bigzipguy Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 It is still 48 hours away, but let's start predictions for Sat: I still can't, at least at this point, overlook our lack of rebounding and inside scoring. I think are chances are around 40% thet we pull this one out. Your thoughts? Quote
pdt1420 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 @Miami, always a tough, even for our best teams of the past few yearsIf we lose by alot, it still doesn't tell us much about the team because of the intangibles (road game, great opponent, first MAC game for many of these kids)If we lose close, I feel fine with that and can hope for revenge on the return tripIf we win, then I start thinking this enigma of a team has a fighting chance to win the MAC.I think we lose a close one 58-53 Quote

I'm hoping for an explosion from McNees again! Quote

Bleacher Bum Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Chuck Norris could defend it!Whoa Whoa Whoa! No one, not even Chuck Norris, can defend Ditka's post play. Quote
skip-zip Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 pdt...remember...Miami can beat you soundly and the score might still be within 10 points. So, a wide point margin is unlikely, so you don't have to worry about that. If ever there was a game that could give us a chance to build some confidence that we can compete this year, this would be it. I think that their style of play, coupled with the strange environment, has just made for a difficult combination for us to overcome through the years. And this team might be more affected by it than others. And we still have so many issues that have not been ironed out. Akron shoots 50% or better from 3 point range: Akron 55 Miami 51Otherwise: Miami 50 Akron 44 Quote
Zipmeister Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 I have a feeling Akron wins by 14. Quote

The Hip Zip Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 With Hayes lost for the season we have a shot but it will take our very best effort. Nate has done a great job of locking down Bramos in the past but Miami is still the class of a down league this season.Miami 59Akron 55 Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Roberts breaks out of a puzzling (to me anyway) slump with a nice game but it's not enough.MU 55UA 50 Quote
jeaglet1 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Sagarin has Miami an 8.4 point favorite over Akron.I'll say Miami 57 Akron 50 Quote
ZippyRulz Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 I have a feeling Akron wins by 14.14 points? What a homer So am I. KD has the team's full attention after the RI drubbing and workouts from he11. Humpty takes a step up and plays a solid game. Shooting, rebounding and defense get off the schnide enough for a 64-60 Zips win. Quote
RowdyZip Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 So it's said the game is on ONN. To the best of my ability, i've found it on TWC digital channel 362. It's not programmed into the guide though, as it still just says "Ohio News" at 4:30pm. Hopefully this is the channel. OH...andZips 63Sweaters 54 Quote

Quickzips Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 91-87 akron12, or 13 overtime periods?If thats the case I think we'll have to burn a few redshirts and KD and Coach Boals may even have to suit up by the 7th or 8th OT. Quote

Bleacher Bum Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Looks like it might start late, the Can't/Miami Women's game is on now with 3 minutes left in the game. Quote
w00t Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Abysmal start. Who the heck is McNees throwing these passes to? Quote
w00t Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Yay! A bucket! And it only took six minutes! Quote
