Captain Kangaroo Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 George uncovers MAJOR defensive improvement stats: "Over the past three games, the Zips have improved their defensive field-goal percentage to 43 percent from more than 44 percent before." 1 Quote
zippy5 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Wow! GT with the hard hitting facts before the big game. Quote

BIG if true. Quote
K92 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 NWAkron, you're right. It never gets old. Quote
skip-zip Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 That video reminds me of the way Akron/Kent games USED to be. I'll take an intense, chippy game. It's very entertaining for the fans, and will teach some of our guys that we have to match Kent physically in games like this. Quote
Jalapeño Zippy Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 I love seeing Mr. McKnight in the video, that man was an amazing individual. Dan Peters is in there, another wonderful person. What wonderful memories. Let's get after it tonight! Go Zips! Quote

Oh, don't mistake what I said for thinking that I want another close game. That 2011 overtime title game almost sent me to the Cardiac Unit at Akron General. Quote
kreed5120 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 I'll take a win. Doesn't matter to me if it's by 1 or 20. Quote
skip-zip Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Here's a great clip from the 2012 home Akron/Kent game. I want this kind of NOISE in the JAR tonight. And I want to see more emotional leaders come to forefront, like Brian Walsh does in these clips. Quote
skip-zip Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 This is a classic. How about Singletary punching Linhart? This will get you all ready for the game !! 1 Quote

johnnyzip84 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Zips are 9 point favorites. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Even Kent fans realize the RPI is worthless. Speaks volumes... Quote
LZIp Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Over 300 early bid student tickets sold. Have to say that is more than I would have guessed. Quote

I really wish the person who uploaded this would've caught how choppy it was and re-uploaded it. Such a phenomenal ending. One of the top 10 great NCAA Men's College Basketball Conference Tournament Finals ever, I'd say (although I am bias...). Quote

Apologies for my former self (I shamefully admit that I am the uploader of the video). I captured the video using a window capture while streaming the game in Firefox. I think in my excitement about the results I didn't care much about quality as I did getting the memory uploaded as quickly as possible. In hindsight, it kills me to see that I dropped the ball on the quality of all of the videos I uploaded. I attended that game live, though. Such a great memory. Funny to see the familiar faces and realize how long ago that was. Quote
NWAkron Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Just happy to have the video. It keeps on giving. The crazy Kent woman praying, the crying Kent cheerleader, the Kent player on the floor, Darryl Roberts and his mom. One of the greatest nights or McKnights. (Don't forget Brett's clutxh free throws for us to overtime...I think). Geno and Kent had a great run in the NIT that year. Then he dumped his players and is now an asst coach in Long Island. Karma.

I can absolutely relate to the elation that was felt by all of us that night. I very much appreciate you uploading it in the first place. It was a blast to watch live, and is a true enjoyment to watch and reminisce about that night. Quote

Phil was a treasure, and a really funny guy. I will never forget when we sat by the McKnights up at Bowling Green. Phil engaged and enraged the entire BG faithful with his views on the officials which evolved into a cross court shouting match. " Integrity of the game" 1 Quote
zippyfan34 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 I wonder if Lebron's family obligation will be over by 7:00 so he can watch the Zips? Quote
