It is hard for anyone to beat a team three times and one season, as Kent will be attempting to do. The first two games were close and I expect this one to be as well. I can't wait, as this is the dream match-up for Akron and Kent fans. Now, I need the dream finish-it would look similiar to last years game, except with the Zips getting the winning three.

I agree even if the situations are reversed. How could any self-respecting coach TELL his players to literally throw a game.
Shades of Shoeless Joe Jackson anyone?

i'm definitely not rooting against KSU. i can't stand the thought of Akron representing this conference in the NCAA tournament!
