That said, Akron has everything necessary to go for a 4-peat.

Tavari is so good

In the Horizon League semifinals, #6 seed Cleveland State beat #1 seed Milwaukee, 1-0.

Lunardi Bracketology.

Matthew got screwed. He was clearly the best defender on the field regardless of who we played. He is an all-around player who is a beast on corners and close in set pieces.

Akron couldn't afford to pay Amani anything close to what he's getting paid in Cincy. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he alone in Cincy is making nearly what Akron is paying its entire roster. He was going to be gone no matter what.

It’d be a wild what if I’ve thought about and I don’t know how we’d pull it off. Even if Groce came back idk if we would’ve waited for Tavari and Amani’s court cases to happen unlike what we ended up doing. Back in March I don’t think anyone had the idea they’d all be back like this.

I’ll miss Groces interviews. He’s super open and real in them and I always went out of my way to listen to them. I’m sure Fords will grow on me too

Yeah but can you imagine if we had Tavari, Amani and Eric back? Wow.

An all timer for Tavari efficiency wise. Very excited to see how what Charleston can do. I’ll always root for Groce. Damn you Flo sports

It’s just the fear the roo logo with “Akron basketball” or something similar on it

I want to see if he shoots well from deep.

I'm curious when Max Burton will be available to play. And if Cody Head will ever play.

Given the school's lack of financial commitment, an new head coach needs to be a guy that can whip up interest and financial support. It's pretty clear that the JoMo doesn't have the interest in or the ability to do so.

At this point, I don’t really care if JoeMo is here next year or not. The university is clearly not willing to step up the support for the program while he is here. With that said, nothing is going to change if financial commitment isn’t stepped up for whoever’s next. Lastly, it’s easy to blame coaches, but the players deserve plenty as well.

I don’t have much to say about this game, so I’m mostly going to speak in general terms. It was pretty clear that WMU is one of the most physical teams in the conference and has more depth than we do. They may be the best team we’ve played outside of the power conference opponents. About the only way to beat this year’s WMU squad is to get ahead early and force them to throw the ball. Otherwise, they just punish teams on the ground. If we played that game ten times, I’m honestly not sure we’d win more than once. And I can’t confidently say we’d even win that one. Offensively, I thought we were mostly manhandled along the line of scrimmage. CB made a few beautiful throws, but the overall performance was otherwise unimpressive. Our backs and receivers did what they could, but it’s hard to do much when you only have the ball for maybe a fourth of the game. Defensively, we again saw a rough performance from our secondary. I thought the defensive line and linebackers played well at times, but they looked fatigued as the game wore on. PFF had us down for 14 missed tackles, but I would guess there were more than that. I didn’t think effort was the problem. It was more a combination of poor technique, alignment, angles, and fatigue that ultimately did us in. The good news is that the next two games are winnable. Whether we actually win them is a different story.
