akzipper Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I've disliked Houston ever since Mack Rhoades left Akron to be their AD. So it does feel good to beat them. Even NIT wins will get people's attention and help recruiting. Hopefully things fall into place and they can get some more. Still sucks that every bracket I fill out feels like a punch in the gut.

Not where we want to be, but still a step forward IMO. I am a complete butthead, doubting their resolve and see thrm come through. A step forward indeed for them, and maybe I'll learn to be less doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 That was fun. Good for the kids and KD to rebound from a painful loss. Let's go win another one. This could be fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyolcrowe Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Nice win! This team stepped up and met the challenge and took the first step toward something greater! 27!!!!???? nice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Correct me if I am wrong, but a home game is still possible since Bakersfield won. If Bakersfield wins as an 8 seed and we win as a 7 seed then we get a home game. Now that would be nice! A home game to get to Madison Square Garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only way we can get a home game is if the #8 Seed in our bracket wins their 2nd round game. I'm just glad the season isn't over!!

zippy5 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm glad we can see Dog and Kwan play at least one more game. I'm hoping Kwan has a huge game soon so he doesn't go out with a bad taste in his mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked like we were going to give it away for a while. Well, we were down 65-59 with 5:51 left. Then went on a little 19-10 run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I don't think you're going to notice much of a difference in quality between any of these NIT opponents and Akron, regardless of the Seeding. Akron's RPI - 58 Houston - 54 Potential 2nd Round Opponent BYU - 65 Potential 2nd Round Opponent UT-Arlington - 45 We're all pretty much the same. You just have to want to win the games.

Hope the 2nd round will be played with effort for 40 minutes. We started to pick it up after we saw the game and W in reach tonight. Glad to see we had something left.

Valpo Zip Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 This was a great win. Congratulations to the whole team. This should be a big help with the recruitment of the Houston area in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
