no one can make a bloody bucket!

#25 is a liability

someone else needs too step up though

We can still win, ten points is nothing!!!

If they aren't going to score, they could at least play defense and rebound for Jackson

LCJ - A+ Supporting cast - F-

no they aren't

Gee whiz, this is turning into a whirlwind of despair

Can't rebound or defend the bucket. Shots starting to fall!!

Danny Pippen has been at kent for eons!!

This game is on CBSSN right!? I took advantage of the FuboTV pass; thanks @RowdyZip btw!!

Kenpom ranks us #125 and them #149.. two evenly matched teams!! this should be a good one!

Oh wow, sudden change of events. In my opinion, Kent and Buffalo are going to be our toughest matchups in the Mac. If we win tomorrow we will unquestionably be the team-to-beat.

Hopefully it'l be on reddit or sportsurge. If so, I'll send out a link. If not I'm SOL unless one of the bars plays the game.

Happy Holidays all!! Hopefully this game isn't anything more than a tune-up game. The Zips are clearly the better of the two teams, I'd like to see them sure up some things up (esp defense down low). This teams Achilles heal is going to be their rim protection OR playing down to their opponents level. I believe JG is the best coach in the MAC so he'll address these vulnerabilities asap and maybe turn them into a strengths.

I'll take CMU over Buffalo any day, especially early!! Zips are vulnerable down low and Buffalo's center is a beast. We're well coached, JG will have our guys ready for Buffalo when the time arrives.

GREAT GAME!! TESTAMENT TO OUR PLAYERS AND COACHING STAFF!!!

ohhhh now he's the best player in the conference.. mhmm

I 100% agree!!. In fact, I found it somewhat disingenuous & biased that the announcers talked about the Ohio kid for POY over Jackson. LCJ already has 14, I hope he drops 30 to spite the 'objective' commentary.

Great start. Bench is into it, all standing and applauding!! Camaraderie finally appears to be jelling

Not a fan of the pink jerseys

Good morning Zips fans - & more importantly, happy game day!! Have a good feeling about this one. 77-74 Akron

I think this one will be closer than expected. I'd like to believe the Malone game was a case and point example of playing down to your opponent's level. We have a lot of former D1 - power five guys on the team. It's easy to see how they could overlook an opponent like Malone. If we had shot better than 6-32 from three and had a better transitional defense, The Zips may be undefeated. When it comes down to it, I think this team will be ready. I still think Akron is the team to beat in the MAC until proven otherwise.

Didn't even know the Zips were playing today aha. Looks like LCJ & Freeman saved us from an embarrassing upset. It's early but I miss banks, cheese, and X. We'll get better with time; we're well coached under JG.

Shots will fall eventually; just need to sure up the defense!
