Westie Posted March 22, 2024 Report Posted March 22, 2024 Made the drive yesterday. Great atmosphere. Lots of Zips fans in the building. Pretty much a full house for our game. Downtown Pittsburgh is such a wonky place. Lots of narrow streets and damn those bridges But anyway, Akron played as well as it could for 18 minutes. The next six game minutes did not go well. Then they got impatient and started shooting 3s and we know they ain't too good shooting from long range. Creighton shot 59% from 3. Ouch. But honestly, the Zips never stopped giving great effort. I know the correct narrative is this team never found the gear we thought they had. We would get a little tease here and there. But as the sadness of the end wears off, that Kent championship game will be the enduring memory. We all want this program to pull off an "Oakland" at some point, but for now, season is over. Future is in the portal somewhere. But this was a great group of seniors and at least we have a regular season title and two tourney titles since 2020 (no tourney in 2020) to be proud of. I'm confident that Coach will find some help in the offseason. Well done Zips! Looking forward to another banner going up. 6 Quote

ZippyRulz Posted March 22, 2024 Report Posted March 22, 2024 anyone know if the team and or coach and or AD came straight back home after the game? or to what extent they might have stayed to rub elbows? Quote
Rufus Posted March 22, 2024 Report Posted March 22, 2024 Creighton was a really tough matchup. I watched them several times this year, including when they blew out #1 UCONN. They have a pretty high ceiling, and Shereef Mitchell at Ohio came from Creighton (where he didn't play much). Creighton is a talented bunch. Congrats on the MAC tourney win, it was much deserved. We'll see you all in Athens in 10 months or so. 👍 4 2 Quote

Zippy87 Posted March 24, 2024 Report Posted March 24, 2024 Kalkbrenner is a really good player but he sure gets away with a lot down low. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 24, 2024 Report Posted March 24, 2024 (edited) 2OT Creighton is the Creighton we got the entire game on Thursday. Oregon is going to lose in 2 OT by nearly the same margin we did in regulation. Sheesh. Edited March 24, 2024 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 24, 2024 Report Posted March 24, 2024 Did not realize that was Greg McDermott - current Creighton coach and #2 all time in school wins - vs. Dana Altman - former Creighton coach and #1 all time in school wins. Wow. Quote
