Given the time in the school schedule, time of day, and weather forecast. There is no reason for there not to be a big student crowd. Students shouldn’t be going home this weekend with Thanksgiving break at the back end of the week. A team ranked #14 you think should be exciting enough for some rowdies to show up. Hopefully they do
We are the 14th seed which is actually the highest seed Akron has been in 8 years. Only been seeded once in that time it was 2022 against Pitt as the 16 seed.

Georgia Southern, Gardner Webb, San Francisco, Rutgers, VCU out
Notre Dame, St Johns, Kentucky, Grand Canyon, Syracuse, Washington in
Little bit of P4 bias

Watching the game I thought Bowen played really well. It seemed like when he took shots they were timely and they went in. After looking at the stats he only went 2/4, but when we play games like this if he can make those looks at a consistent rate it is exactly what we need.
Also I love watching Marvin play, obviously being matched up on a guy almost a foot taller than him rebounding and affecting shots is gonna be an issue. But what I like most about him is that he is just a pest on defense, recorded 2 steals in 13 minutes.
