I have to tell you I have to take suckers to the game so I keep my mouth shut. My son insists on it So I just got them for tonight's game. I feel so confident that I bought an instant lottery ticket and I have never done that. Feel the luck and skill is with us tonight.

Poor Porrini, you guys are soooo hard on him He is a nice player as is Greene. But you all make this old lady laugh this morning. Long nite and longer tonight. Wooster to Akron to Q is a long ride, but sure worth it. BEAT OU!!

:wave: Hey I got the reply right this time Oh I have no doubt Zips will win. OU has to be tired. Just challenge Coop! Get in his FACE They don't have much of an inside game. Every time I watch this team I see improvement. I expect next season to be awesome and even make a run for the NCAA big time. They seem to be playing together more and watching more where each other is on the floor. Taking care of the ball will be a big thing tonight. GO ZIPS BEAT OU

I too noticed Greene picking up AA that was really nice. He seems like a quality guy. Someone has to challenge Coop tonight. They have to be tired after 2 hard games. This Can't team seems different than past ones, not so much hate. GO ZIPS BEAT OU !!!!

Very nice article. I met Zeke at the ND game in the hallway of the hotel. He was with his mother. I asked if I could shake his hand and he took my hand. He was such a gentleman. Now I am 5 foot so I was really really looking up. He smiled and was so very nice. Mom brought him up right that is for sure. GO ZIPS BEAT Can't!

I think I like to play Can't again. I do think we have their number. This is especially true if BIG Stein beats them up lots. I was hoping they would rest him more last night so he would be ready to go tonight. Broncos kind of scare me, just not sure. Also I think our team as confidence they can beat Can't, which for our team, is very important. Like to see Toledo beat OU. Then beat Buffalo. name='Akronnnnnnnn' date='Mar 8 2012, 01:04 PM' post='174484'] I dunno why, but a third matchup with Can't worries me. I'd rather take the Broncos.

Funny you mention him, my son and I were just chatting on the phone doing the game that we hope Starinbrook is rested so he can beat up on Can't tomorrow night. :D He is really in there to muscle around under the basket, he is not much of a player and certainly not much of a shooter. Hope they whip Can't tomorrow night. Go ZIPS!

YES GO ZIPS We need a huge following at the Q.

Ok my predictions. W. Mich will win and then beat Can't. We will beat WMich. C Mich will beat Toledo and OU will win. OU will lose to Buffalo and we will play them and win. I am not excited about us playing Buffalo at the end, looking for a dark horse to appear and then we beat them. I have my tickets for the weekend. Have to see where they are. Got them through Akron so should be with other Akron people. This

;)Also Nick, if you read this, I got a hug at the ND game last year, I expect a hug in Pittsburg this year. ;)

CONGRATULATIONS MEN FOR A WONDERFUL SEASON.Sitting several rows behind your bench, you have added join to an old alumnus. I will be in Cleveland and Pitt if that is where the NCAA is played for you. Go getting them in Cleveland, you can do it, you really can. Oh remember you win as a team but lose as individuals! Edit (mod note): Two types of "reply" buttons

I was pleased to see the sports psychologist on the bench. This team ia a work in progress and it may take a few years to get everyone on the same page. I was happy to see KD patting everyone on the head or butt. I loved when Tree patted him back. tooo funny. The second half they looked like a championship team. They have got to start believing in themselves and their talent. KD has his work cut out for himself. I guess I think of this team as a split personality. haha Got my tickets for Friday and Sat., hope they can carry this game to the tournament.

Nope the problem is the team has a split personality. They won because they decided to play ball the second half and worked as a team. Very proud of them coming back from the deficit. Boy do I have great hopes for next year. When they wants something so badly they do what needs to be done.

First let me say, as an alumnus, certainly I am disappoinedt in last night's game. But you know what, I have to believe the boys are disappointed also. I will support this team and UA always. The talent is there, now they have to run with it. Not going to blame anyone. I was there and they played their hearts out. The fans were great too. I have my tickets for Friday and Sat. and am looking forward to seeing the guys. Of course I will be watching the Can't game. GO ZIPS BEAT Can't.

At least last year Brad said he and his wife, especially his wife, like where they are and not interested in moving the family. I have wondered why KD has not been looking. On Monday's show he kept talking about the being a home town guy and all the past and present friends he has. Hard to believe he would leave. By the way Bradley is doing very bad this year. Maybe leaving Can't was not such a good idea haha I know there are quite a few more likely candidates, but with Mike Thomas now the AD at Illinois, does anybody else think KD at least makes their discussion list of potential candidates for new basketball coach? If I'm them, I go all-out after Butler's Brad Stevens.

Estremely well said I applaud you, you are right on target.

As an alumni and avid follower I am saddened by last night's game. However, right now I am thinking it as a fluke, just to stay positive. Let's see what happens on Wednesday night and let's see what OU does to Can't. Who is to blame for last night? There is enough blame to go around. Either they are a team or they are not, they will have to prove it. As I have said in the past, you cannot KEEP moving guys in and out and expect consistancy and team play, not going to happen, coach! Right now I am not a KD fan at all. Does he have this team under control, disciplined and eager to play and WIN? and be unselfish, I think not. I think not. Not saying any more. Oh one last thing, if AA lets the ball roll down the floor again with 15 min. left to play slap his hands. That is a hot dog play.

GO ZIPS! beat OU!

GO ZIPS! beat OU!

Hi There, Well I have been reading lots of comments regarding the OR game. Personally, I think the bottom line is the coach or coaches.Just a few questions Why is such a talented team not playing to potential? Why is there such a slow start? Why can we not play with the big boys. Our team has really never been challenged in the MAC so there is a false sense of accomplishment. Tree needs to play more under the basket. IF Zeke cannot do the job then tree should. I cannot believe after 3 years of play Zeke has not learn how NOT to foul. I would play him until he fouls out, maybe then he will learn to keep his hands up. As soon as he brings them down a foul will be called. I just don't think KD can play with the big guys. Check out Bradley, not doing so well. A 20 game year is misleading when you see who we play. Again a false sense of what is really happening. Hopefully everyone has learned something from this experience. I love the Zips and know they can do better.

Yes, I would like to know what the coach said to Q. Their 3 pointers were shut down. The team played well BUT they still cam do better. Just keep working very hard. This next game will be a tough one they can beat OR but will need to play their best ball, which they can. I wish I could be at the game, I will be watching. GO ZIPS beat OR.

I was at the ND game, we really started out well. I think ND thought we were a push over and they were flat to start. HOWEVER, they finally figured out we were a good team to take seriously. I truly believe this year's team is much better than last years. However, they have to start believing it and start giving all they can possibly give. Not sure they are at that point and it might take another year. The after game conference where Tree made a comment about how hard they don't work is a good example. He is so talented. If you give all you can you will reap the benefits. Beat Miami, Go Zips

Good Morning, Snow in Wooster kept me from the game but watched on the computer. I agree, Nick needs to keep going to the basket, no more trying 3's. I was a bit frustrated with the way they played, but it was a win. I really like Harney and Tree. Tree is so good at the basket, soft touch. It has to be hard trying to figure out what to do and when with this team. They cannot start the game as they did last night against a really good team. They will get eaten. Got to come out hard and strong and stay strong to win big ones.
