Can't travels to Kron Realizes they don't belong in the conference

They beat Can't State in Buffalo, I feel that it would be tough to overlook them at this point.

I hope that is not the case, because that would mean poor leadership. That is something I had hoped had been worked out in the last month.

So I am assuming to the original question, it's a no.

Sounds like a business venture that would almost be wroth looking into.

I hope this is some sort of reverse jinx attempt. I have Akron winning by five. 75-70.

Sabormetric basketball style??? And Zeke just said on the show he is working on rebounding. So it is not a problem that is secret to anyone. And if he continues to improve like he has his entire career, I think the problem will be goodbye.

Can't at #13? Ohio at #17? Wow.

I know it's not the best way to analyze this, and there is much more investigating that needs to take place , but in the highlights that UA put out, Marshall seems to be standing around. Only a couple times (including a sweet put back) was Zeke moving towards the hoop when a shot went up, and many times he allowed a much smaller defender to push him out of the paint. He did however do a hell of a job moving without the ball, which helped him kick butt and get inside the defense of the Bobcats. And without a doubt (IMO), the Zips are 3x better with Zeke on the court than they are without him. Upon further review: I watched it a second time and he did better than I first thought. Though he was boxed out a lot. And like I said before, he moved without the ball great when it was on the floor.

It is so exciting to think of a fast pace offense like Terry Bowdens along with a rough, tough defense of Chuck Amato. I know it is going to take a couple years, but it just seems like everything is going to be OK.

Akron has said that they are only allowing 1,000 students in. I got my ticket at the Women's Basketball game!

ON DEFENSIVE I think something that we must not forget however, is that Zeke not only blocks shots, he alternates many of them as well. I would love to see a stat of the percent of made shots when Zeke is trying to block them. I would be willing to bet it's not many. ON OFFENSIVE Me too, He should really be strong in that department.

Daddy Kellogg and the rest of the OU crew were being complete, you know what, to the rowdies and UA players the entire night. He whistled at and taunted Zeke to no end. Of course, it wasn't that effective. And about the officials, MAC refs really are not good. I don't know if there is a rating system or something for conference refs, but the MAC would be on the low end if there was.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game yesterday and reading through this thread. Last nights game was as exciting as it gets. I, for one, thought the crowed did a good job. Akron played from behind most of the night, and many times they had a chance to take the lead they came up short...until the last few minuets anyway. With that said, when the Zips finally did get over the hump I made the comment that the JAR got almost as loud as I have ever heard it, and I go to every game that I am within 200 miles of campus . I have been up close and personal with two Zip basketball teams, so my history knowledge of the program is a bit limited. However, I feel that this team is more exciting to watch than last year's team. Treadwell is more exciting to watch than Bardo (I do love my Cincinnati players however) and Harney can take on Darrel Roberts anytime IMO. And of course we have the evolution of the younger players last year that have been great this year (Abreu and Diggs). So in the conversation of excitement, I would lean towards this years squad. Of course, Last year's squad will always hold a special spot due to the Championship.
