if you can't beat this so-so miami team on a neutral floor, its hard to argue that you belong in the ncaa tournament. miami got akron to play down to its level. a good team should put them away. i expect one-and-done for them. still, a good season. but it had the potential to be a great one.

wow, how did we lose this game?????????
Free throw shooting killed us. We left points on the court that we could have had. If we made all of our free throws, we would have been chanting "I believe that we have won" with a few minutes left in the game. That last miss was the real killer. Make it, we go up by 3 and get another shot and a chance to ice it with a 4-point lead. Instead, the ball goes to them. The clock not starting correctly didn't help either, and correcting that is like unringing a bell. I don't believe they could have ruled that had the clock started correctly, the shot would have been put up after time should have expired, because Miami could claim that they had their eyes on the clock and based their play on what the clock said.The clock screwup sucks as much as Can't does, but we can't blame it entirely. FT shooting killed us, which is too bad because Miami won't represent the MAC well--they'll go one and done.Might we get a home NIT game? At least one?

miami is going to get trucked, just like Can't did last year.

Hot garbage plain and simple. Clock doesn't start on an obvious free throw miss but it johnny on the spot for an out of bounds pass... Akron is friggin cursed... And WTF was that "make-up" .6 second ruling about? Let's fix a total crap call with another junk one... nice work idiots. :mad_flame:

wow way to support your fellow MAC conference scores. I hope Miami does well, more money for MAC programs the further they go in the turney. Good Luck to Miami
Not wanting them to go one-and-done, just pretty confident that they will. They'll probably be a 15 or 16 and get to play a buzzsaw on Thursday or Friday..... Would it be cool if they did make a Cinderella run? Sure, it would be good for the MAC and might get the conference an at-large bid in the future. But I probably won't be advancing Miami in any brackets.....

Actually, no, it wouldn't have. It took 1.54 seconds to start the clock, he shot with 1.2. Do the math. Yeah, Akron still should have put it away but that doesn't make this any better... year end tourney's are a waste for situations EXACTLY like this. Why even play the season?

Well hopefully Cedrick will be in the gym working on free throws for next season. You can't blame it all on him, but shooting only 69% as a guard is not good.Its been 21 years since our one and only NCAA tournament. I am beginning to think it will be another 21 years until the next one.

Just got home from the game. It will be hard to get over this one. I'm not a sour grapes type of fan, in fact, I really hate that....HOWEVER, there is NO excuse for not having the officials review this on the TV tape. They would have realized that Miami never would have gotten that shot off. I agree that it was a monster shot and that Akron should have put Miami away and all that stuff, BUT THIS IS WRONG. :cry:

I just got home and poured the biggest glass of Bushmills I physically could.Screw the grousing over the clock. Make our FT and we're in the NCAA's. We didn't take care of business.Congrats to Miami. Another MAC tourney dagger, like Jose' Davis, Brandon Hunter, Anthony Stacey, Keith McCloud...Thank God Hixson made that catch, otherwise I'd kill myself tonight.If I type much more I'll probably say something I'll regret. Later.
