akronzips71 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 That last foul was just incredibly stupid. We would have had last possession with a chance to run a play. Just a stupid way to ruin a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 What a joke. You lose the most important game, the only game of the season that really matters...to a team you beat twice in the regular season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see it happening I felt the same as you when we went 26-7 (13-3) in 2006-07 losing to Miami of Ohio on a buzzer beater in the MAC Championship and in the end we didn't even get an NIT invite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipgrad01 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Kwan blows. He can pack it up and head out as far as I am concerned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre22era Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Matt BarnesVerified account @Matt_NBC4 1 minute ago Akron gets automatic NIT bid. NIT probably not going to give two NIT bids to the MAC. So expect Ohio to head to the CBI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo Zip Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Kwan's shot selection from beyond the arc was horrible. The two missed bunnies are even worse. And he gave up the last wide open shot for buffalo. I'm having a tough time liking him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRulz Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Kwan should be able to drive the lane and pick up fouls rather than taking bad outside shots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy_ua_00 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I am PISSED!!! This loss is not even close to being acceptable. We lost to a team that is gonna be a 14 or 15 seed and get smoked in the ncaa. I am so sick of losing games like this on 3 pointers. As soon as we fouled i knew we were losing by a 3 pointer.

bUAkronG Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 This loss was a team effort. Give Kwan a break. Let's not forget that his defensive resurgence is the reason why we had such a successful season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre22era Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hayden Grove @H_Grove Akron coach Keith Dambrot: "We have a 28 RPI. The numbers don't lie, do they?... We're not going to get in the NCAA Tournament." Dambrot: "If Cincinnati or Tulsa had a 28 RPI, they'd get in. All skewed for the big boys." Keith Dambrot: "We were one play away from winning the game. They had to make two bombs to beat us." Said off. rebound and foul beat them.

clarkwgriswold Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudddddddddddddgggge. Can we please just just once get our a$$e$ on someone when the ball goes up. I realize that without Pat we're undersized, but damn, we could box out. Oh, and I hate that I was right on Kwan. Here we come NIT. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudddddddddddddgggge.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Dambrot should be stripped of his COY award for three things: 1) Subbing Kwan in for McAdams at the end of the game. I like Kwan's skill set but McAdams would have been the better choice to play D. 2) KD went back to the old offense with no movement, instead of sticking with Z Ball or whatever the new offense is called. 3) That play with 2 seconds left was the worst possible idea of all time. He must've watched the Valpo game. Dumb dumb dumb. The NIT gives our seniors one last horah and our young guys a chance to grow, but this one stings because we had plenty of opportunities to win the stupid thing. Our guys looked tight all tournament. The shots weren't fluid. Not a recipe for success. Go Zips and Can't State still sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akronzips71 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 So not only should that last foul never have happened, but we still had one to give. Do it before that 3 point attempt, clock probably runs out and we go to OT. Just dumb plays in the last 15 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smacktalkinZip Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 REBOUNDS REBOUNDS REBOUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bulls had a 39-26 advantage and even more telling 11-3 offensive rebound advantage. Constantly let Bulls get inside position - when a shot went up, they had 1-2 guys crashing down the lane to get rebounds. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!! We win this game by double digits if rebounds are anywhere close. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomzip Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 So guys, I take full credit for the loss. Not only did I have my Zips car flag on for the game as I traveled up there (no wins ever for the flag to include 2 football losses and 3 Mac Tourney Championships) but I am a big o-for in the championship when I attend in person, at home on the tube, undefeated. So with that, I must kill myself to save Zips Nation...by the way, the flag is laying in some parking lot in Cleveland, may it rot in hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akron on the other hand is a Prayer from be a Tuesday Afternoon in Dayton. I just do not see that happening.....
