ZippyMania

The Austin Peay game was fine. It showed the separation between the OVC and the MAC.Furthermore, the Zips did themselves no favors by scheduling such a cake walk non-conf schedule, and losing @ home to Nevada.While there are a lot of scape goats to be found in discussing why the Zips aren't in the post-season, there are also a few things the Zips need to look in the mirror and reflect on as well. Scheduling is first and foremost. Closing out tight games is another. Everything isn't Rick Boyages' fault, or the time keeper's fault. The NIT snub is the only thing that is 100% unjust and 100% out of our control.I still don't know why KD was so against going on the road against good teams with THIS team. I mean, suck it up and play the BCS gamesmanship when you have as good a team as we did this year.The BB game was some BS. We were favored by 15.5 for gods sake. Why they put us against an OVC team is beyond me. Redhawks got a bad MVC team but it was a MVC team. Indy State favored by 2Can't got Mason...GMU favored by 4Toledo gets ODU....ODU favored by 1we get freaking AP from a HORRENDOUS conference? I think we were destined to get screwed.

Agree, and why did ESPN start the NIT selection show with the ZIPs?????/I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that and then thought I must have missed our name on the board....Still in shock...

you did spell regarding wrong.....i don't think i've ever seen it spelled like you had it. Was a classless response though.

the shot still would have counted.....he shot it with more than a secomd left ob the clock :blink:

miami is going to get trucked, just like Can't did last year.

no

wow, how did we lose this game?????????

your an idiot

PLEASE do not storm the court against UB on Sunday. Why would we storm the court vs Can't as we were 8 pt favorites?That's like when Ball State stormed the court after beating BG last year. Storming the court is for when the home team is an underdog or it's a championship like game, not an early MAC battle as a heavy fav.Also, the key to the game was not letting HQ ever get going. Can't will go as far as he goes and last night he was no where to be seen.Great game by Ced and glad to see Dru snap out of his FT funk.UB should be interesting, as they have had issues on the road this year and we have them AFTER OU.

Well that was a pretty bad moose.

Unders feel like slow suicide. They are rough, especially when teams foul at the end of the game. OU and WMU are the king of Overs this year by the way.

I agree the Under looks really tempting tonight. Can't guards the 3 ball rather well which is what Akron really lives or dies by IMO. If Can't had lost to OU I would expect a hangover but don't expect one.Line is rather high...8 for Can't and 9 for Miami....We really haven't blown any good teams out at home or on the road. All our DD wins are against bad teams.Can't seems to get up for big games and not for the cream puffs.Zips 67Can't 62The Under and the DOG...it's a great combo

Illini were undermanned but yes, Miami played a good game. They blew the gameThey played Kentucky tough but Kentucky was missing a key player. They blew the game.They lost to Wright State at home for the first time since 1982 I believe. Wright State is pathetic. Just look at what the Raiders have done this yearYes, they beat UIC but UIC was on the end of a long road trip to start the year. Bad spot for the Flames in that one.Michigan was up about 20 to start the game. Michigan isn't a good team IMO, especially on the road.They were up against Dayton by 10 in the first and second halves. They blew the game.They lost to UC who lost at home ot Rutgers. Enough said. They also blew that game too.They got rocked at Illy State. I follow the MVC closely and that's the worst MVC team by far.They got rocked at Xavier. They beat Cant State after choking again. All that team does is choke. They are afraid to take shots at crunch time and were lucky Penno somehow hit that 3. They get some guy for our game who hasn't played this year but how much could he help?They may give us a game but they will have at least one stretch of 6+ minutes without a FG. They may be close at the end but will choke and blow the cover.Seriously, everything I wrote above is the truth.

Miami is really bad. How they beat Cant State is beyond me. Oh yeah, they choked again and Penno "can't hit a 3 for his life" hit a lucky ass shot. They have the worst PG play in the league and Peavy is inconsistant. Yeah, they play "great D" but they can't score. Zips have too many weapons and Dials and Dru will give Moosman fits. Lay the -9.5 no problem. As long as the Zips show up tomorrow it should be....Zips 70Choking underachieving ugly style playing Redhawks 52

Scary game IMO. I liked our defense at YSU and OHIO only has 4 players on the floor when Chatman is in the game. Troutman has been struggling recently too. Only fear is they get to the foul line ALOT.Won't be easy but we can take this.
