X got robbed of POY Posted May 16, 2023 Report Posted May 16, 2023 There was poor attendance turnout at the barstool event. Horrible planned scheduling as Villanova was playing Temple down the street. Quote

Of course OSU fans aren't the biggest fans of Holtmann right now and they'd likely be the largest group, so that might hurt some. Idk how big of a following OSU basketball really has in this area. All the t-shirt OSU fans I've seen, who turn into football games every Saturday, rarely, to never, watch or follow OSU basketball outside of March Madness. Some of them are even North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky fans when it comes to college hoops, typical bandwagoners. I'm sure if OSU was performing like the early Thad days more would jump on the bandwagon. I just don't think college hoops is all that big in northeast Ohio. 1 Quote

A bunch of Xavier fans would probably make the trip to Cleveland. A Boatload of Dayton fans would show up. Quote

LoyalZIP Posted June 21, 2023 Report Posted June 21, 2023 Zips were going to be in a Cancun event with Vanderbilt and Oregon State, but it fell through once bodies began washing up on the shores there. They had to get a waiver to return to Cayman. Solid mid major field. Quote

Somebody call the Cartel and tell them to spare us with empathy for this downgrade. Their terrorizing of Cancun is very new and should in no way have been known to Vandy & Oregon State prior to agreeing to play in the tourney originally. Also, did they leave that graphic in the Cancun sun? The fade looks awful. Jokes aside, that is a very solid mid major field. 2 hours ago, Jkobe03 said: Sun Belt/Mac challenge part 1 matchups Are there 2 games against the Sun Belt this year? If so, I wonder where our destination will be. We got the cream of the crop for the game at the JAR. USM beat Vandy at Vandy and Liberty at Liberty last year. We just need to avoid any Brett Favre slander. Edited June 21, 2023 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted June 21, 2023 Report Posted June 21, 2023 The bracket for Cancun was just posted on Twitter. Akron/FIU face Utah State/Marshall. Best possible scenario IMO. Quote
