Can Akron get custom home white pinstripe uniforms for the PCCC game? It would be the ultimate troll.

I fixed it for you.

I believe a wise man recently (loosely) said, "The Zips are like the Dodgers and Yankees. They're preventing everyone in the MAC from having success with all their resources and power."

Zips #15 in the College Insider Mid-major poll and #25 in Mid-major madness.

I'm thinking about buying some kind of Dodgers hat for the Kent game at the JAR. 😁

I believe he's had a problem with turnover and not replenishing to extent he's lost.

Mike Lewis started off with a bang at Ball State two years ago, winning 20 games in his first season and I thought he was building them into a contender but since they're essentially .500.

Thank you. I will say their pace of play is not something I foresaw and is truly what our advantage is. There are very few teams in the country, let alone the MAC, with our depth and pace of play. While most teams have to shoot well (35%+ from 3 and 48%+ from the field), Akron can have sub par nights and still come out on top comfortably thanks to our volume. 30% from 3 and sub 48% from the field is equal to, if not greater than, the total point production of your average teaming shooting well. Kent is a great example because they were unconscious vs BG and still only scored in the 70s. Adding our scoring depth into the equation, we don't even rely on the same guys for that offensive production. As Groce said, we had 6 guys in double figures and it can be a different group of guys on any given night. This offense is so much fun to watch, and here's to hoping we can keep the training rolling into March. Big time potential should they be cutting the nights in Cleveland.

How does WMU keep doing this? Last year they finished 6th while going 12-20. They have a very real chance to lose 20 games again this year, but watch them end up in cleveland again

I read this post and about half way through the conference schedule everything is coming ups roses. Amazing leaps from Lyles, NJ, TJ, and Scott. Wilson is shooting an amazing 47% from three point range in conference play and Okonkwo has established himself as rebounding machine down low. The chemistry is coming together and we are undefeated in conference play. Grey has been consistent but Nate Johnson has even been better leading the team in scoring. We are a 10 deep team even with Harris being out for the year. Your analysis was spot on and much better than the MAC preseason polls.

Seen more detailed promos in my day….

Not a very long list but congrats to those that did make it

I look at where BG is sitting in the standings and have to think how pissed we would all be if we didn’t pull that one out.
