And with how good their women's bball program has been, and how bad their men's program is right now, they have a thread on tonights Lady Zips-Lady Falcons game: "BEAT AKRON"

Updates on tonight's women's conference games and standings MAC East Akron 8-4 Bowling Green 8-4 Miami(OH) 7-5 Buffalo 6-6 Can't State 1-11 Ohio 1-11 MAC West Toledo 11-1 CMU 10-2 Ball State 9-3 WMU 5-7 EMU 4-8 NIU 2-10 Today's slate of games Toledo 72, NIU 40; FINAL Central Michigan 77, Western Michigan 53; FINAL Ball State 56, Eastern Michigan 34; FINAL Bowling Green 74, Akron 61; FINAL Miami(OH) 69, Buffalo 56; FINAL Ohio 61, Can't State 55; FINAL

Dick Vitale finally caved in "Let' s give AKRON some love - have won 17 in a row - @KingJames Will be dangerous 4 an elite team at NCAA time"

Ohio 78 Can't State 75 F/OT OU scored 5 points in last 10 seconds

Henninger wasn't even the best Polar Bear out of that graduating class of 2010. If Egner couldn't get minutes and transferred out, Henninger wouldn't even make the practice squad

In my opinion, I'm rooting for the team that I feel we can beat in Cleveland more. I feel like rooting for either team makes me want to stick knives in my eyes, but it would give us a 2 game cushion in the MAC, and as long as we take care of business with BG, a win at Athens would clinch us the #1 seed in Cleveland if my math is correct

After 1,001 votes: Ohio State: 280 votes = 27.97% Akron: 721 votes = 72.03%

Seth Davis has Akron #21 in his top 25 ballot...

After beating Miami(OH) saturday in battle for first place in MAC East, Lady Zips are now 5-0 in MAC East play, and are in sole possession of first place in MAC East. Here's the MAC Women's standings right now: MAC West Toledo 14-1 Central Michigan 10-4 Ball State 12-3 Eastern Michigan 6-9 Western Michigan 5-10 Northern Illinois 2-12 MAC East Akron 11-4 BGSU 10-5 Miami(OH) 9-6 Buffalo 8-7 Can't State 1-14 Ohio 1-14 Akron has big home game this upcoming saturday against Ball State Also, this Lady Zips team only has TWO SENIORS

Keith Dambrot on ESPN Cleveland's Munch in the Morning Podcast Also, in USA Today, here's a quote about the Zips: "Team that's hot right now: Akron. Remember Ohio's Cinderella run in the Big Dance last year? Well Akron is dominating the league Ohio was supposed to dominate this season, most recently beating D.J. Cooper and Co. 86-72. The Zips are now 18-4 and 9-0 in the Mid-American. Zeke Marshall (12.6 points, 6.9 rebounds per game) is a future NBA player. Aside from its first loss of the season to Coastal Carolina, Akron's NCAA tournament résumé is relatively strong."

I feel this should be around -11 since it's in Oxford....
