zipsbandman Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Well, the dance is near. Looks like its Western on the agenda tomorrow. Some thoughts concerning this matchup:It looks to be a good draw for us when looking at all the other matchups. Some of the things working to our advantage is the fact that we already beat them twice. Will a third time be a charm? Also, you got to figure that the crowd will be for Akron since we got the advantage of being closest to Cleveland. I think this is a game we can and should win, but I am hoping we are not looking past them to the semi's. That is the number one way of being an upset victim in tournament situation. Also, we have to remember they are well coached. Western is a good program in a dormant year.I want some payback tomorrow. Funny how the game is the same time as our last meeting with them in the Q.

GoZips88 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 The board has been very quiet today. I think everyone is just ready to get it on tomorrow at 2. Not much more that can be said until we see how things shake out tomorrow. Wish I could stay for the evening games but life happens. Oh yeah, just checked and is still true... Quote
UADavid Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 The time of the game hurts us as many people that might have gone will be at work. I'm not expecting a big turnout. Quote
zen Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 When is the tipoff, and can you walk up to the Q and buy tix at the box office? Quote
zipsbandman Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Posted March 8, 2006 I remember last year the nation having a pretty good turnout considering the time. I'd say about 5k showed up. If we can make the semi's, I think we get a massive turnout. Quote
UADavid Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 2:00 Not sure about purchasing there but it won't sell out. I would imagine there is a walk up window. Quote
Quickzips Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Only thing I really worry about is if we are looking past this team. Quote
UADavid Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Only thing I really worry about is if we are looking past this team.I'd like to think that this team is too mature for that to happen, but after the Buffalo game last week , all bets are off. Quote
zipsbandman Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Posted March 8, 2006 http://www.miamihawktalk.com/discussion/vi...pic.php?t=28006Apparently, they are pretty confident about this one. They being Western.We better be ready Quote
Bleacher Bum Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 No offense, but I'd hope they're saying they're gonna beat Akron. I'd feel real bad for anyone who goes into a game, especially one that could potentially be the last game of the season saying, "Well, we're gonna get rocked tomorrow. But it was a good run." Also, of course Miami wants WMU to win. It will be an easier game for them in the finals. Quote
