OK Johnson. Freeman in foul trouble…

Others outside of X need to step up. He’s carrying us.

They are dominating us down low so far.didn’t think I’d say that

I thought the sound seemed off too lol

X is looking aggressive

This is bullshit

Pretty sure the problem would be on the U’s side. Other ones are working fine for me

10 mins in and stream hasn’t started yet on ESPN3..come on.

We never get any respect...probably better that way.

Wonder if this means our annual game with Marshall is now off the table since there would be a chance we play them twice in OOC?

Took some time to listen to Groce's interview on 88.1 this morning. He said they have 6 guys who are currently bought in to the "Akron way". Assume thats X, Freeman, Tribble, Clark, Hankerson, and Hunter. Not that the other guys aren't good teammates/hard workers/talented, just that he needs a few to take the next steps to fill out our 8 man rotation. Something to keep an eye on tonight and as the season progresses. Who will step up?

Sun Belt is kind of meh, but this is a better step for scheduling going forward. I hope there's some sort of method to matching up similar caliber teams.

Just watched Alabama go for it on less than 4th and 1 this past drive. Once out of the pistol and once out of shotgun. Of course they got it both times, but even Bama doesn’t go under center on 4th and short for whatever reason.

I don't think reducing capacity is necessarily a bad thing if its made up for in other ways. Student population is about half what it was a decade ago and "Joe Akron" doesn't come out to support the Zips like they did during the Dambrot years, though we've put together some of our best teams during Groce's tenure thus far.

I imagine we would have done it already if permitted, but selling the naming rights to a business and using the proceeds for renovations sounds like a win/win to me.

From the rendering, it looks like just plastic bleachers above and new chairbacks in lower section? If so, not a big fan. We should have chairbacks at minimum on both sides of the court.

Joe confirmed on Zips Live tonight what I thought the announcers said at the Liberty game. There’s a good chance Bubba has another year of eligibility. I assume the determining factor is officially getting the medical redshirt for last year. Would be big to get him back.

Had to go to SDSU's website to figure it out, but the game will be on ESPN3/+ for those not able to attend. https://gojacks.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule

Tibesar would have coached this guy, and multiple members of the staff are already following him on twitter..

He'd be on the team if EMU's administration had a choice.

I think the process is to build a foundation and will be used to supplement later. Arth relied heavily on HS recruits and we know how that worked out.

My prediction for Mr. Ramirez - 2.5 against us.

In general, do you think most programs have a preference of Juco/transfer portal targets? Obviously should be assessed on a player by player basis, but seems like the transfer portal has yielded more notable results.

Nobody has decommitted..yet, so that’s promising I suppose.
