So you are saying he will be like Marcus and as soon as the college career is over, he will revert back to previous school identity.

ZIPS96 Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Just saw Antino walk off the court in tears after another conference championship game loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI - They were picked to finish DEAD LAST in the Mountain West this year. They finished 3rd, and made it all the way to the tournament championship game. I'm sure he's quite happy that he got to be a part of such an incredible run to finish his career. So, I'd guess his emotion may have had a lot more to do with realizing that he had just played his last college basketball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I saw the box score and he led his team in points, had numerous assists and rebounds. Of the 3 guards that we lost, Antino was by far the best when it came down to tournament time. He was real competitor in the clutch. Even though he left I feel bad that he never got to play in the NCAA tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he was a SUPER nice kid. I wish him only the best in what he pursues in his life, and I thank him for the way he represented the UofA, and the exciting memories he gave us watching him on the court.

clarkwgriswold Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I did miss the kid this year. He always played hard and in the rare occasion I saw him off the court, he seemed like a nice respectful kid. I wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Didn't he have to sit out this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His transferring out really hurt our team. We could have had an electric, experienced veteran running the PG spot & it would have enabled Malcolm to play off the ball at a more natural 2G spot. That would have made a world of difference, IMHO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Having Antino might have added a few regular season wins, but at the end of the day we still wouldn't have had the depth nor talent at the bigs to compete this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If getting to the dance was indeed his goal, he certainly had a better chance of doing it where he ended up then he would have with the Zips in a transition year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akronzips71 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 One of the things that made it a transition year was Antino leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
