I am looking forward to playing them after losing 15 straight we are going to win. Akron is currently playing a 7 man rotaion & 4 are freshman. The other 3 are the main scorers. Leading scorer is Daniel Utomi 6'6" Soph f PPG 16.2 & leading rebounder @ 6.3 he is the tallest starter as well. Grad Student Malcolm Duvivier a 6'2" transferred from Oregon St where he started 2 years is averaging 14.6. The third leading scorer is Jimond Ivey 6'5" Jr at 12.8 & 2nd in rebs avg 6.2. Zips are 3-4 in league & 10-9 overall. They are 10-1 at home & have not won a game away from Akron. A loss in this game would ruin the season.

A loss in this game would ruin the season. With the expectations I had after beating ND and going on a 9-game win streak, there isn't much left to ruin. Being 3-4 in conference and celebrating that the team actually bothered to show effort in an important game at Kent has readjusted expectations in a bad way. A loss in this game would definitely make me check-out hard though. It was bad enough watching some of the worst football I've ever seen last year. I'm close to apathy.

It's a game where a loss almost hurts more than a win helps. A loss would make it a severe uphill battle to finish any better than 8-10/9-9. basically could be starting a likely 3-6 in the face. in terms of getting a top 4 seed, they can still tread water if you will with a win although they still aren't at the level we'd hope in yr 5.
I'm going to predict a win by 5 since Akron is down but by no means is it a given with BSUs history vs Akron.

At this point does it make a difference if we win or lose?

We'll find out tomorrow if this team (or some members of it) has quit or not.

Very winnable game. If we have any thought of winning in the tournament, you have to win games like this.

Wouldn't it be nice, for a change, if we didn't fret over whether BSU was up to the task of handling the worst team in the MAC (RPI of 227).

It's two teams heading in opposite directions, and we aren't the one on the uptick.

Yep we will likely have an RPI in the 160's at season's end and 00 dumbass will once again claim things are improving and next season will be different.

When I look at Akron's roster & compare it to ours we should win & I see it as a double figure margin. Vegas has us as 8 pt favorites. Akron does have the worst RPI in the league & with injuries currently has no one playing taller than 6'6" which is why a loss in this game would show me the season is over to our team. Lets play this game & the rest of the season like we did against ND.
