The Hip Zip Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 It still hurts to be getting less respect than schools like Belmont ..... Duke 77, Belmont 76 Duke avoids upset loss It's easy to have tunnel vision when just keeping track of the local teams. There is more parody in college hoops than ever IMO. With only so many scholarships to give many quality kids slip through the cracks for what ever reason. The Belmont score was not a major surprise for many that follow the game closely.

Other MAC teams and opponents on this list: 5. Cleveland State 8. Can't State 17. Middle Tennessee 20. VCU 21. Valparaiso 25. Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Guess we gotta beat BG and OU to make some headway? Interesting that Marshall is nowhere to be found. Update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Guess we gotta beat BG and OU to make some headway? Interesting that Marshall is nowhere to be found. Update I wondered about that, but I'm pretty sure C-USA isn't included in the poll. You're right. I think we only got 1 extra vote over last week.

johnnyzip84 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 While not the mid-major top 25, THIS is an ESPN blogger's mid-major top 15. There are some additional mentions about the Zips throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Zip Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Still in 27th place with 30 votes, OU 16th and Can't State 22nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Still in 27th place with 30 votes, OU 16th and Can't State 22nd. Yah, that makes perfect sense. Rank teams we beat ahead of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 There are only two coaches in the MAC that vote, from WMU and CMU. And in their minds, OU and Can't are still the bigger threats because they've been focused on their own division. But now's our chance to blow them out by bigger margins than OU and Can't. We can not show these two teams any mercy if we want to get ahead in this poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zip Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Not because I care about these rankings, but because I think this team needs to make some statements....I would love to seem them absolutely blow out every team from the West.
