Since Linhart is out now we will see more bench players getting longer minutes. Now KD will have to use them more. I guess this is one way to get the bench out on the floor more.

That's bad news for Nate. This will turn out to be good for the team though. Now it is time for the bench guys to show us why they are on the team. We've been second guessing a lot of them most of the season. Let's see what they can do. It's crunch time now. Time to step up. We will see some of our future starters for next year getting extended minutes.

If the Browns take Brady Quinn or any QB at the #3 pick then they are even dumber than I thought!

Thanks skip-zip. I had brain freeze and was thinking it was a different player, but you are correct!

Just think. Beginning next season we will be hearing much less about all the LeBron ties. The only tie-in will be with KD, which won't come up nearly as much. Even though it has become annoying to us, I think that it did help the program's recognition nationally.

"I was there also and Anthony Buford almost kept us in the game singlehandedly. He was one of the best athletes and pure shooters we ever had. Imagine if Huggins had stayed, we would have a few of the famous UC alumni as our players."Buford had the big slam dunk to end the first half and quiet the OSU fans. It was beautiful! :bow:When Huggins left who was the player that transferred to UC? I remember him being pretty good, but I forget his name at the moment.

"Jakubik...definately."Speaking of Jakubik, I see him all the time. His son plays on some sports teams with my son.

"Would you rather have either of those guys or the Cricket on the floor? My answer is the Cricket, no question."Eric was great!I remember when we played Ohio State in the NIT his senior season. I was at the game. We had the lead at the half. He got hurt and then that was the end of that!

"If we don't win the tournament this year, Dru and Rome will simply be two good players who once wore blue and gold."Exactly!! or bust.

At Buffalo 4. Virginia (7) Lofty ACC record reason for big jump 13. Akron (NS) Zips are in for first time this season 5. Vanderbilt (8) Knocking off Florida counts for something 12. Winthrop (13) At-large chances suddenly plausible I'd like to see that become reality for sure. I like the first and possible second round matchups! And the location couldn't be much better either.

Both look great! Taylor Hill shows he can shed blockers at will and run most people down. McCarthy is quick and can break tackles very well for a QB.

This will be a tough game and probably pretty boring to watch.Zips 61Miami 56

It always makes me happy when the Dolphins are on TV because I like when the players say what college they attended. I love hearing Jason Taylor say The University of Akron!

"Looking at the teams ahead of us, I think it is the highest we will get for the whole season."I disagree. If we can keep winning I believe we can jump over Appalachian State and possibly Davidson. #5 is not out of the question.

I agree with what you mentioned Z-P. I like that we can change constantly throughout the game depending on what is happening. Our great depth allows us to do this pretty easily compared to other teams. I also like tha fact that we can play with anyone in the paint and can hit three's with the best of them. My concern is free throws. We seem to be doing better lately, but I am afraid that this is the area that will eventually end our season.

We need to look at getting more matchups with the other top mid major programs. Butler, Creighton, Old Dominion, Pepperdine, Penn, Charlotte, Gonzaga, etc. Teams that have a recognizable name and have had some recent success in March Madness.

Does anyone know if we have any OOC teams scheduled for next year yet? Hopefully we will have higher ranked teams for next year. We can't keep playing the Tiffin's and St Francis' of the world anymore!

This is probably good for us. There are a couple other position coaches that need upgraded as well.

Nice article. He has really made a great name for himself!

That article sounds typical of the refs these days, not only in the MAC and other college sporting events, but also at the youth and high school levels. Had a similar situation happen to my son's team. It's ridiculous.

The Rubber Bowl is getting pretty shabby, but I would still rather play there for a couple more years than in some of the stadiums others have. Many of them are glorified High School stadiums. One that comes to mind is BG.

The Austin Peay name is great for coming up with good cheers, but I remember the days when we played Morehead State. That offered the ultimate in great humorous cheers!

If the Gov's have a similar style of play to Toledo then we will have a close game. If not, we win by 9+ points. I don't see anyone coming to the JAR and winning right now outside of a top 15 team.

We better remember this one. Who knows when we will ever be ranked ahead of Duke again!Chad Sokol WNCN-TV Raleigh NC 1 Florida 2 Ohio St. 3 North Carolina 4 Wisconsin 5 Texas A&M 6 UCLA 7 Memphis 8 Pittsburgh 9 Kansas 10 Nevada 11 Washington St. 12 Georgetown 13 Marquette 14 Oregon 15 S.

If we get more than 4 inches I'll be shocked. It's always exagerated.
