  1. I don't know how you can consider Taylor Currie a "presumed non-returner" based on what we saw this year. We DIDN'T see him this year -- and no one seems to know WHY! Could coaches simply be holding him back anticipating his maturation for the future? I have no idea -- but I can't simply guess that a former high-major recruit is suddenly a bust in the MAC!
  2. Who gonna spill da beans?
  3. Somehow, some way, we have to find a way to create turnovers, or interrupt Buffalo's offensive flow. And -- as one poster on the UB board said -- Lil Loren gotta both score AND kick to the corners to create three-point opportunities. Trimble and Jackson have BOTH gotta have scoring streaks and get us around 14/15 treys as a team. And the bench...Marshall last night. Either him or Dawson has to contribute tonight and deny Canada the second chance shot. Play as the underdog and #StealitBack. This team had it stolen from them last year. Steal it back this year in CLE. Home court!
  4. We want to be playing at 7:30 EST (2:30 in the islands) the next two games (knock on koa wood). Go get it. 🏀🏆
  5. Nice, but I really want to see a Jackson-on-Jackson MACC game! Get that 13 seed, BABY!!
  6. Plowden is the only starter to score so far. That speaks TONS!
  7. Yes, a certain Iowa transfer no longer in the 9-man rotation. Sad but true.
  8. 8-0. Nice start! 🤷‍♂️
  9. At halftime I think ESPN had Toledo as a 87.2% favorite! No more!
  10. Watched the women's game last week. Looked like a student section. Or maybe players distributing tix to friends??
  11. Will the New Mexico St game from last season ever be rescheduled? I ask this after noticing the Aggies will be playing Hawaii TWICE this season -- home and away! 🥴 Never heard of such a thing! 🙃
  12. If someone isn't interested in the remainder of the MAC season because the Zips are out then hit the back button. This is going to be a great tournament! For those who don't follow, CMU, Buffalo and Ohio each feature an all-America caliber player on really exciting teams. And Bowling Green managed to get the top seed yet!! Any of those teams are capable of making the Sweet 16 or beyond. I can't wait to see some of this #MACtion!!! https://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/2021/03/check-out-the-bracket-for-the-2021-mac-womens-basketball-tournament.html
  13. 3-0 final for Bowling Green. Disappointing result for home opener. I think we beat this opponent at First Energy last time, in 2019, right? Story says game temp = 28°. I don't want to think about that number. 😉 It did look like a skating rink out there at times. https://gozips.com/news/2021/3/4/womens-soccer-akron-falls-to-bowling-green-in-season-opener.aspx
  14. Two RS (Yet first year) freshmen, Emma Tecca and Layne Ferrell (who played 39 of 40 minutes) have moved from the far end of the bench at the start of the year to starters as they close. Along with Soph Lo Brewer those three represent the next four years for Akron. Hopefully this shows the youngsters finally coming into their own, and the team developing a chemistry. They had to dig deep to beat this really good Ohio team with raw talent. First game between the teams was a 30-point blowout in Appalachia. Cierra Hooks is a special player, who could play ANYWHERE. But they only have a 6-player lineup -- that's why they're not on top of the MAC. Our depth was a big part of holding them off Wednesday. Hope the team can keep this emotion going to CLE.
  15. Watching the Zips women play Bowling Green on Zips Digital Net. Seems BG has a bit more talent -- they're usually near the top of the MAC, but Zips are holding their own. I notice we are starting a different goalkeeper than 2019's MAC Freshman of the Year. Anyone have an opinion on our women's team? They definitely seem to be improving.
  16. Furious comeback can't please furious fans!
  17. Justin Turner Overdrive.
  18. Akron 3 for 10 from beyond the stripe in first half. Fewest attempts in a half this year?
  19. Correction: CAREER. Of course that will happen when you double high and leave him completely uncovered underneath the hoop!
  20. Turnovers: BeeGee 5 Akron 2
  21. Come on Groce. Put Taylor Currie in to defend the Big Cat! lol
  22. ESPN's game preview concludes with this para. This gotta change: DID YOU KNOW: The Bowling Green offense has recorded a turnover on only 14.3 percent of its possessions, which is the fourth-lowest rate in the nation. The Akron defense has forced opposing teams to turn the ball over on just 17.4 percent of all possessions (ranked 282nd among Division I teams).
  23. Well...they must be surprising somebody! 🤷‍♂️
  24. Damnit, it was 9am for me! 😧
