The Hip Zip Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 You guys battled hard all season long. Given up for dead half way through the season, you guys toughed it out to the end. We played a very good defensive game today, just could not get anything to drop in the 2nd half despite getting many good looks. It happens. Good bye Seniors and Nik. I'll have fond memories of you guys always. Best of luck moving forward. Quote

phil Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 I went to a dozen games this year and I am going to miss this group playing together. A class coach who recruits great kids. The Mac tournament was great to watch. Each game a different player stepping up and keeping Akron on top. I hope Nik stays one more year. He has really matured on the court and has improved his game. Good luck to the seniors. They gave us a great year! Quote
zippy5 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Gonna miss these guys. Gave a great effort, but the shots just didn't drop. I will say, the way Zeke has developed, if we make it to the tourney in the next two years, we will win a game. Please Nik, stay! You could dominate the MAC next year. Quote
Akron1 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I have enjoyed these seniors. A tribute to Coach Dambrot and the type of men he goes after. The next wave also looks very promising. Thanks to another great group of seniors for all of the fun basketball! Hope to see everyone soon at a well deserved celebration. Quote
skip-zip Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 It's always a lot easier for me to comment on a "goodbye" thread when I have had some time to get over teh sting of the loss. But, I'll try. This was a group of guys who mostly came in here at the tail end of the Dru/Romeo era. They would be the next group to lead this program, and they gave us several more 20+ win seasons and continued the run. Can't complain about that. Some of their academic exploits are pretty impressive as well. Solid people and great representatives of the U of A. We couldn't have asked for much more. Quote
