Old Dominion Monarchs--->Albany Great Danes--->Miami Hurricanes--->North Texas Mean Green--->Akron Zips.

I think it certainly moves him up in the rotation but he won't take the minutes. When they came out for the second half Tuesday Bowen was in his place. I think Eric then came in for Bowen. I think Shammah's minutes increase and when they just have one true guard on the floor that guy like Bowen and Eric play what's essentially the two. In reality, this team is Tavari, Shammah, Sharron, Amani and a bunch of wings.

That kid was gonna get his shots. He was the most shameless shooter at the JAR since Antoine Davis!

....and the t-shirt gun!

This game is Youth Day and Mascot Day and there is also a dance cheer clinic. There's also some kind of discount on kid's tickets, so maybe they'll get as decent crowd. Don't forget, it's a 2:00 tip-off.

With a team made up of mostly freshmen and sophomores.

One more season after this one and there's no way the school is going to expend the money to pay 2 women's hoops coaches.

I realize they have a history of not living up to expectations but I think they will be decent this year. The MAC schedule maker has done them no favors as they've started the season against OU, Miami, UMASS, PCCC and Akron. When it all settles out I think they'll be in Cleveland and could cause some trouble for some teams.

WMU comes to Akron Saturday for a 2:00 tilt against the Zips. The Broncos come in at 7-10 fresh off of a 3 point loss to UMASS. They are 1-4 in the MAC with their only win coming against EMU. 5'10" junior guard JUCO transfer Jalen Griffin leads WMU in scoring at 15.5 ppg. 6'4" senior guard, Robert Morris transfer, Justice Williams is second in scoring at 13.7 ppg. Jayden Brewer, a 6'6" senior guard, leads the team in rebounding at 7.6 rpg while being their third leading scorer at 13.3 ppg.

Exactly. This team's propensity to let up with a big lead is maddening. Don't let up on the gas. It would be different if this happened with backups in the game late but it's happening with our vets on the floor.

The ice is back on Sharon's ankle.

Grrrrrr, letting up and getting sloppy again.

The next time I gripe about the Zips perimeter defense remind me of Ball State's.

Ball State gives up the fewest points per game (67.4) in the MAC while surrendering the fewest (69.8). I think it has primarily to do with those numbers.

The MAC schedule maker did BG no favors. Their first 5 MAC games of the season: OU; Miami; UMASS; PCCC; Akron.
