Akron was definitely feeling the pressure of being the team that had something to lose this past weekend once Miami lost. The script flips on Friday. As we are the team with nothing to lose. we were playing with Purdue and even ahead the first eight minutes of the game before their size overwhelmed us. I don’t think T tech can over power us. with that being said, I don’t think our guards can stop their guards. So it’s gonna be a track meet whoever shoots better wins… I thought the same thing last year against Arizona as they were not a bunch of trees and then they dominated us defensively an shut us down completely.

Texas Tech is very guard heavy on their scoring. With the toppin injury they start a 6’6 guy at PF. I don’t think they can overpower us with size like Purdue. if we shoot 40% from 3 I think we win

I need the 3 peat hat! Does anyone have a link? A coach was in a 3Peat fear the roo collective hat during the celebration. I assume they gotta be selling it to help the collective soon.

I know a long shot but do you think we could ever get a 10k arena downtown Akron. Next to the rubber ducks a lock 3. LeBron could pay and the city could help. Then move the Cleveland charge into that arena and have the zips play there. it would be a UA, charge and concert venue. Creating a stadium district downtown.

MMK is a great free throw shooter he has a good shot. and he had a nice Drive vs NUI. I am on board. He has a chance to be Evan replacement! That is a good call. Anyone with his drive and work ethic can do anything if he puts his mind to it!

As for the bigs we need a starting center. I would love an Amani Clone. Our current bigs don’t have it. But I think they are all viable back up big! Marvin: has heart, rebounding and is improving every game. But is 6’6 and can’t be a starter. Great back up for next season. Barre: has size and athleticism, but is a terrible rebounder and poor hands. He does have decent rim protection. He could improve but that is a risky gamble. Briscoe: has the size and weight. But strength and confidence needs to improve. He can either stay in the program and keep working or transfer if he is tired of waiting.

Game day! This game is always a dog fight. Because Pccc mucks it up. I imagine both teams shoot better. Last game Gillespie and Lyles were no factors due to constant foul trouble. I think that goes in our favor as if the refs swallow the whistle that hurts us. With Whaley back we have to push the ball and create turnovers. Between Scott, young, Hardman and Johnson we need someone to go 4-5 from three.

I think this has loss written all over it. But we live in their heads rent free. We will break their hearts again.

Anyone hear anything or get selected to the Akron fan council thing they posted a couple months ago?

Does anyone know if Freitag is coming back this season. Maybe for a 1-8 match up with Miami?

Thank god for Tavari and Amani. They have 37 of our 46 points. Can they carry us to a road win

Box score from 1st match up. It was close game last time due to 5 for them dropping 30

Most of the away games the local announcers just pee me off how bad they are. These guys are decent! Much more enjoyable game with them. Make them the offical Mac announcers

Feels like a trap game. Johnson had 32 points and 11 for their team had 28.
