Men's basketball
According to some computer geeks, Akron has a 3.27 percent shot at earning an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament.
That's assuming Akron finishes the regular season at 22-6, which is RPIForecast.com's bet. I don't mean to rag on the dorks, because both of these predictions are probably accurate. Three losses in the MAC is great, but you have to do more than that to dance.
I'll break down the OU/Akron game tomorrow. Winning Saturday will be a huge step toward consideration for the postseason. Right now, the Zips haven't earned it.
