I feel as long as we hold our own (not necessarily win) the rebounding battle we will win comfortably. If Kent out rebounds us by 10-15 then those extra possessions can keep them around.
I would say that if all of their MAC games are close and all of ours (other than the loss) are not, that kinda indicates it might not be that competitive. But rivalry games don't always follow the script!

Excellent reporting from Zipped Up which includes some crazy awful stats on the Rockets.
Even if the rich get richer, I think it's good for us in general because it is another potential revenue source. Any opportunity to push us from the red more towards the black is great.
ABJ coverage
Lyles compiled his fifth double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Sophomore Sharron Young added 11 points for the Zips.
Lyles has scored in double figures in 15 consecutive games, becoming the first Akron player to do so since Enrique Freeman during the 2023-24 season.
It's a wonderful read.
Shoutout to the announcers tonight. Miami OH fans watching the game had to be pissed hearing them essentially say Akron is still the class of the MAC despite the Sweaters being undefeated. Cleveland will be fun.
He actually had TWO pick sixes in that Super Bowl. The only reason he didn't win MVP was because they stupidly voted for MVP before the game was over a which was before he ran back his second TD! And the "MVP" was another defensive back! Still pissed! 😁
