Even outside of the stat sheet, it's hard for me to see what they bring. All I see is offensive turnovers, ill-timed fouls, and lackadaisical defense.

Drake, Wright State, and Murray State are all solid mid-major, but those are the types of teams you should try to schedule H&H with. These neutral court tournaments are the type of games we should be looking to play the Louisville and WVU of the world as this provides us the best opportunity at getting those wins.

Interesting use of the word rebound in the title considering that's something we're struggling with...

Akron's playing better on the road than at home during conference play.

Willie Jackson is 6'6 and is leading the MAC in rebounding at 12.4 rebounds per game, which last I checked also had him 3rd in the nation. Mballa, who killed us on the glass, is 6'7. Height isn't the issue. Riak, at 6'10, had 3 inches of height on Mballa. Buffalo didn't out rebound us because they're taller, they're not. They out rebounded us because they did a better job at getting into position and boxing out. Our rebounding woes isn't a height issue. It's a technique and effort issue.

I would have liked to have seen him honestly. It wouldn't have hurt to at least give him a chance.

Where is game #21? ?

Yep, players not named LCJ shot a combined 3/20 from 3 and Reece got 1 rebound in ~15 minutes of play, but only Riak can be blamed for the loss. You win and lose as a team. There was plenty of blame to go around tonight. At the end of the day we need to move past this and focus on going 1-0 vs Kent Friday.

What's the alternative? Reece played 15-20 min and had 1 rebound.

5 of those 6 makes were 3 balls and he was 11 for 11 from the charity stripe. Overall his ts% was still solid even though his fg% might not look so great at first glance.

Honestly, we should have lost by a lot more. We got to do a better job at boxing out.

I think you misspelled LCJ.

We're not going to win this unless Buffalo starts missing free throws.

Let's get Cheese back in this game.

At halftime Groce should just leave the Zips on the court to practice shooting.

A lot of our misses aren't even close.

What an ugly game so far for both teams.

Try exiting out of the app then getting back in.

@clarkwgriswold is bad at math.

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, but I'm not sure if this is that big of a loss for YSU. YSU hasn't been relevant at the FCS level since Bo's second season and even then those players would have been the previous coaches recruits. In fact, the best they have finished in the past 3 years is 6th place in their conference. Him leaving sounds like an opportunity for them to go out and get a guy who can get them back to contending more regularly.

We're up to #12 in college insiders poll. https://www.collegeinsider.com/mens-mid-major-top-25.php

It was a bit too cheesy for my liking

In other news the sky is blue and grass is green... It would have been criminal had he not gotten it this week. He averaged 27.5 points and 4 assists while shooting 70% from the field and 78.6% from 3.

Sayles, Dawson, and Ali have combined to only shoot the ball 56 times all season. Tribble seems like the only guy looking to score and has done it well when he actually decides to shoot. He's making nearly 48% of his shots. I think part of it might just be that LCJ, Xeyrius, Cheese, and Banks are just shooting the ball so well that the goal is to get those guys to shoot the rock as much as possible. There was a lot of hype about Dawson, but he looks a long ways away from becoming a meaningful contributor this season.

Pinky benched his entire starting lineup for the start of the game. Buffalo starters were getting outplayed by Kent's bench. Both these teams suck.
