Dayton I don't see having a path to an at-large, but I wish they did. It would be hilarious watching Miami play Dayton in Dayton.

It's probably worth noting we also kind of took the air out of the ball during Buffalo when we had our large lead. Partially why UB was able to get back into the game. We weren't spending a ton of energy walking it up and then dribbling it for another 5-10 seconds before settling into out offense.

Yes, Miami seems to be committing some serious money to athletics now. They might have been bad before, but who knows what they committed to funding and how that compared to Akron.

I wouldn't mess up with what works. IMO I like the fact Halligan starts. It allows us to better stagger our minutes so that we have a fresh guard coming off the bench at the first media timeout. I agree Halligan shorter play time is probably both a combination of injury and shortening the bench because of elimination games.

For you degens out there watching basketball all day. Cheering for both Charlotte and Ole Miss is the play. Both of those teams would almost certainly be seeded behind Akron if they win their conference auto bid. That might be enough to slide Akron up to an 11 seed from a 12.

Yes, I feel realization is setting in for him that he can't elevate Kent's program to where Akron is currently. His only hope is Akron regressing. I actually thought he coached Kent well and had a solid game plan to disrupt Akron offensively yesterday. Jack's and Joe's just beat X's and O's.

Your like reminded me about this. I just put it on and it's true to size. It's very comfortable and breathable. I could definitely see myself wearing this during chilly summer mornings or evenings.

Thanks for the response. I'll keep that in mind. The last time I went to watch an Akron game at Barley was the tournament game against VCU. I just wasn't impressed with their setup and given the complaints I read earlier in the year when they were hosting viewing parties it doesn't sound like much has improved.

I'm probably not going to make the game tonight. We didn't get home until close to midnight and the future Mrs. had to turn around and be up by 6AM for work. She works again tomorrow morning as well. Any bars in the Canton/Akron area you guys recommend to watch the game. It seems many, particularly on a Saturday night, play jukebox music. Any establishments that you know of that play game audio?

We can't be the team that allows Toledo to end their nearly half a century drought. Their fans will only become more insufferable than they already are.

I'll let you know when I try it on. From the naked eye it looks the size I expected.

Akron opens as -7.5 vs Toledo.

Just feels weird the coach is negotiating for a new job while his team is about to play a semifinal matchup with their season on the line.

I will +1 on Bowen. I actually thought he played smart and composed. Didn't really rush anything and made the right plays.

I just checked my mailbox after returning from the game. My FTR hoodie arrived. I can confirm it is indeed black. Looking forward to wearing it tomorrow.

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if he has 2 dozen high major offers. Assuming he has eligibility.

Now that all the Kent fans are leaving I can finally breath out of my noise.

I can probably count on 1 hand the number of times the refs have given credit for the Zips drawing a charge this season.

That double clutch Scott 3 early in shot clock was particularly terrible. You know he instantly had mind made he was going to shoot before thinking about it.

Kent's been the more physical team the 2nd half. I said that was their only pathway to win. Akron needs to match their level of physicality.

Time to respond with a run of our own.

Outside of Young picking up 3 fouls, not much to complain about in the 1st half. I agree we've been waiting too late into the shot clock. Luckily both Tavari and Scott are capable of making shots in those situations.

Makes sense why they are. Can't afford to go into the half down 15+. Need to capitalize though and get a 3rd on 1-2 of them.
