Zips women lose 85-59. They may be able to take some solace in the fact that it's one of the smaller margins of victory Michigan has had so far. Heck, they beat Notre Dame and Purdue by a lot more. Not sure how the Wolverines worked their lineups today.

That Kent State MAC home opener should be electric at UMass, Dec. 20th. Frank Martin will likely look to curb stomp the Golden Flashes to send a loud and clear message to the rest of the league!!!

Shooting 50-percent from the field, 40-percent behind the arc ... and losing by 15 to fellow mid-major is a head-scratcher. Would love to run this one back tomorrow if we could just to see if this sticks. Problem is, in two quality mid-major losses Zips have let Yale and Murray State shoot 60-percet and win. The positive is ... that's what it's going to take to get the job done against the Zips! The negative is ... it's already happened twice with 2/3rd of the season still to play.

I think we were around #16 in kenpom offensive rating and moved up to #14 after the game. We were around #150 in defense heading into the game. Now we're at #206. You have to go back to 2018 to find a year our defense was rated this low.

Our offensive rating goes up, but our defensive rating goes way down. 🤦‍♂️

Thank you!! I haven’t laughed that hard in such a long time.

115 in regulation is embarrassing

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

We’re on the receiving end of the Miami game (home) from last year.

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.

Defense was optional today. To Murray State’s credit, they didn’t seem to miss either!

Groce may have a coronary if they give up 100.

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.

Chippy game.

Joe Dunn says he and David could take the Murray State announcers. 🤣

I feel the talks of this being Groce's best Akron team was premature. We've been able to run up the score on the bad teams we've faced, but haven't been able to beat the good teams on our schedule. Our best win is against #161 Iona. Hopefully Groce can use this as a teaching moment as this is the worst Akron half-court defense we've seen in maybe 5 years. I think we have the bodies and athletes to improve, but we need to play smarter defense and be more disciplined.

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.

Officiating seems awfully one-sided but only listening on AM640

Plenty of time left. Go Zips!!

Get within 2 and then get down by 10.

There have been more “And 1” fouls called in this game than the rest of this season combined.

Dave and Joe working today

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.

I believe Scott got locked up with one of their freshmen as time expired. Both hit the ground. And both charged with a technical foul, but no shots taken.
