Districtballer Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hey Akron fans, VCU fan here. Just wanted to wish you all good luck. It should be a decent game. I understand that the Zips are virtually unbeatable at home, but we'll do our best to put your record to the test. It seems that we will be considered one of the marquee matchups and will likely have a ESPN2 game. We'll have a number of Ram fans heading up to the game to experience the great atmosphere we've heard exists up there at Zip games. I beseech you by all means to win your next 5 games before the bracketbuster so as to increase the buzz around this game even further!!! */Sixth Annual O’Reilly ESPNU BracketBusters TV Games:/**/Friday, February 22/*UC Santa Barbara (16-5, 5-3 Big West) at Utah State (16-6, 6-1 Western Athletic) Logan, UtahDavidson (15-6, 13-0 Southern) at Winthrop (14-8, 5-2 Big South) Rock Hill, S.C.*/Saturday, February 23Drake (20-1, 11-0 Missouri Valley) at Butler (19-2, 8-2 Horizon League) Indianapolis, Ind.Marist (14-8, 8-3 Metro Atlantic Athletic) at Cleveland State (14-9, 7-4 Horizon League) Cleveland, OhioMiami [Ohio] (10-10, 4-4 Mid-American) at Valparaiso (14-7, 5-4 Horizon League) Valparaiso, Ind.Milwaukee (12-10, 7-5 Horizon League) at Bradley (13-10, 6-5 Missouri Valley) Peoria, Ill./*Creighton (15-6, 6-5 Missouri Valley) at Oral Roberts (15-5, 10-0 Summit League) Tulsa, Okla.George Mason (16-6, 8-3 Colonial) at Ohio (15-6, 6-2 Mid-American) Athens, OhioCan't State (17-5, 6-2 Mid-American) at Saint Mary’s [Calif.] (18-3, 5-1 West Coast) Moraga, Calif.Nevada (13-8, 5-3 Western Athletic) at Southern Illinois (11-11, 6-5 Missouri Valley) Carbondale, Ill.Rider (17-6, 10-2 Metro Atlantic Athletic) at Cal State Northridge (15-5, 7-1 Big West) Northridge, Calif.Siena (13-8, 8-3 Metro Atlantic Athletic) at Boise State (16-5, 7-2 Western Athletic) Boise, IdahoVirginia Commonwealth (16-5, 9-2 Colonial) at Akron (16-5, 6-2 Mid-American) Akron, Ohio*/Sunday, February 24Wright State (14-6, 7-4 Horizon League) at Illinois State (16-6, 8-3 Missouri Valley) Normal, Ill./* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziptrumpet87 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 How much will the travel to CA affect Can't?UA and OU have home games.All three seem to have equal breaks between games before and after the ESPN-BB game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 We aren't getting much love on the CAA boards. I think they're in for a little surprise. Especially our 6'7" center...may turn some heads huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdZip Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 What a fantastic draw for Can't. If you're dumb enough to be a Can't fan, you have to be happy with that opponent.VCU looks like a nice opponent too for us. I think we made out pretty well considering our recent two-game slide.

BZip_08 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 That's a really interesting matchup, when I saw the possible matchups earlier this season I really wanted VCU, just because I know the school. VCU is a lot like Akron. It's a metro campus in the middle of Richmond. Their student body is a lot like UA's and well actually our campus is nicer. Ha. Funny. How often do I get to say that?! It should be a great matchup. VCU to my knowledge tends to be dominant at home just like UA, but they get to come to Rhodes arena. I'm looking forward to it and hopefully a lot of people come out for it... including an ESPN crew of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
