Quickzips Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ohio fans are such egotistical lunatics. One of their fans is over on MACbbs running his mouth that the Bobcats will get a higher seed than the Zips would if they win and that Akron is an undeserving champion. This despite Akron having a similar record overall, a better conference record, a better RPI and a MUCH better SOS. His theory is that Marshall, Louisville and Lamar are helping the Bobcats look better in the eyes of the committee. He conveniently ignores the fact that the Zips put up every bit as impressive a win over Marshall as the Bobcats did. Plus we beat Detroit who has already punched their ticket out of the Horizon. Throw in a win over Miss. State and I don't see how OU would get a better seed than we would. At best either team is looking at probably a 13 seed. I wanted to win before reading this crap. I want to pound D.J. Cooper and his porn star tats into the Q hardwood after reading it. New prediction: Zips 81 OU 52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUAkronG Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 ESAD troll I literally laughed out loud, thanks. OU traveled well last night, but there is no way in hell they will outnumber Zips fans tonight. Expect a raucous crowd from the start. Look for OU to come out and try to establish the three ball early. Zips defenders need to get out in the face of shooters, namely Cooper, since he is an emotional guy and it fuels his play. Make him miss shots and it'll start getting his head. Good defense will lead to good offense and like last nights game the Zips will jump out on top early and maintain the lead throughout. Bobcats will make it interesting at the end, as we never seem to concretely close out games, but the Zips pull it out with a couple of late free throws.

Class of 82 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'll say Zips over Ohio 76-68. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Really? Has Akron ever sold out their allotment of tix before last night? I thought we had a great showing, at least compared to Can't. It was BETTER than that, actually. We sold out our allotment, and had to get another several hundred tickets on top of that to meet the demand. But, I'm sure that was nothing compared to the great OU fans, who certainly must have numbered about 200 strong last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Zips go 9 deep. OU is playing their 3rd consecutive game, and it's against a really good, fresh, motivated team. Akron 77 OU 71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 No way does OU shoot the ball well against us tonight. We've been playing a really complete game lately. OU has an extra game on their legs, along with a height disadvantage. I think we will really take it to them. Look for Treadwell and Harney to have big games. Zeke is going to OWN the paint. Gilliam is playing his best basketball this year right now in my opinion. I really don't see how OU can beat us unless they shoot 40-50% beyond the arc and we shoot about 30% with 20 turnovers.

OZoner Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I really don't get the 200 fans comments. Ohio fans filled four sections last night. Like 2010, it should be a great atmosphere and a lot of fun. Hoping for 10k overall tonight. Don't think fatigue will be too much of a factor. Cooper's legs are made of iron. Buffalo fans had giant posters of that bikini photo a couple weeks ago when OU when up there. Pretty funny. But if Ohio's forwards get into foul trouble again, Akron will take better advantage of it than Buffalo did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zip Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I feel like nobody remembers the beat down OU gave Akron like two weeks ago? I hope our guys decide to guard four feet off the three point line tonight. I will be there screaming for the Zips but my faith in the Zips based on what I saw at OU is low.

OU 69-Zips68 I remember that like it was yesterday, sadly. But I think you're forgetting this is the same Ohio team that lost to Toledo. They are such a streaky team.

Z.I.P. Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Here's a prediction from the middle of the Pacific. This will NOT be a defensive contest. One of the teams will make it to 75, the other will not. We have to take good shots, and force OU deep on the shot clock.. And with all due respect, KD, please put a leash on Nitro! Go Zips!
