infofan Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 The UA Zips were invited to 2010 WBI. As a #5 seed they will travel to #4 Wichita state for a 1st round game on thursday. Congrats to ladies but hard to believe GOZIPS.COM didnt feel it was worth posting!! Tom W- why does that happen?? Quote
GoZips88 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Great news - what a fantastic year for the Lady Zips. Good luck in Wichita! Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Awesome job Lady Zips! Go get 'em! Quote
GoZips Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Hate to sound like sour grapes .... however, its a bit stinky that the Ladies are relegated to this lower level tournament while Eastern Michigan is invited to the WNIT. Yes, yes, EMU has a better record than do the Ladies. However, the Lady Zips defeated EMU twice. First at EMU. and then a rather sound beating in the MAC tournament quarter finals. NCAA still snubbing Akron? Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Very cool. We have no room to complain about EMU getting into the WNIT. This is only the second time Akron has played in a post-season tournament in the history of the program. We'll take what we can get. It's good for the development of such an incredibly young team. Here's hoping they can pull off a win or two. Go Zips! Quote
Z.I.P. Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Very cool. We have no room to complain about EMU getting into the WNIT. This is only the second time Akron has played in a post-season tournament in the history of the program. We'll take what we can get. It's good for the development of such an incredibly young team. Here's hoping they can pull off a win or two. Go Zips! First of all, I'm a little surprised -- well, actually, more than a little surprised, and very glad for the team! Secondly, the reason for the surprise is that as I recall, we had a losing record in the OOC portion of the season, no wins over major teams (definitely none over top-50, maybe none over top-100). But, this season represents the turning of the corner for the program -- and I suspect we'll have Jody Kest back, as MAC COY for one more season at least. Thirdly (and I like that word, whether it IS one, or not!), I hope this season's performance will serve as an impetus to start upgrading the schedule (nothing familiar sounding in THAT suggestion, is there?), so that it will be easier to argue the team's abilities to WNIT committee in future years -- i.e., if we somehow don't kick BeeGee behind in future years to make the Big Dance.

infofan Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 1st 2nd final Akron (18-14) 37 24 61 Wichita State (18-14) 26 41 67 Great 1st half but they ran out of gas in 2nd half like the men. Still a great year. Once again no mention of this is made on gozips .com. Quote
