NWAkron

The Huskies nailed Canada last year in DeKalb. It's like DeKalb is below sea level or something. All good teams slow down.

Tempted to drive to Ravenna to cheer on that directional Michigan school as they take on Pinky and the Golden Flushes of Portage County Community College. Pinky is 8 point favorite. Hmm.

NWAkron was "all in" from the beginning.

All I could find in the ABJ coverage of the game was one stock photo of Groce and a small article. I think I saw GT at the game. Maybe the late finish didn't make deadline for the print edition. Muncie paper did a bit better https://www.thestarpress.com/story/sports/college/ball-state/2020/01/11/akron-basketball-beats-ball-state-mid-american-conference/4440595002/ https://gozips.com/sports/mens-basketball This has a super interview with X and LCJ. LCJ is class act. He mentioned how Sayles came in for a few minutes, got a rebound, and a slam and changed the game. I think GT said that's the loudest the crowd has been during the Groce era. I was surprised myself how quickly everyone was on their feet. Also, there are some highlights and you can see Reese's dunk and his reaction after that led to the T.

That's quite a superlative. The most bizarre? How so? Like going on the Ball State fan page and reading things like: "They are not THAT good. We can beat them in Cleveland." "This could be our only conference loss." "They are clearly on another level. We don’t really have a chance against them if we see them in Cleveland." "It seems like there's always someone in the East who's "on another level" compared to us. For awhile it was Kent State, recently it was Buffalo, now it appears to be Akron." "We can win the west. But Akron right now is superior, and Kent might be too." "It's like recruiting has consequences or something."

Could listen to them interview X all day. That guy is COOL!

I believe!

To the refs it is apparently.

Yuck. Zips slowed it down and bad things happen.

Reece is really jacked up and excited. I saw that coming.

Whitford. Timeout at 16.01. trying to stifle momentum

First few minutes of half should tell the tale.

Whitford is a poor man's Bobby Hurley

Back in it. Should have taken the 3 at the end. Crowd was on its feet

Oh god. The cannon

Scoring at will. No inside game. Long night. Game over. There goes that at large bid. Zips played two crappy MAC teams. This is real.

27% shooting. 6 turnovers.

Zips aren't ready for this higher quality opponent. That's for sure

Which unfortunately Canada is winning. Average to above average crowd at moment

would be nice to have this type of crowd tonight.

Not sure the po Not sure the point if all this discussion other than we are all bored waiting for 9pm to come around. I can only go on his words that he offered in post game interview with Frenchy in which he said he wants to take over his father's school when he leaves. Sounds like he sees his future in coaching. Hes part of Groces leadership council. If he wants to go that route hes in a good spot here. He appeared to not get along with Ivey but didn't pout and leave because the coach made him share playing time with Jimond. Hes a mature guy who can be the leader and star next year and bring along Tribble. Eman and Utomi didn't fit in and no other decent program was going to take Ivey and his ego.

Saving all my "Reactions" for later. But, unless Akronzips71 tells me differently, I really like our chances for an at large bid!!

Funny that while inebriated he knows difference between "too" and "to" but not "there" and "their."

Do you have a side job raining on parades?
