Can anyone please tell me what material the FTR Collective hoodie is and if it is lightweight or more of a normal/cold weather hoodie?

Remember when Bud Wentz said in an interview that Akron has nicer facilities than JMU a few years back when JMU was the hottest thing in college sports? He was referring to everything that matters to players - practice facility, locker room, rehab, etc. These guys spend 80% of their time in those areas and it's a very easy sell to players/recruits. In addition, they're connected with a life-long financial stability partner in Bud/Wentz Financial Group which is seemingly not something many programs are offering. This is the recipe for the successful culture we are reaping the benefits of as fans. Bud funds the attractions while Groce & his staff find the high character, high skill players that value said attractions. Whatever they do going forward I trust because they damn sure have earned that trust. With that being said, more comfortable seating would go a long way with the community haha.

From The Athletic

Sonny Wilson was guarding him who did much more to contest the shot than Garvin Clarke did with Segu's missed 3 in 2022.

Who knows if we afford to keep Tavari, Lyles, Shammah, and bring in Evan then?

Okonkwo’s girlfriend was or is still on the zips dance team

That team out East made the NIT and will be traveling Illinois St.

Awesome!

Still makes me sad that Nate transferred. This team would have been insane had he stayed and unfortunately he missed out on a tournament appearance.

I know Isaiah is (or was) playing in Czech Republic.

Well, that sucks.

I agree. And I love to see it reinforced. I wonder if Seth Wilson or Isaiah Gray were there also. Maybe they’re playing abroad?

Akron culture - it's special.

Christian Anderson - their leading scorer with JT Toppin out - was the guy who slipped on the glass court in the Big 12 tourney and hurt his groin. Would be a shame if Shammah or Tavari hit him with a crossover hesi and he tweaked it again.

I find that a bit surprising. And I’m interested to know more about that.

And what's nice is that I really don't think over a few years it would end up being prohibitively expensive to make the JAR pretty nice for the fans, either. It doesn't need replaced.

Matta is staying

I think it can be true that NIL is the most important external factor to success in 2026 and at the same time be true that renovating the JAR (eliminating sideline bleachers alone would be a positive) would improve the fan experience and potentially draw more people. Ultimately, the team should lean into marketing it's players. Our players are genuinely good guys, and I truly believe a big reason my son is hooked on Zips hoops is because of the many wonderful interactions he's had with many of them. The postgame autographs was a terrific start this season.

Friday 12:40pm on TruTV is confirmed.

This particular blank is comfort colors. All of their shirts are just blanks with the tags ripped out. You find Comfort colors at tons of beaches, it’s a heavier t-shirt

12:40 Friday on TruTv is what I'm hearing.

FanDuel has -7.5 now for Texas Tech.

I always size up with GV.
