Now that the zips are the champs

This is the best team since I've been around the Akron program ('89). They won, plain and simple.I root for a lot of teams in sports and have seen "not the best team" get hot at the right time and win.Getting hot and playing big in the big games is what makes a great team, and that's why this is the best team.PS Why didn't we get to rush the floor last night??? I feel robbed of that experience.

I am so ecstatic that we won the MAC this year, it's beyond words. I am so proud of these guys. They have grown SO well as a team over this season and it scares me to think of the potential we will have in the coming years.

wouldn't a trip to miami next week be nice!

The MAC does not allow it. They put all the security guards in the building in front of the main group of Akron fans.I don't get it. Every other conference lets it happen, even if they technically "forbid" it. Hell, they wouldn't even let Nate's parents out on the floor to give him a hug.

Something that caught my eye, and KD mentioned in the papers: It's been 23 years since we were last in the NCAA tournament, this was our 23rd win of the season, #23 Brett McKnight was the leading scorer, and KD's career is owed to another #23 that was in attendance at the Q: The King himself, Lebron James. It's too much to be mere coincidence.

That explains the dance team uniforms then. Very subtle and clever.

It was also our 23rd win of the year.

All the security guards in the building were not in front of the main group. They were EVERYWHERE. I tried several different places to get down, and they had multiple security guards at EVERY turn. I have never seen security so tight at any sporting event. It burns me to watch highlights today of every other conference's students getting to rush the floor.

Since when does the MAC not allow it...since last night? It sucked. Nice job Rick Chryst.

they were assholes about it too. i was in the upper section and slowly made my way down and waited. finally when all the cleaning crews were out i was able to just walk down to the floor by the bench. by that time though, they were clearing everyone out. i can kind of understand preventing a student rush of the floor, but to not even let the families of the players out on the floor was absolutely ridiculous.
