Zipmeister Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 According to NCAA Bracketology - 2024 March Madness men's field predictions (espn.com) Joe L. has the Zips as a 13 seed playing Auburn in the first round in Detroit. Short trip - good. Opponent -tough but could be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 None of this will be possible unless Groce finds a "serviceable Big" before March. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 When you're below the bubble line, it's silly to look at bracketology this early. So much of where Akron would be seeded, assuming they even win in Cleveland, would depend on how other conference tournaments play out. There is no way of accurately predicting things in February, let alone January. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way of accurately predicting things in February, let alone January. The only thing I really look at much is what seed they list us at. I do agree so much will happen between now and then and it's probably silly to pay too much attention, but it's an interesting snapshot of where their projection system sees us as things currently stand.

Based on past experience and limiting the possibilities to those you listed, it is my considered opinion that the selection committee would select Spokane for the Zips. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'd send us out of the country if they could 😂 1 hour ago, zippy5 said: as someone with tickets to all sessions in PGH, hell yeah brother I've never been to a Zips NCAA Tournament game and am hoping for somewhere reasonably close. Pittsburgh would be a dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsrule Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 The latest Bracketology has 13 seed Akron playing 4 seed Auburn....in SPOKANE. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 It's already been decided, 16th ranked Auburn is unimpressive. I'm hoping for the day when the Zips can be just as unimpressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
