  1. And this is why if I had to pick one or the other (not that there was ever a choice), I would have preferred to get the COVID issues out of the way in preseason/OOC compared to conference play. Its much more important than the chance to take Illinois to OT.
  2. I haven't read the article, but what was his point here? Honestly I see no real difference between Miami and Ball St in the 7 or 8 seed, nor do I see much difference in BG, Owho, Canada, and Rootstown CC in the 3-6 seeds, and at this point, I'd bet against any of those scenarios changing.
  3. Starting punter getting out of dodge after word of the new long snapper.
  4. I think I read the NIT isn't guaranteeing a spot for conference champs who don't make the dance, so unless you care about a regular season championship a ton (which is nice, but the tourney is more important to me), I don't think the 1 vs the 2 seed is a big deal looking at potential match ups. I wouldn't be shocked if Toledo preferred to have a week off to rest up.
  5. I feel like M. Jackson gets hurt on a semi-regular basis and somehow always manages to be fine.
  6. A win is a win! First place Zips (for right now)!
  7. NIU was lights out and we are only down 4. I expect us to get it together and be okay. Taking NIU +17 was easy money though (knock on wood).
  8. Anyone want to guard #12?!
  9. Trimble is insane. I'd be curious to see how his 3 pt % compares to the likes of Banks, McAdams, Kretzer, etc.
  10. We better get it together. If we get swept by NIU...sheesh.
  11. There are apparently some fans allowed at the JAR today. Congrats to all those lucky enough to attend.
  12. As of 3 hours ago
  13. West Florida is D2 though that division maxes out at 36. Can't speak for West Florida, but most PSAC teams, which is a very good D2 conference, only offer in the 20s.
  14. or likely any honestly. Not only do FBS schools have generally much higher quality of player, they have about 4x as many on scholarship.
  15. It'll be interesting to follow as we near the end of conference play, but I wonder if Toledo is starting to wear down with their 7 man rotation. I said it before and I'll say it again - I'd feel very confident against them in the MAC-C. Let's just hope we get there and don't need to play them until the finals.
  16. What would give us the tiebreaker with the same amount of conference losses and splitting the series?
  17. Well Toledo is about to screw my betting, but I suppose I can sacrifice my $30 if the Zips benefit. They are ice cold right now.
  18. Good news: https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/2021/02/10/university-akron-raising-wages-back-pre-pandemic-levels-amid-anticipated-surplus-higher-education/6704856002/?utm_source=morning-roundup&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20210211&utm_content=article13-readmore
  19. The MAC is down a little no doubt, but I also think just about all of college basketball is as well. Not that I'm advocating for an at-large, just an observation.
  20. Leaf Home Solutions grew 80% organically in 2020 and total revenue for that group of companies is now over 1.1 billion. Kaulig is kicking some serious a$$ https://apnews.com/press-release/pr-newswire/business-corporate-news-lee-brown-north-america-products-and-services-d8961f7dfbfa07ea9d820279aa1b8e57
  21. Scholarship may have been the original intent, but I'd say its either 1) we found a better player to use it on or 2) there was some issue with Cook (former OT coach) leaving for the NFL. I think its more likely the former. Suppose we'll have to wait and see.
  22. Would sure be nice to know what happened there.
  23. Obviously got a little too close for comfort towards the end, but we really out-willed Kent tonight. Love to see it. Still feel confident in our MAC-C chances. My prediction about Freeman when we got to conference play was clearly wrong..he is a factor in every game. Go Zips!
  24. Pippen is such a thug.
  25. Excluding his first couple games, he's gotta be one of the best 3 pt shooters in the MAC.
