RootforRoo44 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Oakland 80, Can't State 74Creighton 73, BG 71Wichita State 84, Buffalo 73Zips vs Zags??? They lost to OAKLAND? Yikes! Oakland's got a pretty good basketball program. They have won 23 games i believe this year and would have been in the tournament instead of North Dakota State if some guy for NDS didnt hit a buzzer beater to beat them. Though it is pretty funny that their coach was playing it up as if the MAC is great and that they beat this good team. "We just beat the standard of the MAC," praised veteran Oakland coach Greg Kampe. "Can't State has won 20 games for 10 years in a row and I think only five or six teams have done that. Tonight was their chance to make it 11 in a row. They've been to the Elite Eight and they've been to numerous (NCAA tournaments). They've had coaches move on, one to Rutgers, one to Arkansas and one to TCU. So, don't minimize the importance of this game to Oakland University. This was not a bottom-feeder in the MAC."I also found it interesting that their home court is called "Athletics Center O'Rena". The O'Rena eh?They played a rough OoC schedule too. They barely lost to Cleveland State, Iowa, and Michigan. They beat Oregon and lost to Syracuse, Kansas State, and Michigan State. They also beat North Dakota State earlier in the year so it's not like they are some crap team. They played well with the big boys, I actually envy their out of conference schedule. The Zips should try playing a few more top level teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalrowdy Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 This is, unfortunately, a sign of the weakness that is the MAC this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Watcher Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Losing by only 2 at Creighton is a VERY respectable showing by BG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Losing by only 2 at Creighton is a VERY respectable showing by BG.Yes it was. One or two plays per game can be the difference between a two point loss or a two point win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
