darlington had an Akron jersey on. At the end of the first half Bobby Wood shot a PK and I had flashbacks of horror from the last time I was here, but luckily this PK went in

When was the last time we had a guard with a double-double and one of the stats was assists? Feel like it’s been a few years.

Game time changed to 7pm due to winter storm.

I think the last time we played in Dayton, Dayton had just gotten a top 25 ranking that week and the game went into like 4 OT's. Ended with Nick Dials trying to launch a half court 3 for the tie and the ref only gave him 2 shots because they said it was a non-shooting foul.

Duviver would be great for the last scholarship. It will be tough to beat out Georgetown for him though.

"Akron, Rice, Niagara and most recently Georgetown are coming at Duvivier the hardest." Really good write up on his recruitment. http://northpolehoops.com/2017/04/11/georgetown-latest-malcolm-duvivier-recruitment-bubble/#QWvQraYKRi1KwXdf.99

He was a Rivals 3 star out of HS. http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/malcolm-duvivier

Looks like another solid PG. ESPN and Scout had him as a 3 star out of HS, while Rivals had him as a 4 star. -6'10 wingspan sounds great. http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/eric-hester http://floridagators.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=9821

I just added 2 more names in the recruiting section.

Long Beach State transfer Loren Jackson visited Akron yesterday. Rated a 3 star prospect and #9 PG in IL when he came out of HS. http://www.longbeachstate.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/loren_jackson_1028260.html

ECU transfer Deng Riak had a visit to Akron yesterday. 4 star ESPN recruit out of HS. http://247sports.com/player/deng-riak-80532 http://insider.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/evaluation/_/id/202584/deng-riak

KJ Walton would be nice. We have like 6 guys coming in for visits in the next week and a half.

Too bad. On to the next one.

Check the recruiting board. There's a thread on him.

Nick Harney in the 2013 MAC Championship.

Looks like Groce got him on campus.

"What Kevin Dambrot did in 13 seasons with the Zips made the head coaching job very appealing to John Groce." lol

Per another thread:

Sounds like the in home visit this week went well.

At the time KD left, it was late to still have 8 games not filled on the schedule. By the time he left there should have only been 2-3 games left unfilled, max. It was more a comment about how KD dropped the ball on that in his final days.

That article touched on several good topics. I'm surprised we still have 8 open games on the schedule.
