This. Please be "him", Sharron Young.

Outside of this Gohlke kid for Oakland, Akron caught the hottest shooting team all day so far. That's a bummer.

This is spot on. And depending on who stays, Akron has a good chance to have the best core returning.

NIU's 6'11" Center just entered the portal. Coit is still part of the team (for now).

Because the guy has a brand built around being a "kid from Akron" but chooses to publicly support Ohio State and a Pittsburgh school. You can have your love affair with "The King". I will gladly stay off that train.

It's not hard to tweet "Congrats to Akron on making the tourney." Or maybe LeBum is like Kent and can't tweet the simple stuff (like the final score).

I agree on Prather. The question is does he want to play at this level for the Zips? I hope so, but his lack of usage when we needed scoring was puzzling.

Lyles is a mystery. He has the body to bang down low but hasn't put it all together yet. The DI game might be a bit fast for him. Tavari, Prather, and Lyles are the likely transfers IMO. However, I'm sure we'll have a surprise or 2.

The only explanation I can think of is shot turned into $#!@ and the board's censor correction changed $#@! to crap. 😂

I'm very bullish on next year. On paper, we have the following... Mikal Dawson - SR - G Shammah Scott - SR - G Nate Johnson - JR - G Tavari Johnson - JR - G Ryan Prather - SO - G Sharron Young - FR - G Eric Mahafey - FR - G Amani Lyles - JR - F Marvin Musiime-Kamali - RFR - F Darrian Baker - RFR - F Rich Brisco - FR - F Admittedly, I know very little about Brisco and Marvin. I'm going to echo an earlier sentiment, though, and say that Sharron Young is a future star. He is potentially Mark Sears/RayJ Dennis caliber. Baker has star potential as well. Dawson needs to find his game again. Scott needs to improve his crap to be a mid-30s for 3P%. Nate Johnson needs to take the next step. Tavari needs to improve everything. Prather needs to figure out whatever will get him on the floor more. The Transfer Portal needs to bring us a true big and a true shooter. Those are my wishes. Based on who we've been connected to this far, we're looking in the direction of a shooter at least. This is a very pivotal off-season to keep the momentum of this program moving forward. I trust Groce and his staff.

Thank you Freeman and Tribble for spending your entire collegiate careers at Akron. Thank you to Ali for coming back, and thank you to Hunter for choosing Akron.

Creighton is a smarter team. Freeman in foul trouble is off Kalkbrenner to start possessions, and McDermott's game plan is forcing a switch to get Freeman back on Kalkbrenner. Their execution all game has been damn near flawless.

The miracle we needed was Creighton being cold. Ali Ali and Freeman each with 4. Oooof.

4 fouls on Ali Ali - 2-3 of them because he lost his cool. Whole arena just went nuts when Duquesne won.

Creighton is shooting 75% from 3 with 14 minutes to go in the game. Wow.

Zips are panicking.

They were both media TOs? What gives?!

Scott with a nice finish in the paint!

Hot start by both teams. This is fun.

During warmups, 3 pt shooting was the obvious emphasis by Akron.

No better time than today to get guard production from Tribble/Scott/Thornton/Tavari.

And a big thank you to Julius Rollins!

P-S! It's 10:02am and.......

(Ignore the quote - stupid phone) Biggest and best A!
