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.

I think this might be our most complete game yet. The fact that we dominated a full 40 minutes in a true road game in Athens is awesome to watch.

Now that was funny as a final comment from the announcers. They saw Connor Groce with that big head of hair and wondered what happened with his dad. They surmised that it might have been like space jam where Connor was like a Monstar and stole all the the hair from his dad. 😂

Please...please...please...no let up tonight.

Highlight video 👆

Tavari - 24 points in 29 minutes, without a three pointer (he only shot one), and was 10-13 from the floor. Wow. Thats what senior leadership looks like. Ohio might want to take note.

Umass wins at Buffalo. Now the bulls are out of the top 8. Just weird

Amani Lyles effort!!

Still a lot of basketball left. We need to quit with these ticky tack fouls to put them at the line. The Halligan foul was particularly a terrible time to foul.

That’s a half!

That ship long sailed. It's more G5 competing against other G5 for the honor of lossing by 3+ TDs in 1st round of CFP.

Zips get the national game in the MAC- Sunbelt challenge!

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.

CBS has a triple header today, with Wally Szczerbiak as a commentator. Guess what is a big topic of conversation.

Actually, i have a beautiful salt and pepper head of hair. But thanks for caring.

I'm more concerned with his mom!

I've never met you but it sounds like youre bald. 😉

Frank Martin is what a school gets when they either have no imagination or nobody else wants the job. He had two really good years at SC then the wheels fell off the bus. His time at Kansas State was average. His time at UMass is bad. They should fire him.

It was my hot take that both Todd K and Boals would be canned by the end of the year. We will see if either happen

I’m still hoping Barre can return and stay healthy so we can maximize our potential heading down the stretch.

As good as we played tonight, I still think this team has room for improvement. We did not shoot the ball well from three and we gave up 10 offensive rebounds. It appeared to me we rebounded better in the first half and we had numerous players crashing the boards. Also, we only shot 76% from the foul line. I thought Ohio had a lot of open looks from three but could not make the shots. Tavari was just unstoppable tonight. Lyles also had another strong game, especially on the boards and around the basket. Also, I have noticed when a team goes on a run, a player will just shut it down. Scott made a contested three and the lead shot up from 14 to 17. It seems all season that when a team mounts a comeback an Akron player will make a difficult shot even where there is good defense.

I just took a look at their message board and it’s…not good lol.

You can't spell lousy without OU!

I know we controlled the whole game, but the crowd was not as rowdy as usual. More to your point that Boal’s seat might be getting warm.

Lets go! 2/4 on this tough stretch, Jam the Jar on Tuesday!

I’ll take a comfortable road kill in Athens all day! Wonder how Ohio fans are feeling about Boal. Doesn’t seem to be “the guy”.

I can't ever be negative about Jeff Boals. He was a great guy at Akron.

I think Simmons has regressed!

Javan Simmons is the exact player he was when he first played at Toledo. Meanwhile, Amani has worked hard and vastly improved his game.

Why are the lights at their arena so bad?

Interviewing Travis Steele at halftime. Since we're at OU - Muck Fiami!

The rich will get richer. An Akron patch will go for little compared to what a P4 top 20 team patch will cost. I see the gap between the G5 and P4 just got larger.

Major props to Dabo for putting this trash out in the open.

I’m in Columbus for work later today and planning to make the quick hour-and-15 drive southeast. First game at OU, catch me behind the UA bench

Not fully, but enough.

But what are they gonna do with the other 1,000 shirts? 😆
