No, the best thing about the new site is that they FINALLY fixed the broken links!

HA! Based on other decisions that the marketing dept makes (or doesn't make,) I'm sure that they have no clue the NIU's colors are red & black.

I'm surprised by that.

Anyone know if they are auctioning off the special jerseys from last night? I'd love to have one.

That's not true because one week ago I got a call saying that if I bought 3 MAC games, I could have all 3 games in the lower bowl.

How full was the JAR Cupcake Factory? I looked online today for tickets to the game tonight and there were no lower bowl seats available and only 33 seats available in the upper reserved. I call BS on that.

Live by the 3, die by the 3. No toughness on this team, a bunch of softies who like to shoot the 3 and stay out of the paint. That beats cupcakes but it won't beat decent MAC teams. for the last 6-7 years, KD's teams have a "tough guy", this team does not. None of this should be a surprise though. With the exception of the Arkansas game, they really haven't played well all year.

Aaron Jackson

well they were picked to win the west

The El Matador defense is working well again tonight! Fix that now!

At the end of the day we're talking about MAC sports. I love the Zips, I want UA to make a run in March Madness every year, I want the Zips to with the National Title, I want them to put players in the NBA, I want the Jar Cupcake Factory sold out every night, I want 5 star recruits, etc. But the reality is, none of that has happened, is happening and probably never will happen. MAC sports (or most mid major conferences for that matter) for the most part, aren't relevant in the grand scheme of the NCAA business anymore. That's why the "Mid Major Poll" exists, that's why the CBI Tournament exists and that's why there are 40 bowl games in football. There aren't many people that care about mid-major sports. We do. Some alumni do. Some Students do. Some in the community do. Casual fans would rather watch tOSU because frankly, it's better to watch. I watched parts of the Indiana/OSU game this past weekend, it's way better to watch. Yes, I watch UA but no, I can't watch a random MAC game in which the Zips aren't playing. Having said all that, I'll be watching or listening to the game tonight (and every other one I can for the rest of the year) and attending the ones that I can. Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, Go Zips Go!

I agree.

Well obviously they aren't concerned because NOTHING has been done about the lack of attendance in three years. Here's an example....I tried to buy tickets to the game and wanted seats in the lower bowl. What was I told? the only way I can but tickets in the lower bowl is if I buy a 3 game package. Sorry, I'm not interested in going to 3 crappy games.

Things that I noticed - Poor shot selection - Poor interior defense - Big Dog is a beast - Other than Antino, this team has no quickness at all - I love Jake's effort - How long has Steve French had that Rugby shirt he is wearing - It's a nice change to see the free throw shooting good this year - Man those guys in Vegas know what they're doing Good win for UA - any road win in the MAC is a good win. Fix things up now and have things ready for the middle to end of the season.

I agree with you. UA is the best team in the MAC - and I don't think it's close.

UA fans are the last people that should be talking bad about someone else's OCC schedule.

Let me guess, you also have some nice beach front property at Summit Lake you want to sell me too?

The Kenpom rankings are based 100% on what if.

Please get out of the "what if" world of the Kenpom rankings. Those rankings mean absolutely nothing. And, NO WAY is the 2012 - 2013 team better than the 06 - 07 team...no way. How about the '86 team? Where is DIG when you need him?!

Should be a real barnburner at the JAR Cupcake Factory

LOL, for a second you had me thinking that they beat Miami FL

The MAC Basketball Pick Em is up and running if you're interested. MAC BASKETBALL PICK EM

After seeing the picture of the "arena" it's hard for me to take this "tournament" seriously. Anything less than two wins is unacceptable.

Well hopefully you were one if the 750 to get the T Shirt too!

Morris, you need to #ThinkBigger
