DooleyBull06 Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 I agree with playing in the post season. For everything that has been said but also for recruiting, branding and exposure. We need to play into March. Recruits wanna see that. Plus by the administration letting the team play it shows commitment to the program also.

But in all seriousness if that were to happen, at least we would know what to address this off season and what to expect next season.

DooleyBull06 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Just tying up loose ends…the basketball classic tournament will feature 21 teams. Pretty sad that they wanted 32 and settled for 21. Poor planning. Poor expectations. Either trim it next season or dissolve it. On the UB front, I have to think we got an invite and declined? If that’s the case I’d like to know why? Just what’s the reasoning. Anyways, season is officially over. Enjoy the big dance fellas. See y’all when there’s recruiting news.

skrabukes Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Toledo got smoked by 19 at home in round one of the NIT. Not a good showing for the MAC. We'll see if Akron fares better. Honestly, I couldn't care less, but hoping for a big win in the women's NCAA game for the MAC entrant! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toledo shot 4/23 from 3, including Shumate 0/7 (and 0/11 overall with 0 pts…ouch). That’s hard to overcome for any team. Better luck on the big stage for the MAC women’s entrant in the NCAA. Go Bulls! 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do people think of the other Ball State transfer, Miryne Thomas: He didn't have a good game against us this year - but overall his stats are decent - 36.4% on threes on 151 attempts. Rebounding figures seem a bit low for a 6'8" player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand there are always circumstances, but there has to be someone better out there we could key in on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a crazy upset. Iona was supposed to be the team there, they get knocked off and St Pete's grabs a huge win over the blue blood.

Bluebird96 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 So far not a good showing by MAC teams in the postseason with Kent losing last night to Southern Utah in addition to Toledo’s NIT loss. Maybe Akron can pull off the upset over UCLA tonight. Competitive game over the first 9+ minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird96 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 In other NCAA games, it’s notable that UB’s 1st opponent this season (Michigan) knocked out our final opponent from last season (Colorado State). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrabukes Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Akron doesn't get the cheap bailout foul on the final drive, unlike vs. UB. Ali had the wide open man in the corner, but didn't look to pass to him, wanted the glory, instead cost them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird96 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Freeman fouling out seemed to give UCLA new life. Had Ali given Akron anything in this game it might’ve been a different story. But strong showing by the Zips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubmae86 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Ultimately, UCLA was just too much. They were a deep runner last year and they will do it again this year, I believe. They returned their whole team and they just had an off night tonight. If they are on, Akron don’t Jane a chance. Good for them sticking with UCLA though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 4 assists on 21 made baskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
