Defense travels if you're allowed to play defense.

21 pt game. 2 things in play - can we cover and can we score more than Bama?

Barre is in.

Did they just call a foul on MMK for boxing out? Somebody should tell the refs these blowhards calling the game lecture Amani about not boxing out earlier in the game.

I think they've finally cracked a bit and I don't blame them.

I love when the 5'11" guards facing a team of trees get called for physicality fouls. "Tampax - the official tampon of the Big Ten." - Ricky Bobby (probably)

They just called an offensive foul on Tavari lol.

Tavari has lost his foster a bit right now. Need that to stay competitive.

Have to give the shooter room to land. It was the right call.

Push off by their big and a moving screen by their big. Neither called. I'd take the ball and go home if I was Groce. This is as blatant as it gets.

I thought so at first as well, but then he maintained the same energy, maybe even increased the vitriol, and walked to the baseline ref to give him a piece of his mind. It was right after we got called for a foul fighting through a screen.

Forever screw them for what they did to Budler.

Was he yelling at the players or the refs? In that same sequence, he was working both officials hard.

13 pt game with this officiating is just fine. Heck of a first half. 39 pts vs the #2 team in the country with a HUGE foul discrepancy.

This is impressive by the Zips, especially given the officiating.

Purdue better be careful. The FBI is on a sports-busting kick. Oh wait, P4s are immune to accountability and punishment. Silly me. Rules for thee but not for me.

This Akron team probably beats Creighton in that game. This team is deeper, longer, quicker, and way more skilled offensively.

If 7'4" is making 3s, good night.

It's the infamous phantom foul. Here's how it reads in the rule book... Rule 69.69: If the refs are anticipating a foul, they may blow their whistle. Subsection 420: If game is a P4 vs a G5 and their anticipated foul is going to benefit the P4, refs are required to blow their whistle.

These refs suck.

Damn. 2 on Evan early.

Pathetic job by the announcers time not mention that Loyer's dad played for Akron in the 80s.

Kansas would've been a fun matchup this year. I believe they're quite young, led by an Akron-connected Darryn Peterson, son of former Akron standout Darryl Peterson.

Their 1 win coming against Illinois State (respectable) where the viral highlight is the Ohio player missing a dunk at the buzzer with the whole team around him. Iconic.

All of them until proven otherwise. With Devan coming out of nowhere, there's recency bias for me and I'm really intrigued by a 6'9" F with his level of athleticism. 6'4" and 6'5" guards though maintain fantastic size in our backcourt and everything about Ladd sounds like he's a real player. St. Iggy to Akron is an awesome pipeline I'd like to keep going. The St. Iggy kid Kent has can shoot so if RJ has the ability to contribute like that as a freshman, look out. We will still have 2 open spots automatically to bring in transfers. This is truly a dynasty being built.
