Big Dog wins 6th Man of the Year! http://www.mac-sports.com/news/2016/3/8/MBB_0308162522.aspx

Really good article. Its nice to see a national site put in the time to give an in-depth look at our program.

The tournament changed back to a traditional format this year. The top 4 seeds all receive a single bye.

He's obviously great, but I don't know how much of an advantage it actually is. I read on ESPN that Greg Oden played for the Buckeye's manager team earlier this year. It seems that a lot of these teams bring back old players as well as the team managers.

There are no excuses for this game. Teams have figured out how to beat Akron. I have faith that Dambrot can figure something out to right the ship though.

Why are we pressing a guy standing on the mid-court logo?! Its killing us again! Noah and Antino just can't stay in front.

Boo: Last 4 games all weekdays! Yay: Kent in early October when we might have decent weather! Boo: Only bye week is the second to last week of the season? That seems weird to me.

They didn't pay for a ticket, but the student section sure emptied out after they were able to pick up their bobble head at halftime.

That height and weight reminds me of another linebacker. He was pretty good.

True Blue (Buffalo's student group) had a trip planned, but was forced to cancel it today due to weather. I'm disappointed, they always help to create a great atmosphere.

I was just thinking about how running back was the biggest apparent weakness of our team next year. I fully expect Bell to step in and get major time right away.

I wouldn't be so as ure that the university will be changing presidents quite yet. The board has done nothing but show support for Scarborough and thedevilstrip.com is even reporting that they are considering a contract extension at the moment.

The camera is awful. I love Big Dog, but I have seen enough close up shots of his butt to last a lifetime already.

Zips dominate throughout, but BG hits a bunch of garbage threes at the end of the game. Just like what has happened the last few games. Zips by 8

I'm guessing that the one that you liked was Larry Scirotto. He is a ref that I always enjoy having. He seems to do a good job and has fun with it most of the time. He also seems to be a pretty good guy as he is a commander in the Pittsburgh police force.

Some of us noticed that he had 5 fouls on the stat boards on each end of the court. We figured that the boards were wrong because even MAC refs can't be that bad.

If you pay attention, NIU fans constantly complain that their team can't recruit and that their classes are awful. It doesn't seem to have hurt the team much though.

Zips pull away late. Zips 81-67

Overall, the most interesting comment from Bowden's press conference was that he wants to make the University of Akron the premier Midwest school for players that want to play football and compete on the track and field team. He mentioned that this was a huge reason for us getting both Kwaderrius Smith and Bryce Jones as transfers. If it continues to get us fast, skilled players, I am all for it.

A recruit by the name of Tre Richardson seems to have commited to the Zips also. It looks like he is from Can't Roosevelt. He didn't have an official announcement either.

They did mention a few players that transferred last year. Kevin Gladdney, Jojo Natson, Kwaderrius Smith and Bryce Jones were all treated like newcomers. I found him not mentioning Krok to be unusual. He spent a lot of time talking about how he is rebuilding the o line.

Bowden commented that he is not allowed to talk about Gilchrist. He must not have signed today.

Jonathan Neeley has officially joined the Zips!
