73-55 with 1:22 left. Wow.

Season-defining win right there. Playing without your #2 scorer, you go on the road to another country and knock off the former Kings of the MAC by 13 for the first time in 7 attempts. We out-rebounded them by 12, and put up 86 on the road. Outstanding effort, composure, and grit to put that one in the WIN column. Congrats to Groce & company on securing a BYE to Cleveland in just his 3rd season at the helm. The MAC is decently deep this year, so that BYE is HUGE.

That's it. I'm getting an I ❤️ LCJ tattoo. He is incredible.

Gotta drive at Mballa and try to get him out of the game.

What a nice defensive play by Ali.

X FOUND THE OCEAN! HE HIT THE BROAD SIDE OF THE BARN!

I'm really impressed with Dawson's rebounding. Great job by the team to stay composed and keep this game close so far. I like the aggressive drives to the basket.

I'm already annoyed. Another slow start, questionable (at best) calls, these announcers suck, and a guy that is rocking a mop for a hairdoo just hit a deep 3 on us. Did Groce not warn the team about eating too much Canadian Bacon this morning?

I really hope O Canada didn't throw off our pre-game routine.

Who beat Toledo twice who beat us. The MAC is a 21 Jump Street crime investigation board with string going everywhere.

Cheese has represented Akron very well during his couple years here. One mistake in the heat of the moment in one of the biggest games of the season with a lot of frustration that didn't result in anyone getting hurt. Fair & just punishment, but not fair to start questioning who he is as a person and member of this program. As previously stated, hopefully the team plays for him, and I fully expect to see him cheering from the bench as loud as anyone in the arena.

Toughest group yet, IMO. Loved Ampai, but Scotty Caldwell delivered the biggest goal in program history.

Ummm... Put this one in the lost column and move on to the next game? We're a top 2 seed, almost guaranteed. Get to Cleveland, and we'll see what happens - just like every. other. season.

Turned it off. When bricks like that are going in for them, you know it's not your night. Not only should that not have gone in, it should have been negative points for how ugly the shot was. Good grief.

Mikal Dawson is putting in some EFFORT.

LCJ is special.

Minus the "ing", yes. Jesus Tony...

4 on Ziegler. That could prove to be big.

Be a sub above.

I would be, too. "DIDN'T YOU CHECK THE DAMN RIMS BEFORE THE GAME?! THERE'S CLEARLY SARAN WRAP ON OURS!" This is why there's a halftime. Regroup, switch sides, chip away. If there's a team that can do it, it's this squad. They do not back down.

Atrocious dead-ball call on Banks. How about Plowden or whoever it was standing over Cheese, taunting him? Garbage.

Love this type of game. Chippy, scrappy, great atmosphere - college basketball is fun this time of year. Excellent timing on the 3 from Banks.

Any shot by X right now is a bad shot - even the wide open and I mean WIDE OPEN 3 attempt. We had a game similar to this earlier in the year. It was a home game, and the opponent made all their shots in the first half, and when we switched sides in the second half, we made our shots while they missed their shots. We'll get it going. Shooting pretty awful right now and still just a few buckets away from a 1-2 possession game. Lots of time left.

There really is a cover on our rim. Goodness...
