We have a great team but only 12 posts during the game. Not much excitement on this board.

Are we better defensively tonight than last Saturday or is Western Michigan that much worse and cannot hit a long ball. I go with the latter.

He was sulking on the bench with a towel over his head. Actually, He is working hard and is a solid g league player: In the NBA G League, Bates owns career averages of 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists across 57 games with Cleveland and Delaware. This season, he’s averaging 19.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 30.6 minutes per game while shooting 43.4% from the field.

Since I did not get an answer from anyone on this board I did an AI search and got the following: The highest points scored against the Zips in a game is 119, which occurred during a matchup against the University of Kentucky on December 21, 1990. Defensive Performance Akron typically maintains a strong defensive record, contributing to their ability to limit opponents' scoring. Recent Trends In recent seasons, the Zips have continued to focus on defensive strategies, further reducing the likelihood of allowing high-scoring games. Well, would anyone like to comment on AI and the defensive stratagies we have employed in recent seasons to reduce the likelihood of allowing high-scoring games? (LOL)

When Halligan came in, he stood out defensively and the Zips went on an 8-0 run. And nobody else stood out defensively today. He deserved the time.

Does anyone know what the record is for the most points scored against the Zips. We might be approaching that number.

They hit 100 already. They will go for 120. They are just red hot from the 3 line in the past 5 minutes. Murray State is just playing lights out from beyond the Arc.

I cannot remember the last time we hit a three and they are drilling open three pointers. We collapse in the paint leaving guys open for 3 pointers.

The Zips are just not helping themselves on defense. They need to move quicker to the ball on both defense and on rebounding. I do not think the refs have been one sided. We are 6 of 12 from the foul line.

Murray State has been called for about 6 offensive fouls on moving screens. It is helping us to stay in the game. This is not Eric's best game. Groce took him out early in the half.

Halligan came in and spurred the Zips rally with some really good defense. He was fighting through the screens and would not let his man drive to the basket. Groce was switching him in for defense. With Barre and him on the floor at the same time you could see the difference in defense. I would like to see them get more playing time in the 2nd half.

They have been able to drive the ball on us. And when they get the ball underneath, we have doubled leading to open shooters at the 3 line. We can play with anyone but need to hit our open shots.

We are getting beat up on the boards. Need to be tougher under the rim. One good thing about the feed, no commercials. Maybe we will not have so many stops in the action

I just bought access to the game. I thought it was an app I could watch on my tv but it looks like I need to watch through the computer. Arena looks empty for the first game. Picture looks decent.

Looking forward to this game. The great Akron teams always had great guard play. Johnson and Scott have been playing very well. Our defense and rebounding has been our weakness and in our last game we rebounded the ball very well. This team has gotten better as Barre has improved and has received more minutes. I like Marvin's hustle and game but he is undersized at the 5 and just not strong enough against opposing centers with height. Would love to see another blowout win.
