Heading to Portland

without comments

Early Wednesday morning, I will begin the long, but incredibly exciting, cross-country trip to Portland, Ore., in preparation to cover the University of Akron men’s basketball team’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament in 23 years.

I am going on behalf of you, the loyal Akron Zips supporter, and hope to provide you with a first-hand account of the happenings of this momentous occasion, from Wednesday’s night public practice to Thursday’s first-round game vs. Gonzaga and potentially beyond.

I plan to provide pictures from my journey, game analysis and hopefully more throughout the week.

Please check back here frequently, as well as the Buchtelite Web site for coverage of YOUR team’s participation in the 2009 NCAA Tournament. You can also follow my trip by subscribing to the Buchtelite’s Twitter account.

I’ll check-in upon arrival in Portland. Thanks for reading, and GO ZIPS!
