yeah, I wasn't serious. Zips would be lucky to have such a problem.
-
Yeah, but what about seeding in the Big Dance? Looking at a 15 now.
-
I guess there was a reason KD didn't schedule these type of games. What a waste of a chartered flight. Other "cough" top tier MAC teams are winning some games and making some strides. Zips utter collapse. I can't believe it's all because of Ali and Dawson. Lose by 30?
-
there's that, too. It was so bad and so fast it was like a blur. couldn't tell who was doing what to whom.
-
I'm wondering if Tavari isn't causing some continuity issues. Those first few possessions there was some pretty selfish play from him with no results. Does Groce give him the green light to take quick shots? Taking quick shots and just running around with no focus is like Whitford's Ball State teams.
-
Reminds me of 2018-2019 when Ohio U took Akron "to the woodshed" at home in late February/early March. That team couldn't win on the road. Zips have NIU at home...probably a win and then off to Muncie followed by at BG. These guys won't win either of those games.

Oy vey.
-
Can I be "let down" at this point?
-
Turned it off. I'm done. Hope they make a top 8 in MAC. But Kent, toledo, OU, and Ball St are going to crush these guys.
-
Never seen a Groce team so out of control. Is he trying something new?
-
Saw on Instagram a few photos of the guy boarding the private plane at Akron/Canton.
-
Christmas in Peoria.
-
Yes, a general early season malaise that will quickly turn around with more games like last night. Better being let down in December (See John Groce page 32) than in March (see Keith Dambrot page 20, 21, 23 and Footnote 8).
-
I sensed that even during the last game when he made some 3s. I knew it was a one-off streak. He hit three in a row and the rest of the night they were bricks. Same tonight.
-
And that wasn't for the 3 pointer he just made.
-
After Freemans last basket, Groce turned to bench and went "Wow"
-
Awesome "play" between X, Nate, and Hank.
-
If it's Monday, it's Bangor.

After reading LoyalZips post earlier, I thought basically the same thing. Two words: "let down" in both verb and adjective form. The team has let down the fans and the fans feel let down after the crazy and exciting season last year. It's hard to keep that excitement rolling when this team is clunking 3s and going 6 of 15 from the line on any given night.
-
Zips 12 point favorites.
-
Toledo gave up 100 against Marshall. Miami "gets a signature road win" against Bellarmine? Lairy had 30. Ball State looking solid with win over Illinois State.
-
OT to this thread, but I have the upcoming Bradley game noted in my head as a must win on the road. My only fear is that Groce's Zips will have trouble winning on the road this season. The first 4 of 6 MAC games are away with the game in Muncie looming large.
-
Agree. When folks are interested enough, they show up and find their way through the labyrinth that is Akron. One can park one's car relatively close and walk right in. You want inconvenient, go to an Ohio State basketball game.
-
If anyone wonders what a Filipovity looks like:
-
crowd that was there was pretty enthused and very excited for Hunter. T Johnson had a few LCJ moves (minus the head jerk). As others have said, having Freeman out causes all sorts of line up problems.
