I got lower bowl tickets (section 108) for $45 after fees (regular $54 plus fees). It supposedly comes with a $5 concession voucher - not sure how that will work. https://www.travelzoo.com/entertainment/chicago-midwest/-13-Men-s-2019-MAC-Basketball-Tournament-incl-Championship-2716273/?IsPresentationMode=1&utm_source=localdeal_us&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2731039_html_-_deal%3a2731039&utm_content=2731039&ec=0&dlinkId=2731039 2 Quote
NWAkron Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) NWAkron's keys to the game: Big upsets require a high shooting % by the underdog. UMBC shot over 50% when they beat #1 Virginia last year. Also, free throws. Zips have to make almost all of theirs and limit Bulls trips to the line. In the game at Akron, UB had a lot more trips to the line than Akron even before the garbage final minutes. Transition: Buffalo will grab the missed 3s and do quick damage. Here in lies the big problem. LCJ and Daniel will have the green light to shoot the 3. If they start off cold, Buffalo will build a big lead quickly. If those two start off hot, then there's a chance. Edited March 14, 2019 by NWAkron 1 Quote

I'm going to try and sneak away to catch this one, and I'll probably be using a lotto ticket to get bogo $20 end section seats. Quote

And let me add the obvious, if the 3s aren't falling, Akron will play harder on defense and when they do that they hit the wall during those final few minutes. Edited March 14, 2019 by NWAkron Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 We'll know in the first couple minutes how this game will be. If we don't come out and punch them in the mouth (metaphorically), I don't like our chances. We have to establish the energy level, tempo, intensity, etc. Quote

Blue & Gold Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Is this game on CBSSports Network? Quote

Spin Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 I see the MAC brought the best officials... Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Big call by the refs. Thank you for looking at the monitor. Quote

NWAkron Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Posted March 14, 2019 Torturous to watch here at Q. Nothing working Quote
kreed5120 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 These officials suck. We're going to witness a FT contest. Quote
Spin Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Buff 10-6 with 14 left in the first half Quote

On a serious note, I'd do my best to limit Perkins and Massinburg while forcing Jeremy Harris to be the player to beat us. Harris takes 12.5 shots per game while only shooting .402 from the field and .268 from 3. Lets try to force him to take 16-17 shots. If he goes off so be it. At least we played the averages. Did Jeremy creep on this board, see your post, and take it as a challenge? Quote
NWAkron Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Posted March 14, 2019 Ok. Zips going to Plan B grind it out work the shot clock down. Hanging on by gossamer threads at this point Quote
Spin Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Shooting a combined 1 for 13 from the field is not going to do much against Buffalo... Quote
