JG teams have overachieved since he’s been at Akron.The best player on the team is a walk on.The problem with Akron is strength & conditioning along with recruiting a serviceable big.The Zips run out of gas to oftentimes like yesterday and tonight.
If winning a MAC championship is overachieving, that's good enough for me

Why is everyone so negative? Sure, they will lose, but it’s not like Akron is the only MAC team to load up with tough out of conference games. No doubt that big paydays can help a program struggling for cash. The biggest negative in my mind is that it seriously hurts their chance to gain bowl eligibility.
I honestly like playing OSU, it at least gives us the opportunity to see Akron football on the biggest local stage we can. But playing 3 P5s on the road and 1 FCS school at home doesn't make me excited for next season. If Kentucky was never going to come here to play I would us much rather us play another G5 at home. Two years in a row with 5 home games, at least 2 of those are week night games. As a regular fan it just looks bad (right now), if the team goes 6-6 next year I won't complain

True road game to a solid opponent after that tournament. Need a good showing in this one

0 threes made in the second half. 5-21 overall, not doing yourself a lot of favors like that

Thinking about it, shouldn’t we actually be 5th place? There’s is a team in the losers bracket that went 2-1, but just happened to lose first

Akron challenge: Do better than 1-2 on a November tournament. Impossible

Thornton can’t make a free throw but makes the sideways fadeaway 27 footer

Our one chance at a decent crowd next year gone, especially with the Wagon Wheel on the road

He also spent much of the previous 15 months criticizing Ali and saying the team was better without him...
I'd say the main weakness on this team is they lack a LCJ or Castaneda type guard who can both create his own shot and create offense for others at an All-MAC level. Ali, while not the elite facilitator like the previous others I mentioned, has the ability to both create his shot and create open looks for others. Having him at the forward position should help ease some of those responsibilities from the guards.
Again, he has to do both or this team doesn't improve. Really interested to see what version Ali we will see eventually.
Nate Johnson might be the best chance we have at a guy that can create his own shot like the previous two. He has a good outside shot, it just needs to find him more often beyond the arc.

Today's Kenpom has made some movement with the top 4 in the Caymans

87. Utah State
91. Akron
97. Drake (Huge drop down)

Oh dang the real feed froze? I thought it was just my unethical feed

Gotta get a momentum shift play on the offensive end

Thornton missing 2 layups, geez

Let’s go Shammah!

Tavari needs to just set up the offense instead of driving the ball with two guys on him

On the radio they said Len Paul is the last guy to do it

A key tonight definitely has to be free throws. Going 15-25 from the line in a tournament like this with good talented competition usually wouldn't end well

The horrors of the Gulf Coast Showcase. That game against Evansville where they finally won was even hard to watch. The KJ Walton quit game.The quality of the broadcast for the that tournament was wildly worse than the Caymans, and on the same ridiculous service

Many “Austin Peay’s” have bitten us in the past. Ohio States, Fordhams. I was surprised, but not shocked, when Joe Dunn first mentioned this as a possibility last week. 2013 team started 0-1 with an OT loss to a bad Coastal team to open their new arena. 2012 started something like 3-5. 2020 lost at WVU in game 2.2021-22 title team started 2-3 with no D-1 win in that stretch
