There was this in case you missed it... A 10,000 dollar half courter and former player Nate Ollie proposed to former code red dancer at halftime That was fun. Nice video. The kid was so confident after they handed him the ball.

I know you are upset we won. Chill out. No need for name calling. No I am happy we won, I am upset that after six seasons will still look like a sloppy High School JV team. It also doesn't help knowing next season is likely to be far worse. This is the truth. Just because we won doesn't mean we are any good. That was one of the worst exhibitions of basketball I've seen in a while. It's really hard to walk out of that arena excited and enthusiastic about this team or this program after that game.

However, Akron is better than many of you think. That being said, this game stunk up the arena. I was happy we won, but it was a hard game to enjoy. I’ll watch a replay, my wife says I am nuts - I am!

It's a another home win, Akron isn't awful and it isnt something they weren't accomplishing early in MAC play vs beatable teams but imo they aren't playing at level of a team that will even make the MAC semis in Cleveland in what was supposed to be a peak whitford yr. That's a problem if we don't see a n improvement in 28-31 days.

That's a problem if we don't see a n improvement in 28-31 days. I think that’s the concern some of us have—that while we are starting to win some games again we just don’t have the look of a contender. Too sloppy, poor offensively and too many turnovers. Maybe we round back into a team that can get to Cleveland and do something, but this was supposed to be THE year and it’s just not happening.

That's a problem if we don't see a n improvement in 28-31 days. Look at it this way, Akron was 4-25 from three, didn't hit a field goal in the last 4 minutes and still almost won. Whitford has done a lousy job this season, and it pisses me off that anyone would come on here and claim "great improvement" over the Billy Taylor teams.

I will feel much better if next Sunday we are discussing a 5 game winning streak. Miami fans already talking of their beating us & playing in the CIT this yr. (Boy I hope we are not sitting such goals)

Miami has Whits number so we’ll see.
If Miami wants to play in a 3rd rate alphabetic tourney they can go for it. I don’t want to see us in one again.

Maybe we defended the three and maybe we played good ball defense the last four minutes. But you can have your game and I can have mine. I was happy about the win and you were angry. I will take my day any day over yours.

Ugly Ugly Ugly game.. But a win is a win and we got it.. <iframe width="33.83999999999992" height="5.480000000000018" style="position: absolute; width: 33.83999999999992px; height: 5.480000000000018px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_86101997" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="33.83999999999992" height="5.480000000000018" style="position: absolute; width: 33.84px; height: 5.48px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1622px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_91672422" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="33.83999999999992" height="5.480000000000018" style="position: absolute; width: 33.84px; height: 5.48px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 116px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_73428542" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="33.83999999999992" height="5.480000000000018" style="position: absolute; width: 33.84px; height: 5.48px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1622px; top: 116px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_16433888" scrolling="no"></iframe> That's about all that can be said about that. Whole game was a rock fight and Akron was definitely the aggressor on defense. I guess the much-maligned positive takeaway is we didn't fold after a lousy half. BSU definitely stole one. That said, there has GOT to be something done about the quality of officiating in this league. Wildly inconsistent and atrocious calls on both ends. I counted three travels on what was nearly the winning play for Akron; we came back after Tayler got his pocket picked and got a stop on the final play.

.. it pisses me off that anyone would come on here and claim "great improvement" over the Billy Taylor teams. The quote by the way was that our roster was better. If you want to debate that, fine. Let's face it you hated Billy Taylor teams and you hate these teams. I see no reason to think you do much except hate on these forums. You are pissed whether we win or lose, anyway. But wait a minute, you do seem to have a little joy when we lose, actually.

Miami fans already talking of their beating us & playing in the CIT this yr. (Boy I hope we are not sitting such goals) Miami can suck an egg with that kind of thinking. Maybe try drawing more than 2K to that funeral home they play in and not buying their way into a tournament. It should be said they've fallen farther and more swiftly than we have. Ouch. That said, they do have Whit's number.
