GoZips88 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Akron fans better show up en masse on Thursday night!!NO kidding. Not to get TOO far ahead but the Q should be packed if Akron/Can't meet again Friday night (knock on wood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsbandman Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 After that win, there is no reason why the Q should not be packed with Akron fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Like Balki said, THAT'S for taking the Wagon Wheel. I stayed away from Can't tonight because I'm STILL pissed about getting our asses kicked in football this year. Couldn't stand the thought of walking back to my car surrounded by a bunch of screaming hippies again. Wife and son were there - I stayed home and watched it on TV with my daughter. WILL be at the Q as long as Akron is in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips88 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 MAC Tournament pairingsWe get winner of Central/Buffalo. Can't gets NIU/Western. Western scares me and I'm glad we dodged them. What do they say about it being tough to beat a team three times in the same year? (Buffalo, Can't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippyrifle32 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 What do they say about it being tough to beat a team three times in the same year? (Buffalo, Can't) that it can be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsbandman Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Unfortunately we do not have much time to celebrate as we are in for a war in Cleveland, and we may not be done with those flushes. Beating them a third time is going to be a grueling task. Championship or bust. There is no reason this is not our year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eguins Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 GREAT WIN AKRON!!!I watched the entire 2nd half and OT and was cheering for you the entire game! I loved seeing that crowd of blue and yellow go home with a big LOSS!Hope you guys meet up in Cleveland next week: So you can kick their asses again!Congrats from a Youngstown State Fan.

mcperp Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Just got back from the MACC, Spectacular, amazing, and any other superlative you wanna throw in. Best game I've seen in a long time, and was the epitome of how great college BB really is. Tremendous effort by 2 tough, blue collar teams.

Quickzips Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Just got back after sitting in the Can't parking lot not moving for 25 minutes.WOW WHAT A GAME!Thats a showcase for the MAC. Thats a game that needs to be on ESPN or at least the Duece. If you don't like that you don't like basketball. I thought we were done when we hit OT. Dru was out, Ced had 4 fouls, Dials 3. We looked tired. Can't seemed to be rolling. Then when Ced missed those 2 FT's I was about ready to pack it in. These guys didn't give up. THIS is the game that we needed heading into the tournament. We proved tonight that we could go on the road and take down a close one. How big was Jeremiah Wood? Even without the winning shot he had a big night. There aren't too many players in the MAC that can beat him on the boards when he is on.Also, we get Nate back which can only help heading into the tournament.WOW, its over an hour after the game ended and my heart is still racing. Just wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00t Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I didn't read all 11 pages of this thread (so apologies if anyone already asked), and it doesn't really matter at this point... but did anyone see replays of what looked to me like two completely bogus calls at the end of regulation? I was almost sure that Linhart didn't travel and that Can't should have had their final basket erased for goaltending. Other than that, I thought the refs did a great job.That was just one heck of a game. I was calling the Can't ticket office every day in mid-December waiting for these tickets to go on sale. Row C, Section K was the reward for my tenacity. What I didn't know was that rows A&B were the press rows on the floor, so I was in the front row directly behind the Akron bench.They really could have quit tonight when Can't took the lead with just under four minutes to go, and then they could have quit again when their point guard fouled out and they had to play an overtime in a hostile environment without him. But this is the gritty kind of win that should go a long way for their confidence. It's tough to beat a team three times in the same season, but now I think they are just simply the better team and should take it down anyway.J-Wood had the game of his life and made his free throws!!!! 17 and 15 is a monster game, it's only fitting that he made the game winning shot after the effort he put in.See everyone in Cleveland!!!!!!!!!!! I love March!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleacher Bum Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Everyone shoulda stuck around after the game. We cheered for the team when they came out of the locker room, then went to the JAR for the MAC East Champions ceremonial cutting down of the nets. All the Rowdies there got a piece! I'm taking it to Cleveland! It's my new good luck charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking it to Cleveland! It's my new good luck charm! Damnit, wish I would have known about that. I was more worried about getting out of there before the Can't fans declared Jihad. There were some guys ready to fight on the way out to the car.Ohh well, I'll be waiting for a piece of the net from the Q! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was almost sure that Linhart didn't travel and that Can't should have had their final basket erased for goaltending. Other than that, I thought the refs did a great job.Linhart did NOT travel. Can't's final basket was good (the ball was coming off the rim and was out of the cylinder so no offense interference). What about when Dials hit the floor on a drive with no call? In slow motion it didn't look like much contact, but I think the Can't player did bump him with his body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZip_08 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Linhart did not travel. Michael Reghi and the other guy were vehement about it too (thanks MAC refs for sucking as usual, at least we're used to it). I sadly had to watch the game from my house on FSN... I booed and yelled and drank my way through overtime, basically I scared my dog, and humored my boyfriend. Apparently, I'm ridiculously funny to watch during sporting events.THANK GOD WE WON though, because I had a humiliating non-monetary bet going with one of my co-workers.

Blue & Gold Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 They should have cut the nets down from Can't's MAC Center! Aren't they allowed to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
