MDZip Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 Guessing a 14 seed. 13 if we get really lucky. Quote
kreed5120 Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 Yes, 14 seed would be my guess. I saw some projections that had Akron playing Kentucky in Pittsburgh. As fans, that's probably the best we could realistically hope for. 1 Quote
ZipsFan31 Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 I am so happy for these boys… it’s time to play free with house money… so long have they been the hunted, time to be the hunter, hunting for an Upset! 1 Quote

mes102 Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 I've seen two bracketology projections, both at #14 vs same opponent but different location. #14 Akron - #3 Illinois (in Pittsburgh, PA) #14 Akron - #3 Illinois (in Omaha, NE) Quote

NWAkron Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 Zips 13th seed in the Death Valley Region. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 17 #1 seeds have lost this week so far, or something like that. A10 has stolen a bid knocking out Dayton. Anything can happen. Quote
Zippy87 Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 Latest Bracketology released by Lunardi have Akron as a 14 seed playing Auburn in Pittsburgh. Quote
Zippy87 Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 Does UA get an allotment of tickets to sell? Quote

So which component of this is incorrect, given Lunardi's track record - the seed, the opponent, or the location? Or all 3? Quote
Westie Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 Pittsburgh …. That would be really tempting. Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 We are very borderline 13/14 according to these rankings. Quote
Zippy87 Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 Did anyone go the last time they had this at the JAR? Worth going? Quote
NWAkron Posted March 17, 2024 Report Posted March 17, 2024 the watch party is rather anti-climatic. I've gone to a few. You wait around and then hear "UCLA in Portland" or "VCU in Detroit." And you are like "is that all there is?" I think this one may be a bit more special because of the seniors. Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted March 17, 2024 Author Report Posted March 17, 2024 Dream scenario- Marquette ends up a three and gets matched up with the Zips and the Zips get revenge on that smug disrespectful puke Shaka. 2 Quote

Its primary draw is that it may be the last chance for many of us to see these kids together. Quote

Not sure where the Dukes would fall into place. UC Davis replaced by LCJ's first school Long Beach State. Fairfield is also out. Edited March 17, 2024 by NWAkron Quote
