Have this amazing team with longest win streak in country which should continue Tuesday, and we are worried about home and home with CSU. First world problems as they say😇

Akron now has longest win streak in country at 11 (a bunch at 10). Akron, Southern, and Yale only teams undefeated in conference play.

Miami, whom Akron crushed, has one loss in the MAC. Be above average, and can cruise through the conference for the most part.

Would, could, should. That's the past. The win streak is the past. Next game up.

You won't see a Noah v Antino feud under Groce.

Wishing the season away...now I know.

Watched some of the Coastal Carolina game and couldn't determine if S.A. was really good or C.A. was really bad. Why not both? That 1 3 1 zone was crazy to watch. The Jaguars moved like a windshield wiper on high speed as the ball moved from side to side. If Zips are quicker, they can get the open looks. Win streaks comes to an end and if history repeats that will likely be on Saturday. But with this group of guys I just don't know.

No more bracket busters? what about a mid season Home and Home with Villanova?🫢

Impressed by Zips resilience. When they climbed ahead in 2nd half by 4 I knew and Mike Lewis likely knew that was ball game. But for some missed 3s and that foul as the game closed Zips may have beat the spread.

uh oh. fear and loathing at the JAR. I still see 13.5. CMU was up then down now back up again

https://akronzippedup.substack.com/p/zips-mens-basketball-weekly-update-752 Excellent round up of this week's action from Zipped Up. Cool commentary on Tavari and Nate.

Western Michigan has the billionaire Stryker family. One insignificant check from them would rebuild that program immediately.

Ghost of Greg Tribble. Was for a tie

Glass is always half empty in some corners.

Groce is the greatest Akron Zips basketball coach ever. I will pat myself on the back and say I've been in his camp from Day 1. At Ohio, he took the Zips out twice in Cleveland. 4-0 in MAC titles. And, yes, he's benefiting from the financial help of Wentz BUT that benefit wouldn't be coming if Groce wasn't the coach he is. Wentz and others wouldn't throw that kind of $ at Boals or Lewis. This current group of players are solid and mature. Any MAC team would start Gray, Okonkwo, either Johnson, or Seth Wilson. I remember early in season Seth Wilson was benched. He was out of shape. A few weeks later Wilson was starting. Groce mentioned in the post game show that Wilson knocked off some bad habits. He's now a massive presence.

Will be at game this evening. Misery but classic NCAA atmosphere. Kent gets hot from 3 this will get dicey fast.

good one!

Thx. As I said, a weary world awaits.

Anyone know what's going on with NIU's non-football teams? Throw out everything for the Akron/PCCC game. Unpredictable.

Kittens got nothing left.

These guys have been playing so well and hard. Tough trip and turn around for Friday. Good win. But...we know the rest

Burn the tape. Wake up call before Friday. Zips will lose in the MAC eventually, prefer not at NIU.

Announcers pointing out the lack of a viable back up big.
