BG played great defense in the 2nd half and used that to turn an 8 point half-time deficit into an 11 point lead with 3 minutes left. Buffalo stormed back and actually missed a 3 that would have tied it near the end. Quote

Not sure if they deserve it/I see it happening with 2 MAC losses. They still might be. They only dropped 4 spots when they lost to NIU and BGSU is better than NIU. It really just depends on how the other teams in the 20-30 range do. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 Boom! Step back 3 by Balls to send the game to OT vs. Can't State? James Harden step back, I should specify. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 James Whitford (Balls' coach) should be relieved of his duties after this fiasco. He should not be allowed to coach another game this season. That was an embarrassing choke job, and Can't tried to lose the game. Quote

Gotta admit though, that was one of the more unique ways to win a ballgame by KSU. Even made #1 on Sportscenter's Top Plays. Quote

kreed5120 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) The Ball State player traveled when he hit the 3-pointer to force OT. It all evened out. Edited February 4, 2019 by kreed5120 Quote

LZIp Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Buffalo stays ranked at #23. Let's hope they can manage not losing until we face them. Would love the chance to knock off a ranked team at the JAR, especially Buffalo! 1 Quote
kreed5120 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 What I find great is NC State lost so badly to #11 VA Tech that they went from being ranked to not even receiving a single vote. I'm not surprised to see Buffalo still ranked. As I mentioned previously, their loss to NIU dropped them only 4 spots. They would have needed to fall 8 spots, if I remember their ranking last week correctly, to slide out of the top 25 and BG is better than NIU. Buffalo doesn't have a game until Saturday so as long as they beat CMU @ home, which I strongly feel they will, they will be ranked when they come to Akron. Quote

I'll take beating a ranked team at home (have we ever beaten a ranked team in history??) vs being a 2 seed instead of a 1 anyways. Not that I think we'll realistically be a 1 or 2 seed, but seeding seems to be the reasoning in your post. Quote
kreed5120 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) I'm actually with @zippy5 on this. Akron hangs banners for regular season championships, not 2nd or 3rd place finishes. Winning a regular season title also guarantees us nothing worse than a NIT postseason appearance. Edited February 4, 2019 by kreed5120 Quote

Groce is not a regular season type of guy. I simply want the bottom 4 to separate themselves so we have a home game.or straight to the Q. Zips have the roughest schedule ahead playing all of best teams (Toledo, Buffalo, PCCC, and BG) and three of them twice. Quote

We have 3 tough games coming up @Toledo, vs. Kent, and vs. Buffalo. If we go 1-2 or worse during that stretch, I'll probably adopt this philosophy. If we go 2-1 or better, I'm going to continue holding out hope that we can win the MAC. 1 Quote

zipsrule Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 Kent down by 1 with 24.9 seconds left against Miami. Quote
zipsrule Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 Miami managed to give the game away. Per the broadcast, Kent is 8-0 in games decided by 5 points or less. Let's hope for an Akron blowout on Friday. Quote
NWAkron Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 I know this isn't how the team and coaches look at it but BG, Buffalo, PCCC, and Toledo look like the top 4 seeds. As a fan I'm looking at grabbing one of the 5-8 seeds. NIU needs to get their act together at home tonight Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 Looking at the MAC stats today. The Zips top rebounder (Ivey) is 15th in the MAC. Top scorer (Utomi) is 19th. 1 Quote
