New (1/8/16) ESPN article on Alex Abreu: http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/110166/former-point-guard-drug-dealer-learn-from-my-past

Quote from the article (by a 9 year-old): Asked what he took from Abreu’s comments, he said: “There’s always second chances.” Great lesson to teach kids (especially at a function titled "Shoot basketballs, not people"): No matter what you do, consequences are temporary. I, for one, wish Alex Abreu the best and hope he turns/has turned his life around, but "mistakes" have consequences and often times those consequences are (and should be) permanent. For all those saying that he deserves a second chance consider the following: 1) he has already recevied a second chance by not spending the next two years in prison 2) Everyone should receive a second chance.....after everyone else gets their first chance and I have to believe/hope that a successful D1 basketball program could find a replacement point guard to back-up/support the two we already have on the roster for next season

Terrible game (obviously), but lets not forget what a great season these guys put together. MAC Champs!

I have 2 tickets i cant use for the evening session. Section 203. PM me if you are interested.

We have two tickets available for the game. Will get you into both games that evening. Any takers?

On a related note, I have 2 tickets that I won't be able to use due to work. Available on first-come first-served basis. Let me know if anyone is interested. Go Zips!

Interesting take on Dambrot's extension and the team concept he employs. http://www.midmajormadness.com/2012/7/24/3...ranks#storyjump

Fact is, 1st round bye is completely in the Zips hands right now. With a win over the Flushes, and either Miami or OU losing to the other, the Zips will get a first round bye. Personally, I'll be rooting for OU on Friday night. Much rather have them as a three seed where we wouldn't have to play them till the final. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Zips need help to get the #4 seed. If/When we beat Can't, and if OU beats Miami, then all 3 of us will be tied at 10-6. The MAC website says that the multiple team tiebreaker is the head to head records of the three tied teams. We would be 1-3, OU would be 3-1 and Miami would be 2-2. I think we need help from Miami to knock off OU to get the 4 seed. Regardless....Beat Can't!
