Zips at Texas-Arlington — NIT Round 2 (Mon 8 pm)
clarkwgriswold replied to Dr Z's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
In my season ticket holder time, I started with upstairs reserved with 2 seats for $200 per. I shared them and went to half the games. Roughly spent $200 for 2 seats to 7 or 8 games. I then moved down to a lower corner, and spent roughly $400 for the same thing with a better view. In neither of these did I get anything special from the school and have one purple Peters t-shirt from my time in those seats. This year, I decided buying two $60 GA seats was the way to. I wish I'd have saved my money earlier. I go into every game, climb my old self up the bleachers all of the way to the top, settle into my seats with a wall behind me and enjoy the game. I miss the lovely chair arms, but the hard plastic seats are no different to my keester than a wood bleacher. Would I like to be downstairs, sure, but not at the premium they get for the seats and the sight lines from upstairs are just fine. At this juncture, the citizens are never going to contribute to a new arena. Work with the box that's there. Get rid of that awful track, ditch those horrible blue plastic chairs that shake every time someone goes down the aisle, add some more decent seats, give me some reason to want to improve my seats, and move on. -
I'm jealous of where that program has gone since they were at the JAR. They were plenty solid then and very similar to UA quality-wise, but they've built on that to where they are now (a step above the Zips).

In my day, we'd send off smoke signals to the teams a county over and challenge them to a basketball contest.

It wasn't all that long ago we had something going with MTSU.

East there L, it was a joke!

Three games in three nights shouldn't be a problem for college players. Playing in that setting, I'm not sure that fewer games are any great benefit and the sample size is way too small to reach any strong conclusions. In the end, there's no perfect answer. The tournament winner getting the NCAA bid rewards the hot team, maybe the best team to go because they are peaking. The regular season winner would send the team with the more impressive body of work.

That's the way to get something like that done- a Twitter post. If that fails, they should give Craigslist a shot.

Zips at Texas-Arlington — NIT Round 2 (Mon 8 pm)

Looked at the UTA roster and stats. Bigs are a 7-1 guy, two 6-9's and two 6-8's. Leading scorer is Sun Belt Conference POY 6-9 junior forward Kevin Hervey, averaging 17.2 ppg and 8.6 rpg. Shoots quite a few threes, a bag man with range similar to Kwan. They were 13-0 at home this year. Averaged 78.1 points per game, gave up 69.6. -
Just to be the contrarian, a run by any MAC team would be good for the MAC. That's the kind of visibility a conference needs to be on the radar for at large berths.

I think they should implement the old NBA 3 to make 2 free throw rule!

Nice accomplishment for the kids and KD.
-
I thought they were done when they went down 6.

Our Zips showed some heart tonight! Nice job Zips.

Wow.

...as the seasons swirls down the ...

Let's go Zips. Time for a run

No, Antino is a third year junior. You may be thinking about Aron Jackson who had a redshirt season.

I love the Onion.

Zips @ Central Michigan (Keene to NBA draft)

Good luck to him. I think he's Kay Felder without the overall skills, but I wish him well as his success would be good for the MAC. -
Yes it is. I am in a nationwide bracket competition and the opening games dropped me to 4th place (out of 5 competitors).
-
Damn, that Cal loss completely ruined my NIT bracket.

Shhhhhhhhhh, I have them in my bracket and I am trying to keep them a secret!
