Ninetieth best team; no way top twenty-five; sweet sixteen; GoZips is full of ........Maybe we need to play all our road games in Mississippi in front of Quincy's family.
A couple more like this and the Vegas lines will change....If EVER there was a Zips team with a shot for some wins in the Madness, this is the one. We have more athletes than we know what to do with.

Congratulations Zips fans! I have no qualms about saying that this was the best Akron team I've seen since our two teams have been playing each other. Easily. You have a very nice stable of athletes and the execution tonight was 2nd to none. I am certain now more than ever that keeping it close with you guys at your place will be nothing short of a significant victory for our squad. I am very impressed with what I saw and I think you guys have a very good shot at making some serious noise this year. Zeke has really come along from the soft, tentative kid I saw as a freshman. At times he looked like he owned the post and he definitely showed the aggressiveness and mean streak that most great post players need to have. Again congratulations, that was a heck of an impressive win.

REeally hate the title of this thread, but really loved the game. This was a pretty impressive victory. I sure hope Miss State is as good as you all think so because they didn't look like it last night. My expectations are for this team to be undefeated heading to WVU.
Big Zip, are you claiming that Mississippi State is over rated?

ESPN had a short report on the game during the Miami/Temple game halftime.PREDICTIONGiven the relative lack of sporting activity tonight, I think there is a good chance a play from the game will make ESPNs top ten plays on Thursday.
Good call. I don't watch much SportsCenter anymore, but I'll have to be sure to check it out tomorrow a.m.

I agree with the poster who said Mississippi State didn't look like a great team to be honest as an unbiased viewer. Even considering that though, I really like the makeup of your squad. MSU is very one-dimensional outside of Dee Bost although Rodney Hood showed some nice flashes as a freshman. Renardo Sidney looked pretty out-of-shape and the reports about him being a recruiting blunder with lots of talent but a staggering lack of work ethic was very apparent tonight. I figured when they beat EKU by 10 that they were a bit over-hyped, but you guys REALLY exposed them today. All that aside, you guys still did what a good team is supposed to do, you put them away and there was never any doubt who the superior team was. Mississippi State's mediocrity in no way mitigates what was an extremely impressive performance from Akron. Forget the major, mid-major classifications here. There were just 2 basketball teams competing here period, and Akron was easily the better one. Zeke was the best big man in the game and Quincy Diggs was probably the most impressive perimeter player. Forget the preseason rankings, the better team one this game and it wasn't even really up for dispute from what I saw. Congrats once again. The MAC has officially been put on notice.

It will be the Zeke slap away that was shown at the end of the game.He is probably going to break onto the national scene very soon.He just makes those blocks look sooo easy.

I would take that blunder any day of the week. The guy is a freaking monster.

No doubt for most mids he's a game changer. Given his accolades and hype coming out of high school though, he's been a massive disappointment. He's got all the natural talent in the world. Has to be infuriating for their fans. Time to up expectations in Akron folks, this team is very legitimate in the national conversation. Mama Marshall, your boy looked like A MAN out there tonight! You should be very proud.

I think shutting down Moultrie was far bigger than Reggie Sydney.Bost's two early fouls hampered him all night.Anyone who thinks Mississippi State is over rated has a screw loose.The Dawgs got beat by a better team that was better focused andbetter prepared. Akron spent two weeks of drills working on shuttingdown MSU's favorite attacks. (note: I could not post this before the game lest they get wind of it.)Depth, depth, depth ... and Demetrius Treadwell played his butt off.He is the tenth man in the rotation.We are the 90th best team in the NCAA div-1 ... a lot of you believe this.
