There is no one on this team that should feel entitled to their minutes. If Aaron Jackson or Williams or Ivey want to play more minutes, freaking defend, move on offense, and defend, and you are a starter. The talent on this team is as good as any I've seen, but the hustle and effort is the worst. No excuse for getting their ass whipped in successive games, other than having a big head from eating a ton of cupcakes. Top 25? This crew is below the Top 125. Wins against some weak competition has hidden some critical weaknesses. It used to be KD'd say "The first team to 65 will win". Now the opponents are hitting 65 with 9 minutes left in the game. That's a problem. We shoot three's like we're Golden State. But we make them like we're Central State. That's gotta change. Too much potential to give up on the Zips...but right now....this is the worst Zips "team" I've seen in 12 years.

Not the brighter ones.....

Shots will come and go, but defensive effort and rebounding can't. And shouldn't. That's just desire and effort. We've played two successive decent teams, and been thoroughly out-classed. That's beneath the talent level of this team. Where's Malone when you need 'em?

Thank God for beer.

Akron just can't get stops defensively to enable them to trim the lead.
