I can't get there for a noon start. And trying to watch on espn+ is a horrible experience. Time to tune in the radio broadcast.

I’ll throw Oggy in there too. They all rebound on the defensive end and start the fast break themselves with the dribble.

Especially with Amani's 3P ability and Evan's dribble drive ability. There won't be 2 bigs clogging up the paint on offense. Allows the offense to be spread out.

I like that we played aggressively right to the very end of the half. Hopefully, stay as locked in after the break.

Just came to post the same thing. Two “bigs” on the floor as versatile as them at the same time is going to cause problems.

Evan and Amani on the court together is pretty fun.

Shammah with a DEEP 3 at the end of the half. What a half by the Zips Princeton doesn't appear to be nearly what they were last year, but Akron is also a total notch above what they were.

47-27 Zips at the half.

Especially when it's compounding a mistake. Nice steal by Evan and dish to Amani.

Fouling 3 point shooters drives me nuts.

Early candidate for the Jimmy Conyers award. 😊

Good energy today.

Eric Mahaffey takes the outlet pass to the rim for a sweet floater off the glass.

Different guys each time. This team is fully bought in.

It’s a shame we had to play Amani right away. With a redshirt year he would be a Junior today. 😔

That’s 3 times we’ve been on the floor trying for loose balls, I like it

very cool....that you were part of the very large Zip cheering section. It was great to see Zip Alum Ray Szabat as part of the crowd.

Evan doesn't have a shot, but he has an offensive game. He can dribble drive with the best of them and that's going to be worth a lot of points this season. 28-13 Zips. 9 to go in 1H.

Lyles is setting himself up for a long European career. Big Stank is way more active this game. Love to see it. Princeton needs the 3 ball. Limit that, and Akron should win going away.

18-13 Zips. Lyles off to another great start.

To quote Vin Diesel in The Pacifier: They say war is Hell... 6-2 Zips in first 3 minutes of play. Akron defense is elite.

What you're seeing is Pinky realizing his slow grind, ugly style won't work vs Akron, Miami, etc. He is adopting the run and gun style, but it remains to be seen if he has the horses in the barn to play a complete game on both sides of the ball. Relying on hot shooting is risky to say the least.

The pace of play was ridiculous lol. Second straight game for Kent like that. Can’t get a true read on them yet

I'm out of town today. While you are all enjoying the game, I'll be chasing around a group of 5 year olds. Make sure to make up for my absence and please post a lot of updates.

He's a career 20% three point shooter so I don't have high expectations for that aspect of his game but he contributes in so many other ways that I think he's going to be an integral part of the Zips' success this season. On top of it all, he's just a nice personable kid, as is Eric. As an aside, the other OSU transfer the Zips were rumored to be pursuing, Austin Parks, had 5 points and 3 rebounds in 18 minutes in Toledo's opening loss to South Alabama. We got the right Buckeye.
