FINAL RECORD
24-11, 11-5, second in the MAC East Division

WHAT WENT RIGHT
The Zips were the MAC's No. 1 3-point shooting team and led the conference in turnover margin and assist-turnover ratio. Akron was third in the league in scoring defense (63.8 ppg) and featured one of the MAC's best back-to-the-basket performers in Jeremiah Wood.

WHAT WENT WRONG
Injuries and roster shuffling kept the team from reaching its full potential. Defensively, the Zips were not as difficult to score against as in years past, with a 44.6 defensive field-goal percentage and a negative rebound margin.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"Akron is a very good basketball team. They were out-toughing us, slapping the balls, bodying up against us, getting inside of the basket and laying it in." -- Massachusetts coach Travis Ford.

Although, we only got to the second round of the NIT, it was exciting to watch our guys play well and compete against quality non-conference teams.  There is alot that has been said about Dambrot's philosophy on not scheduling bigger and better teams just because they won't agree to come to play in the JAR.  Our RPI was well into the 100s just because of this philosophy, and i ...(more)

I just set up a new college baseball forum a couple of days ago and I'm trying to get the word spread out. Should be fun once the season gets going.
