RootforRoo44 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 There was no video of any kind for the game. Miami's AD is against it! Even their website kind of sucks...they are really behind the times, they make us look advanced. Or more like they are in the mid 90's, we are in the late 90's haha Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 There was no video of any kind for the game. Miami's AD is against it! Miami's home basketball crowds are only slightly larger than EMU's home football crowds. Seems like the Miami AD is against fans in general? Quote

Happened to catch a little of the game on the car radio last night. With the score tied at 61 and under two minutes to go, there was essentially NO crowd noise. I had to be reminded by the silly F.L.A.S.H. announcer where the game was being played. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 The way Millet Hall is designed, you could have a sellout crowd of angry drunks and not hear a peep of it on the court. The seats are ridiculously far away from the action. You actually get a closer look at the game by watching on TV. Quote
skip-zip Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 I'll be happy with the 3rd seed overall. Always ends up with the easiest path to the final. Beating the west champ (seed 2) is usually easier than beating seed 4. I agree with you about the #3 spot. The problem is, Miami has that spot, and they won last night. So, we now have to make up 3 games on them (or 2 and the tiebreaker) with only 4 games to go. And as of right now, they own the tiebreaker against us. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 If you look at it, the #7 seed may be the easiest path to the championship game. A bye couldn't hurt, though. And of course WMU may muck everything up if they somehow get the #1 seed (If Can't and miami lose a few more each and WMU beats Can't then it is possible). Quote
Dave in Green Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 As previously discussed, Can't beating Miami last night rather than vice versa would have improved the Zips odds of earning the #3 seed. Miami beating Can't resulted in only a slightly improved chance of the Zips earning the #1 seed, which would require many more favorable things happening over the next couple of weeks than would have been required for the Zips to earn the #3 seed if Miami had lost. The Zips still have a shot at the #3 seed, but the odds are reduced after last night's results. But, since we don't have any control over game results, it really doesn't matter what we wished for last night. Quote
