https://www.beaconjournal.com/sports/20200221/with-five-games-left-zips-control-their-destiny-in-mac All this talk about seedings and hoping certain teams beat other teams, then this article pops up tonight. One game at a time. The blue-blooded eastern division of the MAC will be feeding on each other the next five games. Can't overlook any of them.

Kent's best player was out with back spasms.

Well they would have extra day off. No?

Double OT in Streetsboro

Overtime in Brimfield.

Kent without Pippen. Graves hot from 3. Canada up by 2.

PCCC pathetic tonight

The women's team has won two in a row and they aren't in the bottom 4 but still...

Lame to make Zips/WV rematch

Canada at Rootstown State tomorrow night. Wouldn't mind if Pinky handed the Bulls another loss.

But he missed. Had he made it...only would have tied.

Regghi and Windon are head and shoulders above the rest

Attention seeking much? Took his ball and went home. He knew he was coming back when he left I'm sure.

Enough of the gun girl already. Noticed last night and watching Toledo/BG game that the MAC refs are calling Flowers and Marreon Jackson for pushing their legs out on the 3s.

https://www.westernherald.com/sports/article_e9564524-533f-11ea-91cf-cb7fa2b4a964.html Quality article by a writer with good basketball knowledge. Amazing, WMU gets this type of good coverage during a really bad season for them.

Buffalo #1 in rebounding. Akron is low in that category.

ESPN has the correct stats.

Nailed it.

It's tough to make a decision on this until I see how this year's team plays over the next month. I don't think we've had a player with the "coolness" of Tyler Cheese. He reminds me so much of Buffalo's Jeremy Harris. LCJ's performance this year is like nothing I've previously seen on an Akron team. They've had some good players over the years that could shoot the 3 ball but none ever seemed to improve from year to year. Reggie and Jake played the same for four years. Occasionally, they would get hot for a couple games but weren't consistent. McNees and Roberts were somewhat better, but I don't remember Roberts making the big play other than from the FT line. Bosley, Andrick, Ball, and the Hipshers are my earliest memories and that is a blur.

We (mostly @ClarkGriswold) are getting greedy. We want those double digit wins even on the road!. Without X or Channel not making 3s consistently, these are and will be 1-2-3 possession games. Sigh.

blech.
