Just because its D3 doesnt mean they dont have their ways of taking care of their athletes.

show the 7th place game on tv but not the 5th place? seems logical ESPN.

I really dont see who is starting making a difference. We are a deep team. Everybody worth of minutes will get their fair share whether they are starting or not.

Actually played against Cunninghum in high school. He played for Waterford. Gaudio is actually an Ohio native as well. From one of the Buckeye schools prior to consolidating and becoming Buckeye Local in Jefferson Co. I am really pleased with the Zips today. This is how we should play all year. UNC-Asheville is a quality team that took Syracuse to the limit last year in the tourney. Its a shame Tree and Harney werent able to play the first 3 games, but hopefully we will not have to worry about any at large because I plan on winning the MAC!

Gilliam playing like a senior today.

Bolded 1) because we should have won the game. Ok St's fans' negligence has nothing to do with how our team performed, or why we should be content with the close loss. We shot 30%...that isnt good no matter which way you want to spin it. Bolded 2) OK St is NOT an upper echelon Big 12 team. They finished last year 15-18. 3rd worst in the big 12, in fact. I do think we will be fine with Tree and Harney back, however.

Dont let those guys get to you man.

I respect your opinion on this site, DIG, but shooting 30% from 3 is no reason to keep chucking. Everybody knows that the closer you get to the basket, the more shot % goes up. For what its worth, the Zips ended up shooting 30.7% from 3s and 29.5% from 2. Hardly a disparity that constitutes chucking 3s rather than working the ball in the paint. Talking about Diggs is pointless really. He wont be back this season, so there is no reason to keep saying "if". We have to move on a some point.

no single player cost us the game.

Why are we trying to be like the OU Bobcats with all of these 3s?!?!? Last I checked we are the Akron Zips, who have two mid-major impact 7 footers. Why do we not get the ball to them more??!?!? Speaking of our 7 footers.....jesus how are they rotating and both in foul trouble? The dream of the "twin towers" will never come to life if they can't play good defense.

I think we can beat OK St if we play like we are capable of. They are nothing special. Go Zips!

That is true. Knocking off NC State would do wonders for us. However, I do not have as high hopes of that happening with the way the team performed at CCU. Hopefully they have improved considerably since.

Unfortunately the "powers that be" do not look to see if a team was at full strength during a loss during Selection Sunday

not looking good right now. They are getting blown out by the powerhouse known as "Ole Miss"

Notre Dame should be alright with their new agreement with the ACC. I THINK. Edit: looking at the article again, it says that Notre Dame as a shared deal with the SEC/Big 10 opposite of the ACC champion in the Orange Bowl (pretty sure ND can even represent the ACC). So they are set up pretty nice, as expected.

scheduling the likes of Malone and Tiffin didnt seem to prepare us well for Coastal Carolina. I'll withhold judgement on how well John Carroll prepared us after we play OK St.

big question of the night: why are we playing a division 3 school?

I'm glad we didnt hire a guy who cant even win in D2 consistently. Give me the guy who shows a history of turning programs around, and winning everywhere he goes (who is also very familiar with the area) over a guy who had one dream season(record of 27-37 overall) in D2.

25 years of failure are irrelevant to this season. Ask Cant!

Its not like we offered 2 D-II coaches our job last year or anything..

With your quitting mentality, I take it you are a quitter in life. With your logic, why dont we just drop to d3? That way we wouldnt lose a game for the foreseeable future?

If you want to root for an FCS team, go root for YSU. If Akron drops (they wont), ill never attend another game.

LOL calling for the FCS again.

what a joke of a performance today. Props to the defense though. Forced some turnovers for once and played in their territory basically all day.

Glad Williams decided to show up on senior day.
