skip-zip Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hamilton's last second shot last year gives me just as many nightmares as Penno's shot 10 years ago. I'm looking forward to this one. I haven't been told anything about ticket sales. But with the weak crowd for an OU game, I'm thinking that it might still just be a bit too early in conference play to see a sellout. The idea that the race is a runaway right now, instead of a match-up between two giants of the conference may not help either. I'll hope for the best. If this win streak gets to about 15, I think a significant number of outsiders might get on the bandwagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 With this being our first Saturday home game since Marshall on December 17th I feel we will draw a number of people that can't make it to the JAR on Tuesdays nor Fridays. I say we clear 4,000 but fall short of 4,500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this game were a month from now, and it mattered in the conference race, then we could possibly approach a sellout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Buffalo used to travel well with lots of students. Not sure if that is still the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I am going to be the contrarian and take the under (4,000). I think the fans showed up for OU because of the long term in state rivalry and for EMU because of their record. We might get 4,000 of the Beacon jumps onboard for a couple of days, but I don't see it happening. I still don't enjoy the Buffalo games nearly as much without Bobby Hurley on their bench. I went home hoarse from those games from screaming at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyYo Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I think you will see more general public fans on Saturday compared to the last couple games but less students because it's a weekend. So it will probably almost balance out. I'll say 3700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Beacon: Unbeaten in the MAC, Zips hope to keep momentum against burgeoning rival Buffalo. GT puts it well: Heated competition helps to build rivalries. If that competition comes in do-or-die situations, emotions and intensity only multiply. Say hello to the University of Akron’s newest top basketball rival — the Buffalo Bulls. This is a great article! There are three or four different conversations one could start from this article alone. Thanks, GT!!

clarkwgriswold Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm feeling a big night for Jimond. I see Buffalo fronting Big Dog and bringing backside help when the Zips try to throw it over the front, leaving Ivey open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 It would be nice to see Hughes get out on the court again. Need to work him back into the rotation as soon as he's recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the way they want to play us, it actually opens up the entire floor. I'd love to see it !! But if I were Buffalo, I wouldn't advise it. They have the personnel to play him straight up. If they choose to double at times, they probably do it only when he puts the ball on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipfan84 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 As a prelude, watching the CMU/Kan't game. Early in the 2nd half the CBS announcers were talking up Big Dog, Kwan, & rest of Zips. GOTTA LOVE IT! Go Zips! Take it to the Bulls tonight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
