A fun development is that Kent also plays Purdue. Will be interesting to compare

Kent is not a good defensive team. They will only go as far as their shooting. Safford is banged up again this year.

Anddddd it’s gone. We got a new ball game

I'll man up and take it 😉😂 (and the refs dud suck 😊).

@Captain Kangaroo 1 day ban for @MDZip for reviving this thread without saying, "The refs suck."

Watching the Cavs and Jaime Jaquez is lighting them up. Brought back very bad memories.

I turned it on with 4 minutes to go in the half. Kent was at 38 pts, up by 18. They finished with 43 pts and are up by 9. This will be a very interesting second half. Also, Kent's ESPN+ announcers are atrocious.

UNCW got it within 9 at half

I did see that JMU got consideration.

It's up to Akron to produce the games. If it's not on ESPN+ then it would be because for whatever reason we didn't decide to produce it.

I had a feeling Kent was going to break out today. Up 36-15 already with 5 to go in the half. They are just booking it down the court and chucking up for 3s. I think that Troy game will be a lot like the Arkansas state one last year for us.

Arkansas State and Marshall are the two that jump out to me.

Need help understanding why that game is on ESPN+ but ours isn’t..

I imagine Evan Mahaffey’s experience playing against Purdue and occasionally at their place will be helpful for our locker room. And to a lesser degree Hardman’s experience.

From very limited research...I think that 7 of the 17 teams that the Zips played this year......will play conference semi final games this week. Below is the schedule....for the 7 games...I am picking up the game times by going to the NCAA scores website... Hopefully, they have good info Wednesday November 12th West Virginia 12-3-3 record ....will play 3 seed Marshall in Sun Belt Conference semi - 7 pm Cleveland State 7-3-6 record...I think they are the top seed...they will play 5 seed Robert Morris in Horizon League Semi 4 pm game time Western Michigan 6-9-3 record.....they will play 2 seed Drake in MVC semi...7 pm Vermont with an impressive 12-0-5 record...they will play 4 seed New Hampshire in semifinal - 7:30 pm St. Louis....very good 9-2-6 record (only 2 losses - Akron and Indiana)...they will play 4 seed Davidson in A10 semi - 8 pm Thursday November 13th Cornell 12-2-2 record.....will face 3 seed Penn in Ivy League Semi - 3:30 pm Mighty Akron 11-3-3 will have a rematch with UConn 10-3-4 - 5 pm Season over for these zip opponents VCU 6-6-5 Northern Kentucky 4-10-3 Ohio State 6-10-0 Butler 5-10-2 St. John's 9-5-4 DePaul 2-8-7 Seton Hall 7-3-7 Xavier 5-6-4 Marquette 7-7-2 Creighton 8-4-4

He was the other player in America to average at least 17.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting at least 59.0 percent from the field last year (with Cluff). He's also 6'9".

YSU and PS Shenago on espn+

Good representation by the MAC. I think this might be Bowling Green’s year. Are there any Sun Belt teams on there?

The world you live in must be an interesting one. Go Zips.

Pay attention to Purdue's game vs Bama. Arguably their best player, Trey Kauffman-Renn, was a game time decision with a hip issue before ultimately sitting out vs Oakland. Even if he plays vs Bama, Purdue has Memphis after Akron and I could see him resting a bit vs Akron.

I can;t access the article below as I don't subscribe I believe that Will had to play a certain number of games in 2025...for his contract to be picked up for 2026. He played in more games than needed....so Wil be part of Minnesota United for 2026 https://www.twincities.com/2025/10/24/michael-boxall-wil-trapp-to-return-to-minnesota-united-in-2026/

Now that Kent has a pulse, this will be a tough game. I've lost all hope that Finley will complete 65%, but at least I hope for no stupid mistakes. I think the D will continue to shine, and the O will score just enough. Zips 24 -- Flashes 17

Of course, we will get homered by the BIG ref's, but I think we have enough depth to keep the pace fast. I'm no BB guru, but from what I've seen, I think we will be a match up problem for them as they are for us. Young in particular sticks to his man like glue. The whole D has been great. I think it will come down to shooting. Can we make a decent shooting %? Our chance for a V? I would say slim, but not none. GO ZIPS
