According to #sources I spoke with last week, Bass and Hayes were locks to be gone. Sullinger was as well, but began to reconsider during the run. Allegedly, his uncle may not be sticking around any longer for one reason or another.

Anyone in the know have good intel on parking? @zippy5 @3rd&twenty

Ronnie Steward PG. Gotta have Josh Egner too.

John Groce has coached 11 seasons of MAC basketball He has won at least one MAC tournament game in each of those seasons (sans 2020, N/A). In the 10 MAC tournaments he has coached in, he has won 40% of them. His highest rated team at Akron was not able to participate in 2020. Bonkers.

That season, the Zips lost their final 2 regular season games, beat Miami in the quarterfinals, and beat Kent by 1 in the championship. Sounds familiar.

When I think Akron basketball bigs the first name that pops into my mind is Taylor Currie. The two-headed monster of he and Tre Edwards en route to the 2021 Elite Eight will always stand as the most dominant front-court in Akron’s history.

The AI that created this thread/poll isn’t very good

Turn back the Zips Nation clock to mid-February 2022. Now that was a fun time 😬

There’s luck involved in just about every championship. 2021, Ohio had COVID at the right time and could rest up. 2022, Zips benefit from Sendy running a trash program. 2023, Kent is lucky Ali Ali gave Butler a shot. 2024, Kent lucks out with the Bass injury before one of their own morons strikes again, and Tribble, who blew FTs in his final game at the JAR, cans the last 2 to win it. Shammah Scott went a month without hitting a 3, then hits the most clutch 3 of the MAC tournament. Make or miss game. Brian Walsh, Ronaldo Segu, Jaylin Hunter, Jalen Sullinger. IYKYK.

17 #1 seeds have lost this week so far, or something like that. A10 has stolen a bid knocking out Dayton. Anything can happen.

Reggie Bass getting hurt was the greatest thing to ever happen to that team. He and Emoni Bates are the biggest losers to ever play in the MAC. It ain’t even close.

You reap what you sow, Pinky. You recruit idiots, you get idiotic results. He’s not much of a genius when a women’s player’s boyfriend isn’t begging for a roster spot.

Great. Now Ali will cost us another NCAA tournament win. 😜

I thought 2022 killed the 2020 demons. I was wrong. Still very much alive. No reason for this, at all. Success is fleeting for mid-majors. And these guys have pissed down both legs and all of ours.

Legacy tarnishing collapse. Thank the Lord for 2022.
