1981 grad Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 I do not think that Youngstown is kicking in $275,000. We gave his his first division one head coaching gig. He owes us a game!! Quote

kreed5120 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 I'm not exactly sure how YSU got the game. I did notice the game was actually played at the Covelo Centre instead of YSU home court. If the HoF village ever gets around to building that arena they were talking about, I wonder if we could ever get someone to agree to play us there since it's a "neutral court". Quote

Best part of game was seeing Boals in a tailor-made green suit. PCCC v NC AT: Flushes woke up in OT against a bad team EMU: I wonder if the team isn't better without that head case (James Thompson, III) on the team. Beat Northeastern at home. Toledo had a bad loss to the UMKC Kangaroos. Would be cool for the Zips to schedule another Marsupial. Zips have an opportunity to separate themselves going into MAC play with two wins this week A perfect holiday basketball mini-tournament would include the Zips, UMKC, Austin College and any other team willing to change their mascot to a kangaroo. In addition, Austin college (D-III) would be a great way to get a W for the football team and help achieve the coolness you mentioned. Quote
AkronAlumnus Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 According to KenPom, the Zips are the highest rated Mac team entering conference play. 2 Quote

WMU 274 UoA 100 I'll take It's All Relative for 500, Alex. You can simply tell watching this team this season that they will be competing in the upper echelon of the MAC this year. They have the talent and depth to overcome their road-game shortcomings of years past, which has single handily torpedoed their seasons. The MAC is wide open for the first time in I don't know how many years, and we'll be right in the thick of things come March. _____________________________________________________________________ Since this is a catch-all thread, here are the opening weekend matchups for the MAC. FRIDAY Toledo @ Balls 61-57 PCCC @ BUGS 79-61 SATURDAY Akron @ EMU 69-45 NIU @ Canada 73-72 Sweaters (OH) @ CMU 93-82 Bobkittens @ Inebriated Horses 77-65 Edited January 5, 2020 by Let'sGoZips94 1 Quote
NWAkron Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I think that's a 21-1 run for Ball State on Toledo. Those two games were a bore. Toledo and BG looked awful. And if PCCC is the team to beat, this will be an ugly few months. Edited January 4, 2020 by NWAkron Quote
NWAkron Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) NIU player got called for a T jfor taunting just like Banks did in UMass game. NIU is Canada's kryptonite. Edited January 4, 2020 by NWAkron Quote

Going to see Toledo and PCCC Tuesday, great seats and free of charge from my golf buddy. I am justifying this by calling it a scouting trip. 1 Quote
