Probably the nail in the coffin for their backdoor tourney odds. I love it. Screw that school.

We absolutely should've had more. - Scott got Sixth Man of the Year but didn't end up on any of the All Conference team - Gray should've been Third Team - Okonkwo should've been Third Team/Honorable Mention Groce was the only correct choice for COTY. Glad they got that right. Nate getting DPOY was a big surprise and I'm glad he got POTY. He deserved it. Scott was also the only correct choice for Sixth Man of the Year. Now go get the real hardware in Cleveland.

Gamer.

I went to one of his summer basketball camps when I was real young and if I'm remembering correctly, he was a real piece of work. I remember a lot of yelling. The players were nice but he was something else. On the flip side, I attended KD's basketball camps and holy crap what a difference. KD's staff was always so incredibly nice. To this day Lamont Paris is one of the nicest sports figures I've ever met. Not to mention the players - Quaide Milum, Dru Joyce, Jeremiah Wood, Cedric Middleton, Steve McNeese, etc. - all very kind. Those were core memories from my childhood. Ended up playing on the same 3v3 team as Larry Nance Jr. He was special even back then. Watched him do a drill once where he was 1v2 dribbling the ball up the court. Defenders were next to each other at half court to slow his momentum. He faked one direction, dribbled the ball between his legs from behind, and split the defenders for a breakaway dunk. Completely off topic but since we're reminiscing...

This generation doesn't have the deep pockets necessarily. George will be as successful as the BG NIL allows for.

True, I forgot KD went Senderoff-lite for a few years.

And since this incident, Akron has been home to some of the highest character rosters in the NCAA, which is the true difference between Akron & Kent. Chris Singletary blew a .13 and punched Nate Linhart 17 years ago - they've had countless incidents since. We have Abreu and Gueye/Kostelec. That's it.

Pretty sure the Utah State coach from last year took the Washington job and brought Osobor with him (for the 2nd time). It wasn't necessarily a money chase, although he did get paid well.

Jonas Nichols, the highly touted freshman from Hoban.

Regardless, 2 players quit their team this year. Quite the culture.

Oh, I thought it was divide by Pi, which would've been the first logical, real world application of Pi ever.

Allegedly, a Kent player punched Morales a couple weeks ago. Morales quit the team. Second Kent player to quit the team this year alone. My guess is somebody in the athletic department had that graphic made weeks/months ago, and the social media team was too careless to notice that Morales was in the graphic. The situation had been kept hush hush up until Kent outed themselves by posting these tweets. Nothing but class from Pinky's Portage County Circus, per usual.

Special appearance from Ali Ali at the end.

The most improbable component of their needs, and they don't even have the Balls to show up at Miami. Soft progrum.

Nevermind. Forgot about WMU and this is all screwed up. 😂

MAC tourney comeback?!

Turmoil in Portage County? 🎶🎶🎶 We don't talk about Bruno no no no 🎶🎶🎶

MAC is pure chaos tonight.

What a start! Are we... Back?

Unbelievable 😂 EWILLY! And he didn't get T'd up!

There is a Kent fan on Twitter than has a wall full of these Ride to Hell posters. Starting to question whether or not Hell is referencing the difficult schedule, or simply being a Kent fan. The answer is probably both. Kent has a chance to break their 21(?) game losing streak week 1 before starting a new losing streak.

A family member of Bowen Hardman posted on Facebook that Bowen loves playing for Groce and feels right at home at Akron. This is the second family member of a player that has said they love being at Akron and playing for Groce. We're building something special.

Relying on NIU is rough.

If Akron wins, I believe it will be the program record for regular season wins.
