GREAT ejection by Groce. That was for his team. They've fought HARD, and he will fight for them.

He needed to go up stronger and hesitate less, but I don't know how they didn't call a foul there.

So if we shoot a 3, miss it, and KLac tips it all the way back into the backcourt, that's not over and back? I never realized that. I always thought the team on offense has possession until the defense shows they have controlled possession.

Someone's going to have to explain to me how the team shooting free throws doesn't have "possession", but ok.

Can someone explain to me how that wasn't a backcourt violation on the tip-back off the missed free throw?

Add Patton to my list of players that could be playing in a different uniform next year. Utomi is frustrating.

I have the utmost respect for THE CHEST! Thank you Amato for spending the final years of your career in Akron, OH.

Bummer. Well thank you very much Hustle 1 for your year of incredible effort.

Wow. You can see the focus of Groce in these offers. He wants that cold-blooded guard.

Are we seriously comparing a freshman to a senior?

Totally agree here. But it's a triangle of corruption.

Count me in.

Our DJ Cooper?

Put me down for one who is 100% against any additional financial compensation for main-sport student athletes. We're talking around $120k in minimal compensation for tuition and room & board alone. Let alone the opportunity to travel the US on the school's dollar. If they don't value those things as they should, they sure as Hell won't know the value of additional financial compensation. Half these guys have thousands of dollars on their bodies in the form of tattoos, yet complain about not having additional money for food or something (Shabbazz Napier). Scrap the one & done rule and let them make the jump to either the NBA or a developmental league.

I know Utomi missed one of his big free throws at the end of regulation, but I want to compliment the team on their commitment to free throw shooting. I'm pretty confident anytime we're at the charity stripe. It's a refreshing feeling.

Sorry, I was just thinking, "What if Groce, the coach of AKRON, got the benefit of the doubt during a 6 game losing streak, losing 10 of their last 13 in a very down conference?" Reading the Duquesne board, the Dukes aren't finishing strong, emulative at times of Dambrot's time at Akron. Meanwhile, Akron has become stronger as we've approached the end of the season with a much more depleted roster, and the Dambrot/Duquesne supporters on this board struggle to give Groce any support/positive remarks.

When your vets can't make a shot in the second half if their lives depended on it, all the while making boneheaded mistakes, questions are easily answered. There were a few questionable coaching decisions, but we had our opportunities to make baskets and didn't.

And with the shot clock violation, I'll quote my own post.

Big big BIG 3 by Utomi.

It's embarrassing how careless our veterans our.

Miami started to turn it up at the end of the first half. We haven't necessarily dropped our effort level, but we aren't moving the ball on offense. And Bo Borowski has officially showed up. Awful and-1 call.

Love how the Zips are playing.

When's the last time Bo officiated an Akron game?

Dix Stadium is bad enough in comfortable fall weather, let alone in winter weather. I'm in favor of moving the @ Akron game up, but the @ Can't game either moves up as well or doesn't move at all. I still don't understand scheduling Morgan State, but I'm glad the game on my wedding day isn't one I'll be bummed to miss. Haha. As for the rest of the schedule, it works for me. I see 6 MAC wins at least, with the 2 question marks being NIU & CMU. Let's Go Zips!
