They are going cold. Deng is offering nothing. He doesn't make himself open.

Risk, X, Tribble, Cheese, and LCJ on the floor.

Some Kent player here

Here and very excited. Recharge rewind of the NC Central game isn't doing it for me. They should show highlights from that Akron/Marshall football game .

He's no Offut, Cooper, or Bassett. Groce may keep hoping and thinking that he will be, but he's not going to develop a consistent shot at this stage in his career.

Lazy and sloppy. LCJ chucking the early 3 is just lazy, sloppy basketball. Banks chucking a 3 and shortening a possession under 2 minutes was just lazy and sloppy. I think that Reece and Williams want to work out there but LCJ and Banks weren't willing to put in the effort.

LCJ makes free throws and that keeps him in the game at the end. One ref called and offensive foul on LCJ when he did one of his "half-flops." that was good to see. Reece played much better at WVU.

I saw a group of players who were just screwing around. they never lost the lead, and they figured they could dial it in like arrogant jocks.

LCJ needs to sit out a few games.

LCJ is like 0 for 10 and not even close . Reminds me of Kwan...just grimace when he shoots a 3

Groce likes his teams to peak in March /s

Open shots. As usual, missing them. And NCC is the turnover machine we expected.

Yuck. 27-15 at half. Started out promising

Oh. Zips gone cold.

Zips?

I was thinking it was better crowd than most of these early games. Riak doesn't like to go to the basket does he?

right, and meanwhile the Zips have some business to take care of.

Who won the first match? Looks like the Mountaineers

you need that style to win in the tourney as a high-seed. i watched a bit of it, and in the second half they started sinking the 3s.

I think you crossed the Rubicon and or touched the third rail in posting that. ?

So can someone enlighten me on why these two are better for us than some of the guys that are going to Miami or CMU or wherever? I.E. are we just liking these guys simply because they are committing to Akron? I'm certain they must be buying into Groce's system and be a good fit with the team. But is there something these two uniquely offer?

I'm more nervous than excited.

Any publicity is good publicity! When they finally win, it will be big news!

I appreciate reading those positive notes. Those 14 points should have been on the first two possessions.

I"m only searching for answers. Basketball is so much easier to understand. I could look at the team Groce had the first year and see what was missing and what was going wrong. I've never professed to have any football acumen, but, damn, this is hard for me to figure out. I like that you gave some positives. I went out there tonight, and it was a miserable experience, and I left angry and pissed off (and I've sat through all sorts of weather conditions for Zips games). I would like to hear an honest assessment from the coach and AD on what is wrong and what is the game plan. They at least owe that to that 57 fans who went out there tonight. And they owe it to the band who no one sees play and the cheerleaders no one sees cheer and the dance team no one sees dance.
