This is a hilarious Wentz Financial Group promo. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRNi583ku8Y/?igsh=MWRzaWt5YW41OHZ5dA==

5th in the country in assists coming into tonight.

Akron shot 65% from the field and 52% from 3 (again). There are several reasons for these high field goal percentage. This team is not selfish and I saw a lot of great passes to open men and some great interior passing. Tevari had some amazing assists. This team had around 25 assists. We were also able to penetrate and Amani was able to post up and get some baskets down low. Most importantly, we are making our open 3 ball. If this team can shoot this well on a daily basis we will be tough to beat. Great outside shooting makes every team look good.

Most insane OT ever.

Can’t read. Can’t write. Can’t correctly enter the box score.

Here's the bottom line: Last season Akron was the clear best team in a bad league. This season Akron is the clear best team in a pretty good league. And it's not even close.

Akron shot 65% from the field and 52% from 3 (again). Akron's 3P% is absurd, yes, but their FG efficiency is sustainable. Why? Akron's 2PA are largely aggressive drives or cuts to rhe basket, meaning we're either laying the ball up or dunking the ball. Most teams have a chunk of their 2PAs come from hook shots or bigs trying to get the ball around/over a defender. The only weakness this team has is interior size and I'm not sure too many teams will have the athleticism, size, or talent to limit our versatility.

Only John Groce can take a "question" like the one at 5:07 and turn it in to a really solid response

I didn't think we played very well, yet we still cruised and emptied the bench at the end of the game. Lyles played great. Evan Mahaffey had a solid game. Eric had bursts of being the best player on the floor. I was pleasantly surprised to see Barre. Looked like a highly skilled offensive big. A little slow on D and he didn't rebound very well. Wish we had a better crowd. This team deserves better. Go Zips.

I’m very whelmed. Biggest positives is Barre looking good and Young starting to figure it out for me

Miami is at 130 and BGSU 133. Should be a really fun MAC conference

We've moved up to 57 in KenPom. Buffalo is still undefeated but is ranked 204th. The Flushes also thumped Shenango. They are at 125.

Balls with 37 pts against Lafayette - in the entire game. Wow.

We had six! players score at least as many points as Ball States leading scorer this evening.

Did not know that. Definitely makes more sense.

Barre had knee and hamstring injuries.

Seems like he took oggie’s minutes. I still want to see him as well

Only thing I could think of!

Barre with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks in 13 minutes. Should be a rotation player moving forward.

You'll have to settle for 105-81. 😁

They do only count conference games, but solely because Ohio and Toledo did not play other, they didn't count those games. I like the "mini conference" concept where their records against each other count as the first criteria whether they all played each other or not.

Young found his shot again today

Last year we lost 100-81. Could we win this game with the exact same score?

Can we get our free tacos?!

Milwaukee is a 200+ KenPom team, sure, but Akron is demolishing DI teams like P4s do. This is such an impressive start to the season.
