Murray State is a quality mid major. Akron isn't going to beat anyone worthwhile without effort and intelligence on D. That's just a fact. Giving up 97 to Yale was a red flag. Allowing Murray State to put up 115 in 40 minutes is flat out embarrassing.

Not that it really matters, and it was very easy to miss in real time, but there really was a hook and hold. It was only visible from one specific replay angle. It was a very savvy veteran move against a less experienced guy. Anyway, it wouldn't have made any difference, as it had nothing to do with the review or outcome of the game lol. My apologies for being persnickety.

I have had this thought as well. Should the Zips make it to selection Sunday, I think they are going to need Oggie and Barre to continue to progress throughout the season in order to possibly/hopefully make it to the second weekend of the tournament. I do remember thinking Oggie did well defending Townsend the few times they matched up. If, by tournament time, those dudes progress in the system like some of the upperclassmen, the Zippies could have a decent shot at really being a cinderella this season. I think the Bulldogs and Boilermakers gave Akron a good idea of where they are at currently.

I noticed that too haha.

Go Zips! Nice win. Hopefully they can carry some momentum into conference play.

Let's find some points Zippies. This game isn't the season.

At least the past year of my life makes Zips football look pretty decent. I'll ride and die with Coach Joe.

College basketball's 'lawless, cesspool' transfer portal must be fixed

Congratulations on a good conference season, Zips. Wish this game had turned out differently for you guys. I'm sorry.

Nice! Even LeBron is following all gas no brakes! Let's go Akron!

Absolutely! It was a very smart play - situational awareness, knowledge of where NJ was and then putting the ball right on him! Bill Walton would have been so stoked about that pass!

Simply amazing. Fear the damn Roo. Credit to Miami for playing a hell of a game and having a great season. Time for the rest of the country to experience all gas no brakes 😛 https://youtu.be/N2kvzuYrrvI?feature=shared

A rising tide lifts all boats. This squad embodies what can be so great and beautiful about basketball. A fist is stronger than five fingers. It's genuinely wonderful watching them thrive off of one another. No disrespect to NIU, but I truly hope we're able to give Enrique a show 😊

Enrique's is truly an amazing story. I will never forget that UCLA game. With 'Rique still in the game they maybe make Akron basketball history. That was a tough whistle. That was probably the closest many will get to a Zips Basketball tourney win in a lifetime and he was the catalyst of it all - not to take any credit away from the rest of that year's team. A very special memory for sure. It will be nice to celebrate on Tuesday 😀
