"It's hard to believe we didn't get in," Dambrot said. "I can't figure it out. Only nine teams in the country had more road/neutral wins than us [13]. This is on the league. I can't blame us. We did what we had to do. If i'm not mistaken, this was said during the Channel 5 interview and he was talking about the NCAA not the NIT. I could be wrong, but i know he said something very similar to that.

I love this though..... "I'm as flabbergasted as anybody," said Rick Boyages, the MAC's director of basketball operations. "These [NIT selection committee] guys get every piece of material we've got on our teams."This is my job. I don't understand this." B.S.

So you're saying that he knew he hadn't done enough for Akron and wasn't really surprised. :unsure: And the mission to scapegoat everyone on the planet continues....

Guys, This is why having websites like this are so valuable. Before this, we'd have no way to exchange all of this information, PLUS have the ability to gather fans together to exercise our collective voice.This kinda reminds me of the way I felt when the NCAA didn't give us a bowl bid Charlie Frye's senior year. In that instance, we had the best record in the country of any team NOT going to a bowl game. Sound familiar?What does the NCAA have against Akron?

Ok...it gets better...First of all, two very good articles this morning on the Beacon's website about us getting snubbed. www.ohio.comBut get this...........If Terry Pluto's comments are correct, we were #7 in the mid-major poll.. AND EVERY TEAM IN THE TOP-20 IN THAT POLL WENT TO EITHER THE NCAA OUR NIT.......except AKRON???????????Are you kidding me???????

Oh man, I forgot about that!!!!And don't forget how our soccer team routinely gets screwed by NCAA.I'm starting to think it truly is an "us against the world" scenario.
