Ivey on track to set the Zips all time record for differential scoring in back to back games. Adjusted or not.

Was it the Bowling Green game at the very end where the Zips were the beneficiary of a bad out of bounds call? They reviewed it, turns out it was out of bounds on Akron because the opponent slapped across the arm causing the ball to go out. Possession goes the other way, but no foul because you can't review that!?! How does that scenario of events make the game better?

I previously saw plans for the renovated JAR. Then last week I was in a discussion with someone in the development department and brought up those plans. That person quickly moved on to something else which I thought was odd at the time. Really doubt it has anything to do with the coaching change. We exchanged one good coach for another, and I don't think that's how multi-million dollar donors think. When you give enough money that allows you to name an arena or building, you probably figure there will be a few coaching changes over the next 100 years.

I haven't seen anything negative from this team attributable to the coaching staff thus far. I'm not ready to anoint them as the end all be all as it is way to early to do that. Conversely, it is too early to do the opposite and criticize them. The jury's still out. If at this time next year, with the transfers on the roster and another year recruiting, the team is still struggling, my criticism will come, but right now it is way too early.

My goodness these refs are horrible. Just wanted to keep the streak of consecutive games with ref complaints going.

tremendous interview.... the top 11 is so hard.......we have been blessed to see so many great players

Well, this went to $h!+ in a big hurry.

Just A Blog From Akron Asks Jared Embick The Important Questions January 30, 2018

The 15-7 Toledo Rockets come into the JAR Saturday to face the Zips. The Rockets are led by...awww screw it. Just show up and watch the game. I'm still surly from Ball State and Miami...

UAZippers: the elevating the Miami freshmen over ours is because: Some on here are always looking for new passive/aggressive ways to diss the coaching staff and the team this season. In this discussion, its that the current staff just isn't getting enough out of our freshmen unlike Miami apparently is or a former coach did. The fact is that you can't quantify what even a Dean Smith or John Wooden would be able to do with this team with these injuries.

Is this the new RB coach?! You'd think this would give us the inside track on up and coming SVSM players who aren't elite P5 caliber.

I agree with you completely. It's not unreasonable at all. You might also want to be reminded that Keith and his staff performed some masterpieces in terms of what they were able to mold out of some of the talent we had. But even more significantly, the freshmen who came through this program over those 12 years had plenty of contributors playing in front of them, and mostly played very secondary roles in terms of who was going to going to take the scoring opportunities. That situation does not exist now. The room for someone to step forward is wide open. And my point was that Miami clearly has some freshmen who are already "there", and have taken advantage of that opportunity to play a big role.

Here's a photo of the t-shirt- Just kidding. Wouldn't that be precious.

Go ahead remind us. I don't even recall his freshman year. I do remember that his class never got to an NCAA tournament

Big difference? Sure. Unreasonable thoughts? Far from it. Surely I don't have to remind this board the quality of player last year's MAC POY was as a true freshman.

AT K.ent... AT Ohio &... AT Buffalo!!!

Absolutely. I've been posting about this for quite some time. Obviously, our coaches think that we have to use him in other capacities. But, I share in your observation that it could be hurting his scoring numbers.

After they lost the initial lead, the effort on the court ceased. We don't have the horses to compete, let alone win, unless everyone is 100% invested.

Good news is that Toledo is obviously beatable based on tonight. Onward to Cleveland with a stop maybe in Ypsilanti.

Excuse me, @Captain Kangaroo? I think @dre22era hacked @NWAkron.

This game is giving me the cheesesteak rumble.

4-17 from beyond the arc (23.5%).

16 steals in a quadruple double! This tweet was 'liked' by Rob Fulford, I hope he can bring it home. I really want this kid on the Zips.

Update on Neftali Alvarez. We appear to be on his short list. But his short list is chock-full of impressive competition.

And on the other end, they now seem to have to go to the monitors for everything...
