Might see Pohl in the 2nd half. Need to get the running game rolling to set up the offense or we're in trouble.

Razzle Dazzle!

84-70 final. Zips win. Need to tighten some things up, but some of that was probably just shaking off the rust of a 10-day break.

Time to wrap this one up. Iona will provide a tough challenge.

Never mind. Thanks, Jake.

Were those Akron's first FTs of the game?

Name any big event that doesn't use tickets sold to measure attendance.

Each team has made a big run early, before it started going back and forth. Can't afford a long scoreless streak in the 2nd half.

UCSB is 50 spots higher than Arkansas in the RPI. Both them and Iona are top-100, which is significantly higher than everyone but Villanova in the nonconference schedule and nearly everyone in the MAC.

They're both better than everyone else on the OOC schedule not named Villanova. Hopefully the team comes out 100% healthy, and adjusted to Noah running point.

Kwan just needs to get to the basket once or twice to keep defenses honest. Having a guy as big as he is that can shoot the 3 is a great asset, but if that's the only thing he does it cripples the offense.

Who was the host university? They did an awful job promoting the event. It seems like past championships had much better local support.

It's quiet, with all the ROWDIES several states away

Zips up 41-24 at half, if anyone cares.

#GoZips!

The AK-Rowdies left for the College Cup very early this morning in a bus.

Winter break starts next weekend.

So, if I have this right, here is who we have coming in to play in 2016: Commits: QB Kato Nelson, Flanagan HS, Pembroke Pines, FL TE Thomas Cole, Brooke HS, Wellsburg, WV OT Trenton Fincher, East Kentwood HS, Grand Rapids, MI T Jonathan Neeley, Ursuline HS, Hubbard, OH DL Trevor Brown, Jireh Prep Academy, Indian Trail NC Transfers: WR Jojo Natson, Utah State OL Josh Krok, Kentucky ATH Kwadarrius Smith, Missouri WR Kevin Gladney, Nebraska Am I missing anybody? I am pretty confident I got the HS recruits right, but less so for the transfers.

For what they're willing to pay, I bet every MAC/SunBelt/C-USA/MWC coach with any success has privately expressed interest in the job.

I wish that each sport could pick it's an gear brand, but I doubt that the combined contracts would be more favorable than what is currently in place.

Akron could have gone all Nike, but when the opportunity arose, it was the soccer team that shut it down. They strongly prefer Adidas gear, and this was right at the peak of Caleb Porter's influence on campus and at a time when the football team (or any other team) wasn't in any position to overrule it. The compromise was that basketball got Nike gear and everybody else was still Adidas. Don't ask me how the contracts got resolved.
