Predictable. Same weaknesses all year. We had more last season. Not to say we can't upset MAC competition and make the tournament but probably not a team to advance.

💯 Spot on

If D can't take away passing lanes and force turnovers and push tempo; and offense can't space and move their matchup zone... lather, rinse, repeat. We will see how they try to adjust against some size. If we're not dictating pace we're average.

That's a really weird way to spell Elvis. People visit this site for one of two reasons: to read 700 page threads about people's favorite UA logo or for GP1's bar recommendations. Anyway, I guess I'll stop wearing my Akron edition Slayer God Hates Us All shirt to games 😂 /s Audrey and Rusty's dad is right, basketball/sport is a way to unite communities; or at the very least, it is a desperately needed escape from the horrors of our current age. That was a really bizarre Kent Akron game. Even my KSU Alum friends were in agreement. Hopefully the rematch at the MAC Center is just as bizarre and entertaining. On to Stan Heath's Squawkin' Eagles of EMU. This crap is exhausting.

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!
