I presume tickets through UA will come through mid-afternoon today? Toledo jumped us in the first half last time. Can’t afford a slow start tonight. We have the depth advantage but can’t waste energy climbing uphill. Start fast and wear them out.

Shammah Scott never lost to Kent State. He was a perfect 8-0 against them. The majority of our roster has never lost to them. Incredible run.

85-73 Zips. Against weaker perimeter defense, our less contested outside shots will fall, and we'll pull away in the second half to then cruise down the stretch.

Let's goooooooo

Predictions for tonight? We destroyed them on the glass in our meeting at the JAR. 37-25 overall and 16-7 on the offensive glass. Could be key tonight.

Kent made some really good adjustments after the first two games. Just didn’t have the skills on offense to fully take advantage. He got them to their ceiling just wasn’t high enough

Yes, I feel realization is setting in for him that he can't elevate Kent's program to where Akron is currently. His only hope is Akron regressing. I actually thought he coached Kent well and had a solid game plan to disrupt Akron offensively yesterday. Jack's and Joe's just beat X's and O's.

Sendy was very complimentary of us in his post game presser. Says he thinks we have the best MAC team since Oats’ Buffalo squads..including better than Miami this year.

Thank you!

Lyles' ability (normally) to stretch the floor opens up the lane for Tavari, Shammah, and Sharron. I can't see Groce telling a normally-good shooter to stop shooting 3s because of two bad games.

Your like reminded me about this. I just put it on and it's true to size. It's very comfortable and breathable. I could definitely see myself wearing this during chilly summer mornings or evenings.

Thanks for the response. I'll keep that in mind. The last time I went to watch an Akron game at Barley was the tournament game against VCU. I just wasn't impressed with their setup and given the complaints I read earlier in the year when they were hosting viewing parties it doesn't sound like much has improved.

Scott’s block at the end reminded me of the end of the 2011 MAC Championship game against Kent where we blocked it 2 or 3 times. #DancingOnPorrini

The Miami women's team doesn't seem to have a problem playing at 11am. Up 12-0 on Toledo.

💯💯

We parked at the PNC garage. Only $4. Close walk to Corner Alley. Longer walk after the game of course. Took 15 minutes to get out of the garage after.

I am an anti sports-watching barley house critic. Especially today with it being the st patricks day parade in akron this afternoon, they will be so drained from their one afternoon of good business by 8pm. Possibly one of the basement locations would have it on since they did the watch party for the 2nd kent game. The one in the valley is new

I'm not in the area and can't help you with a specific spot, but when I have a similar evening planned, I call ahead and ask. A lot of places will be accommodating if it does not interrupt a weekly theme night and if they know you are bringing others or will post to social media for them. Barley House isn't a good option?

There was a lot of good in this game, too. Lots of good ball movement and players working together. Good defense with just the one breakdown, inability to clear inside the box. Not sure how it works, but I think the PK’s only figure in if a tiebreaker is needed.

Lyles' shooting rhythm is off. When he is up on his toes and bends his knees and has a whole body shooting motion, his FTs are good. Otherwise, he is stiff and flat footed and misses. If I were Kent last night, I would have used bench players to put him on the line. I hope his FT form is better tonight. In any case, I hope Groce tells him no 3's. Aside from his recent poor shooting streak, we need him under the basket for rebounds. His size and strength is wasted on the perimeter, and we have plenty of other sharpshooters.

I'm probably not going to make the game tonight. We didn't get home until close to midnight and the future Mrs. had to turn around and be up by 6AM for work. She works again tomorrow morning as well. Any bars in the Canton/Akron area you guys recommend to watch the game. It seems many, particularly on a Saturday night, play jukebox music. Any establishments that you know of that play game audio?

Akron better win today I have a 5k at noon tomorrow and I don’t want to be mourning

3 games in 3 days has to be rough. Especially after a game like yesterday. But even though it’s been quite some time since I’ve seen my early twenties I do remember feeling invincible. They should be fine. I’m not expecting anywhere as physical of a game.

Just as exhausting for the fans in my opinion 😂
