That's quite a hot take. Aiming instead of shooting?
-
I was thinking the same thing. 👍
-
They keep saying it'll be a home game for Miami OH. I won't believe it until I see a +20 Free Throw Attempt advantage for the Redhawks.

We haven't won a tourney game before - I'm all for mixing it up. -

I didn't start one thinking the tournament thread covered it as it did not the past, but have at it! -

Miami OH losing put all the pressure on the Zips in Cleveland. They took their foot off the gas to seemingly conserve energy vs. Buffalo. Then they couldn't re-engage how they wanted and the offense struggled the rest of the tournament. Watching their shooting motions, they looked to be aiming. They weren't confident in their shots and were trying to be precise, hence why the majority of the shots were short. I do not expect the same type of performance in Tampa. Not saying they'll shoot lights out, but I expect a better flow and more confidence offensively. -
I definitely think whoever wins the three-point shooting battle wins the game. We shot 32% this weekend (26/82), so that will have to improve a bit. It should go without saying, but we need to do much better at the FT line too- shooting 57% (31/54) like we did this weekend won't cut it.

Definitely points to that he will be unlikely to leave for a lateral move or one at somewhere like an A10 school that might be perceived as half a step up. -

~40% from 3P and we win this game. Maintain an up-tempo pace - run these guys out of the gym. They're not deep, they're not tall, and Akron is due. Play with confidence. -
Just bought the FTR Collective hoodie this morning, excited to get it!

Staying Close to John Groce - Coach-related News and Views
Zippy87 replied to dirtyolcrowe's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Coach Groce got choked up yesterday at the Watch Party talking about Bud Wentz and how he believed in his vision for the program when he first came in. He genuinely seems to love Akron and being here. I'm not saying programs won't reach out - they wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't - but I would be surprised if he left. -
I'd be hammering SMU. UMass shot 3-15 (20%) from 3P and beat Miami OH because of 6'9" Bettiol. SMU has a 7'2" C and 4 guards/forwards that shoot 37% or better from 3P.

I've bought from here before but haven't looked in a while. I need the Zippy mug. 🫠
-
Miami RedSquawks are +6.5 vs. SMU; has potential to be a good game..
-
Because creating new threads is fun (and it might be nice to have a specific game thread) 😁 Fri. 3/20 at 12:40 ET at Tampa NHL arena on TruTV Zips +7.5 on DraftKings The game is getting some media buzz as one of the most likely upsets due to TT injuries and good team size matchup.
-
with the glass floor debacle and the pot bust, Zips have clear road to Sweet 16. Their Kenpom luck # should rise
-
Thanks for setting this up!
-
where would the Zips be had the Abreu situation not happened? probably the ACC.
- Today
-
I'll be disappointed of he didn't accept the delivery and put it in the oven.
-
How Abreu-esque of him 😏
-
Going to be associate women's head coach at Arizona. Arizona head coach Becky Burke was at Buffalo prior.

In 2022 we were +13.5 against UCLA, 2024 +12 vs Creighton, 2025 +14.5 vs Arizona This is our best chance
-
I believe we were -6.5 vs both Toledo and Kent in the MAC tournament. Both games came down to the wire.
