csims0917 Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 Don’t panic folks we remember what happened last year. I’m sure Groce was just trying to give everyone playing time. Could’ve been a shortened game too to do other drills or scenarios with another basketball team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows the format, who was/was not injured or held out, what the lineups looked like and so on. Sure, CSU probably 'wanted it more' because this should be a regular season game, annually, but it is not, for whatever reason. Same with YSU. And while some might view this as a game Akron should not play ... I counter with rather seeing CSU/YSU over the HBCU's from outside the MAC footprint.

Groce shouldn't show his face at the tip off reception Wednesday and if he does he better have some good answers after this debacle. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 Zips are going to get the best effort from every opponent this season. They have a target on their back. Etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case scenario you come out better and more prepared for tourney time. Best case scenario (albeit unrealistic), you have a chance at an at-large if you pull off some upsets.

If we did that, people would moan, like they do in the football thread. Claiming it destroyed our players confidence and derailed our season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
