RootforRoo44 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 just received this message today on facebook, and it got me thinking a bit ahead but read on this is about Winthrop as well....=============== Josh VerlinI write for the Pitt Panthers' basketball team (pittoaklandzoo.blogspot.com) and we're trying to get student's perspectives from the teams we face. As most Panthers fans don't know too much about the Akron Zips (other than Zeke Marshall), I was wondering if I could ask you a few basic questions about the team to give our student body a better understanding of the team we're going to play on Friday.Thanks,Josh Verlin===============me: Today at 11:59amsure sure, shoot...===============Josh VerlinThanks a lot- If you could write like 2-3 sentences for each answer, that'd be awesome...give our fans a little info and such.1) Who are your star players?2) What's the biggest strength for this team?3) Who's your coach?4) Give me three reasons the Zips will win this game.5) Give me three reasons the Zips will lose the game.===============I answered pretty thoroughly, hope i did not tip anything . Though I'm sure our strengths and weaknesses are pretty obvious to any observer. I think it would be interesting for everyone to put their answers to these questions but applied to the Winthrop game (i dont know if the Zips have much of a chance against Pitt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeustin89 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 looks like the winthrop fans are giving Akron plenty of respect for the program's accomplishments in the recent years. Doesnt seem like they realize just how young this team is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think we've been over this before...maybe last year? But does anyone know why there's no betting line for the game? Does it have something to do with Winthrop being a Big South team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have something to do with Winthrop being a Big South team?Bingo, no Big South lines except in tourneys. If there were a line I'd think it would be very close to even, maybe the Zips -1 just based on the home floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I think it was pretty obvious who the better team was. And maybe we got a glimpse of what our team can really do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
