Akron seeding in the NCAA Tournament

[IBleedMACGreen]

This just came across my sports feed updates - Akron is projected as a #13 seed in today's NCAA Tournament projections. Word around the media was the MAC Champs may get a #15 seed this year so a 13 or 14 would be a positive I guess. I just hope you all get a favorable matchup and pull an upset or two.

[Dave in Green]

Thanks. Interesting that the other #13 seeds are Stephen F. Austin, VCU and Cleveland State.

I still think a #14 seed is more likely. Not that I care about the Red & Silver, I wonder if the seeding of OSU and Purdue depends at all on who wins the Little 11 tourney?

I think we would have had a 13 had Mississippi St not won. I think they bumped us out of the last 13. Bet we're a 14 now.

Well we know we're in the South region now. The people here at OBC seem to be disappointed when we don't get a 12 seed haha

#13 Akron vs #4 GonzagaShould be good

Playing Gonzaga in Oregon...no good

Not thrilled that it's in Portland, but otherwise i'm pretty happy to play Gonzaga, I hate them.

You think any other zips fans will go? I wish they were playing Dayton haha that would've been perfect!

here's our chance to be the "Gonzaga of the East" when do the details for the Rowdies trip come out?!?!?

[zippyfan34]

I'm not finding any flights less than $575. That stinks, I wish we were the 14 seed going to Miami and getting a ticket for under $300 would be easy. I don't think I can swing over $1k for me and the Mrs. to make the trip to Oregon.

[ZippyTuba11]

We've been calling for this game for a few years now. Too bad it's in Portland. Still, I think Akron has a great chance and I think it will be a great game.

[UAZipster0305]

To become the Gonzaga of the East, we must first prove we can play with the Gonzaga of the West. I like the matchup, but not the location.

[WinZip]

Sigh...was willing to do a four-five hour drive but I'm not gonna be able to make this one

no not good. it is actually ironic for me. gonzaga, my mom's (who i can't stand) alma matter playing against my school an hour from my hometown. i'd make a bet with the woman, but that would require me to make contact with her.

[tpsjugglerdude]

Hmmm.....It's only about a 36-37 hour road trip...

Where'd you find 575?

You wennie. You can drive to Portland in 5 hours if you average 495 mph.

Fox Sports put a little capsule in for every team in the tournament:Here is the One for AkronThe picture is kind of funny, if you didn't know what the story of it is it looks like Brett McKnight is celebrating while the game is stil being hotly contested.

Haha yeah. Correct me if I'm wrong but that is from the Zips' last possession of the MACC when McNees was dribbling up court to finalize the win.
