I actually might agree with this IF we have to go on the road for the NIT First Round. We should make some noise in the media if they won't give us respect for the noise we made on the court.

zipinnc Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) 7 PAC-12 teams is a joke. They will not win more than 3 games in the first round. Edited March 13, 2016 by zipinnc typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would just tell them to get someone else. Too insulting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if this is the case go on the road and beat the Blue Jays if you want respect. Talk of leaving the MAC for what? How about the MVC which can get multiple teams in, lets see if Akron can win there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Monmouth was OUT because of the 3 losses to teams over 200 in RPI, according to the selection committee. That's a note for the future, because we spent so much time talking about them here. Edited March 13, 2016 by skip-zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre22era Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Why continue to play in a conference when the leadership fails time after time to defend their own? MAC Commish has no backbone and until they get someone in leadership with balls nothing will change. Its a joke that in 2016 we are basically getting the HBCU Conference treatment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpsjugglerdude Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I hope this serves as a wake up call to Coach Dambrot to start actually scheduling better teams OOC. Yes, I know we had a great RPI, but we had no top 50 wins and only 1 top 50 team on the schedule. Clearly top 50 wins trump RPI. Fix it.

Actually, I heard a lot of them mention Top 100 wins as a measurable. Obviously Top 50 wins trump that, but one of the anaylysts mentioned Top 100 wins (or lack thereof) when arguing against the selection of Michigan.

Maybe we can just play in tournaments for our entire OOC schedule. Only way they'll play us. Why would a team schedule Akron as a payday game when they can get less threatening teams for less money?

Unless we go about 30-3 it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Sam Amico @AmicoHoops 6m6 minutes ago Sure wish one-bid leagues would end conference tourneys.

Doing it on their own? It is a 20-Loss Season if they do a Miami-Like Gauntlet Schedule.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything Akron is the one running away by not accepting guarantee games. You have to earn other programs respect before they will agree to come to your place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
