Thad Matta just got himself an 8 to 10 ppg Big East player. -
BVP is a good player. You can't have enough good players.
-
Insincere has declared for the NBA draft. He's not hiring an agent so he will maintain his eligibility.
-
His shooting wasn't great after facing Akron and the trapping defense but his only awful game after Akron was against Rice where he had 8 points and 6 boards. Otherwise, after Akron he averaged 24 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. He had 37/7/3 against Abilene Christian in their last game.

My initial inclination is to enjoy our opponents losing good players but on second thought good players make for a better MAC and the only way out of the one bid abyss is a better MAC..

NCAA Tournament- Game 1- UCLA
clarkwgriswold replied to clarkwgriswold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! Say it ain't true! The next thing you're going to tell me is that John Calipari cheats. I gave up when North Carolina and Saint Roy Williams walked away from that academic scandal unscathed. -
NCAA Tournament- Game 1- UCLA

Great. Kansas and that cheating Bill Self win a national championship while the NCAA plods through one of its interminable investigations. I'll bet the Adidas money train is happy along with the Kansas administration that gave Self what is essentially a lifetime contract in the midst of the investigation. Better yet, they win it over a school with a history of cheating. -
Exactly. It is similar to the recruiting process where you have to wait to see how the top kids are going to pan out before the other kids settle into their new schools. I did an informal study and found that 97.8% of college basketball players are unrealistic as to the level of their talent and the quality of schools that might want them.

How is Thad Matta only 54 years old? I'd have bet he was 60 plus. I was thinking the Butler made a mistake by hiring an old fogy.
-
That's as close as I have seen to a compliment for Dakich!
-
That NC/Duke game was outstanding.
-
Eff LSU. Bunch of damn cheaters. The school even let its cheater coach keep coaching when there was clear evidence he was a cheater.
-
Yep, the only way that works well is if Freeman extends his range or the other big guy is like Xeyrius and can play away from the basket.
-
Good luck to Boals. Seems like a good coach and a good guy, just the kind of coach I would hope for an archrival to lose.
-
It happens. Arizona State football had a kid who went in, then committed to return then went back in and transferred. It's all nuts.
-
Only if he plays 6 games then bails.

Bob Huggins To Be Inducted Into HOF
clarkwgriswold replied to clarkwgriswold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
I believe Alex Abreu was inducted into the DEA and United States Postal Service Halls of Fame. -
Our old friend Bob Huggins is reportedly going to be one of this year's inductees into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Congrats Bob. Well deserved.
-
Clearly, the Zips are in a worse position than they were 2-3 weeks ago, however, the only relevant point of comparison is 2-3 weeks ago versus next March.
-
A MAC regular season championship makes for a really nice banner and little else.
-
He's certainly not a program changing loss. They'll find a replacement without much difficulty. In the portal he'll be seen as a 7 footer who is generally able to get down the floor without tripping on his own feet and some coaches will remember the old maxim "you can't teach height."
-
I'm thinking I should have started a thread "The Next Shoe to Drop- losses to the Transfer Portal" where we could all make predictions as to our next defection.
-
What many of these kids need to understand is that a person at the talent level to be an average or above average MAC player isn't going to draw any NIL money anywhere.
