If I had tuned into this game I would think Akron is good, but nothing special. 19 TO's is enough to explode over. Groce said in his radio comments that a lot of them were due to CMU's pressure. That is not true. They were due to laziness, lack of discipline and lack of patience. Players were trying to make things happen that were not there. Many times trying to penetrate when a fellow player was open in the backcourt. This is on Groce. He is tolerating it and it is time to use playing time to get his message across. The 15 TO's were had against Miami cost us the game. Cut those in half and we win going away. I love John, but it is on him to fix this because it can be worse against the better teams. Everything we do from here on out is preparation for the MAC tourney and the NCAA's. We have to get better.

19 turnovers, 6 each by two of your senior leaders. Need to get that fixed fast.

So far UMass football and mens basketball are a combined 0-12 against MAC competition. Welcome back. 🙂

If verified, never to be invited back. 😉

No way the high school band was just playing “buckeye swag”

Tavari is having a great season. He had put his name in the transfer portal and then decided to stay with Akron Does anyone know the story behind the reason he stayed. Did Akron give him more money? Was there a lack of interest in the portal? I am so glad he stayed. Having an amazing season.

Not nearly the loss now Seattle Seahawk Kenneth Walker III was a few years ago. They recovered that.

Exactly what I was gonna say

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

No matter what happens the rest of the game, Shammah gets player of the game.

They mentioned that Tavari just took over 10th place in assisted passing Joe Jakubick. Pretty impressive for Joe since he hasn't played in 40 years.

Not looking too promising for Cheatom.

During the pre-game interview Groce mentioned that Hardman was playing sick vs. Miami. Did Groce say anything more about the Miami game? I turned it on late.

Zips have had some really bad passes tonight. At least one landing in the 3rd row. Lyles was jinxed by the Phelps when he talked about how well he has been playing the last 8 games. I cannot remember the last time I heard a 3 second call at a game. I thought they did away with that violation. (LOL) Scott is really playing well. We must have at least 10 points on fast breaks. Love Scott's reverse layup.

I thought Roberto Duran was "hands of stone" until tonight.

He brought his game today for sure.

I like the new CMU coach and the way he interacts with his players. He's "roster disadvantaged" but is doing a nice job.

It would be impossible for Lyles to play any worse.

I laugh every time I hear Phat Phat Brooks. I'm 12.

Shammah on fire

Love Eric’s active hands getting in those passing lanes

Zips used to do that with Zeke Marshall. Drove me crazy. 🙂

Their 7 footer is at the top of the zone. It is unique that is for sure

It's worth noting that 1 game will get flexed to a 6PM start time and air on ESPN2. The game in all likelihood will either be Miami @ Marshall or Akron @ Troy. If the decision was to be made today it would probably be Miami @ Marshall just because Miami is still undefeated. We'll see how the next few weeks play out.
