During that last interview with Groce, they had on it "25 first half points ties for season low"
I looked it up. The other team to hold them to that? Gonzaga.
EDIT: I guess Washington was another game too.
Jim Rome had a great interview with Groce on yesterday's show. Here is the link to the full show. The interview is from 28:00 into the video to 41:40 into the video.

You're right. Apparently, West Virginia declined the invitation to play in the WNIT and that's why it was blank for a while on the bracket.

It is Wake Forest on Thursday at 7:00pm.
The WNIT bracket came out and literally shows Akron having no opponent. Looks like they're traveling to Morgantown now.

And I've heard those other three 13 seeds get at least some attention for potential upsets. I actually like the fact that no one is talking about Akron with an upset.
Just got done watching ESPN's "Bracketology - Field of 136" Show
Everyone on the show has UCLA making it to the Elite Eight, with most picking UCLA to the Final Four. One said that he picked them to go to the Final Four because they were there last year and return everyone.
Tough way for the Guzzardo-led Lady Lions to lose. UIW was 15-21 from the free throw line while SE Louisiana was 11-20. They had chances to put it away at the free throw line and just couldn't do it. Glad to see Guzzardo having success at SE Louisiana though.
This Southeastern Louisiana - Incarnate Word conference championship game is crazy. Incarnate Word was up 48-44 with 19 seconds left and Southeastern Louisiana came back to take a 50-48 lead with under 4 seconds left.
Incarnate Word gets fouled with 0.5 seconds left and makes both free throws to tie the game.
Overtime.

In terms of NET, out of the other projected 14 seeds, Longwood is just ahead of us and St. Peter's is a couple spots ahead of us. Colgate is just below us and they're a projected 15 seed.
If NET has a ton of weight for seeding, I think we most likely will be a 14 seed.
I didn't take your post as a dig. I just wanted to state it that every bracketology post I've seen has Akron as a 14 seed. That way if Akron is a 14 seed, there's no shock to it. I fully expect a 13 seed too though. I did catch your joke and agree with it. I would have reacted to your joke with a laughing emoticon but I was out of reactions 😂
Former Lady Zip, Ayla Guzzardo, is the head coach at Southeastern Louisiana. They're playing in the Southland Conference Championship game today at 2:00pm on CBS Sports Network against Incarnate Word.
Good luck Ayla and go Lady Lions!
USA Today has the best scenario so far in my opinion
They have us as the 13 seed playing 4 seed Providence. The other part of the section is 5 seed Houston playing the winner of Michigan and Notre Dame. The other top 3 seeds in the region are 1 seed Arizona, 2 seed Kentucky, 3 seed Purdue.
They have the Akron-Providence & Houston-Michigan/Notre Dame section playing in Buffalo.
CBS Sports has Akron as a 14 seed as well. Every bracketology page I've seen has Akron as a 14 seed.

Joe Lunardi now has Akron as a 14 seed playing 3 seed Wisconsin in Milwaukee. The 6-11 matchup would be #6 Texas vs #11 Miami(FL)

Bleacher Report has the Zips as a 14 seed paired up with 3 seed Wisconsin (with #6 Alabama vs #11 Virginia Tech in other game)

I've seen the the past three MAC Tournament Championships for the Zips and this is the best one yet. Where this program was when Dambrot left and basically starting over to going to an NCAA tournament without any seniors, is incredible. And the path to that NCAA tournament automatic bid consisted of beating Buffalo, Toledo, and then Kent State. This was earned. Well done guys!
