Masterclass in weathering the storm and unleashing TEAMISM.

Such an uncharacteristic fact for a Groce squad. REALLY loving this run with Freeman on the bench.

Little run here with Freeman NOT on the floor. Very nice to see. Scott, Ali, Tribble, Hunter.

Southern Utah was a top scoring team in the country last season. Todd Simon - their coach at the time - wasn't going to come to BG without finding some scorers. He has done that, and we're screwed if we don't find a way to slow the game down and make our shots.

Tavari sighting.

And... We're back in the MAC. 💩 officiating just gave Freeman his 2nd foul on a bail-out call after the 7' dumb butt for BG went baseline and got stuck under the basket. What an atrocious, game changing call.

Good luck beating anyone if Freeman is doubled and we aren't making our kick-out shots.

As long as we keep Tibesar and the RB coach, I'm happy.

Holy crap. His high school offer list was amazing.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Akron had a better WR room than Cal as well.

He might've misheard you as he covered his ears and hit the deck during a T-shirt cannon promo.

So do we have a QB commit or not? 😂

Freeman takes Spurgin, Ali/Hunter take Agee. Tribble/Dawson take Hill. The only mismatch in this game is a guard who can score vs an entire backcourt that can't. If we play solid D and get Freeman/Ali going, Akron wins. If we let Hill go off and can't get Freeman/Ali going, we probably lose.

Rank / Previous / School / Conference / Record / Road / Neutral / Home / Quad 1 / Quad 2 / Quad 3 / Quad 4 92 122 Akron MAC 7-4 3-1 1-3 3-0 0-1 0-3 4-0 3-0 Two of the Quad 2 losses are wins with Ali Ali. The Zips are very well prepared for the ever-stagnant, atrocious MAC. What a pathetic, pee poor conference with inept "leadership".

Anything from Prather that showed promise?

Just wanted to say congrats to us as fans tonight as we won't have to have eye surgery tomorrow after watching a game at NIU.

Yup that's him. That would make sense.

Kamron Payne from the Dayton area posted on his IG that he committed. His mom posted it in the Akron Football Fans Facebook group. I know absolutely nothing about him. Maybe @catdaddyp can shed some light.

And an offensive line.

Joe Labas and Ty Thompson?

We scored 61 pts yesterday, with Scott & Thornton going a combined 2-6 from the field and 0-4 from 3. I know Ali Ali went 7-17 from the field and 4-9 from 3, but there's still plenty of room for scoring from the guards. Scott misses way too many 3s with his line drive shot. They're both solid defensively, so it's a bit easier to live with the lack of offensive contributions, but I can't give them anything better than a C+/B- grade. HUGE swing and a miss by Groce to not have a scorer in here to replace X2.0. We have 1 Q1 loss and 3 Q2 losses. All but 1 of those losses are single possession defeats, all 4 are road/neutral site losses, and all 4 came without Ali Ali. Eye test says we're the best team in the MAC. We now enter MAC play with a chance to prove the eye test is accurate.

Was he anywhere to be found for the Akron game?

It's Groce. G-R-O-C-E. If you're going to be an ass, use proper spelling. Groce doesn't "over-coach". The succession rate of the plays he calls during timeouts can be questioned, but that's an execution issue - not an over-coaching issue. We are lacking guard play, you are correct, which means Groce should absolutely be calling timeouts to draw up plays and make sure the team is on the same page. If you have a solid floor general, those timeouts aren't as necessary. The name of the game is putting the ball in the hoop more often than your opponent. We simply didn't do that. One of the guards needs to figure out how to step up as a scorer next to Freeman, Ali Ali, and Tribble. We were right there at the end with one of the most experienced teams in the country. Pretty good showing that will sharpen our March iron. You should worry about scoring more than 3 points against Missouri; leave the Akron criticism to us Akron fans.
