Great Victory. Took every rally by the Zips and answered them every single time!
Radio call of the game for me from the Akron radio station. "Oh, my! Miles Brown at 6'1" just went up and took the rebound away from the 7 footer"!!!!!!
This team had teams make runs into their big leads time and again. It would be nice to see them put someone away but on the flip side of that they have never panicked.
We are going to have one of the better strength of record ratings at this point in the season in school history. Maybe top 30 out of 350+ in D1. As weak as the bottom of the MAC is, We would need to go about 29-5 or something like that to finish there. In the summer many of us wouldn't have been surprised by that thinking Preston would return instead of getting himself into first round projections for the NBA, Wilson would be healthy instead of tearind his ACL, and McDay would be OK. It's pretty fantastic that we can be 11-2 with losses only to national contenters.
But it doesn't feel to me like 29-5 is in the cards. Too many close wins without many blowouts means some luck has probably been involved in getting to 11-2. Realistically, (not whining just being real) we probably aren't as good as our record indicates. That's OK. Considering what we have unexpectedly lost we are pretty @#$%! Good.
