Zips beat them twice last year...without fans. But total fail. There are some guys who give negative minutes.

This program is stalled under Groce. 2019-2020 he had his group that was going to make a run. COVID stole that away and since then he's had some recruiting fails and can't put a team together. Don't see anything better next year.

getting punked by a Duquense transfer. Total fail. It's going to be a long road to March. Women's game tomorrow. They seem to be doing well.

Reminds me of OU game. Zips can't get over the hump. Opponent hanging on to a lead. Freeman shoots a 3. Trying to be Kwan? smells of desperation. Typical PCCC. They can beat anyone or lose to anyone, but when you need them to be OU or BG or Buffalo they never do.

Anyone watching Buffalo v Ball State? Ball State is so bad. Zips should have won by 20. I think they are 2 for 20 in 2nd half Uhh...well Whitford regrouped. 11-0 run

Line down to -1.5

That seems odd to me but maybe the home floor for a rivalry game matters. Pinky and boys from Brimfield Barber College are desperate. I expect a lot of cheap, dirty play from them

Lest we forget what the Flushes are all about. When they show you who they are, believe them.

From the last game, Santiago was in warm up gear and walking around. And Mr Pinky is desperate, like a cornered chihuahua, at this point. Expect a lot of hacking and dirty play. Hopefully, Enrique isn't punched in the ribs.

Ravenna Beauty College is -2 favorite. Go figure.

the kangaroo eyes are replacing the Z. Kent tomorrow. Western at home Tuesday. Then off to BG Thursday. Then Stan Heath and the Hurons next Saturday. Going to be a crazy week. Nice Zips get the weekend "off."

Zips need this won and the next 3 against the Michigan schools. Ugh...just saw BG was thrown in there.

Zips missed games away against Miami, BG, and home against NIU. Buffalo moved up to New Years Day, so both of those teams have empty schedule on 2/1. I can't figure out when Akron is going to make up these games. Unless COVID hits Miami, BG, or NIUs opponents on 2/1. thoughts?

Ali may have been coming off COVID. When I watched the replay, the lower bowl looked emptier than it did in person. But I would say significantly more people there last night than at the Ohio game. I shouldn't hate Whitford so much. Because of him, Zips keep beating them. Same with Pinky. I thought the flow of the first half eventually helped the Zips because Ball State, who was playing better, couldn't get any runs or rhythm even though they were benefiting from all the fouls and turnovers. As for some of the fouls, the only one that I thought was bad was the call on Dawson for his 4th foul. Aziz needs to know he will always get called for a foul when he goes over the back trying to rebound a free throw. And BSU, got some cheap away from the ball fouls near end of game.

Beat Toledo but lose to NIU and CMU. Go figure

Castaneda has a Darryl Roberts quality about him, although I don't think Darryl put up 29 points. McNees/Roberts was a killer combo.

Except for foot doctor school, students aren't back to Randolph until Monday.

We all noticed the same stuff. I think Ali was coming off protocol and maybe Aziz. Groce mentioned that u could look at stats and see who has been out. 4 headed monster in X, Dawson, Ali, and Trimble. Dawson is the perfect 6 man. I thought the crowd was pretty good tonight. Saw some of the new football staff and some big, brawny football players...maybe the transfers.

These refs. 3 cheap fouls. It's going to be a rough 4 minutes

Aziz giveth. And taketh away

God I hate Whitford

God I hate Whitford. I've never seen this whistle happy ref before.

Seems like the biggest crowd they've had. But geez...this game.

All these stops and starts are helping Akron I think. Slowing down the game.

On any given Tuesday...
