3 years in we need more than moral victories over conference opponents.

This game worries me, as do all games in Millett Mausoleum. Maybe it's the ghost of Charlie Coles.

I thought the same thing for the first 5 minutes and last 5 seconds of last year's MAC Championship game.

Porter was a senior at Wichita State when Shammah was a freshman. They bonded over their work ethic, see each other as big brother/little brother and have maintained contact. PS- I survived every Literature class through Cliffs Notes.

Ohio.com article on Shammah's relationship with the Cavs' Craig Porter- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2025/12/30/shammah-scott-akron-zips-basketball-cavs-craig-porter-jr-cleveland-cavaliers/87935128007/

It's down to -4.5 but even that line surprises me a little.

The Zips head out to Oxford this weekend to face the Redhawks in a 3:00 Saturday tilt. The Redhawks stand at 13-0 heading into Tuesday night’s game at BG. The Redhawks wins include Trinity Christian, Indiana East, Milligan and Our Lady of the Elms. The Redhawks lost their second highest scorer when Evan Isapro went down last week. 6’8” redhirt sophomore wing Brant Byers leads Redhawk scoring at 14.5 ppg. 6”8’ junior forward Altmar Altason, a Bradley transfer from Iceland, contributes 13.2 ppg. 6’5” senior All-MAC guard Peter Suder is scoring 12.3 ppg. They are shooting an impressive .546 from the field and .436 from 3-point range. We’ll find out Saturday if their strong start has been driven by their weak schedule. It will be interesting to see how the Zips deal with their length and perimeter shooting.

Tough to complain about a 51 point win but the 3-point defense tonight was not great.

And the deal to fill the student seats worked. It's pretty full.

The Grape drew 1550 in 2022. 1542 in precounted season tickets and 8 other.

Nickelodeon, The Comedy Channel and The Home Shopping Network were all booked.

Gameday. Excitement is building. Will here be more than 1,000 in attendance?

Will the Zips come out of the break with the same defensive minded starting lineup we saw against EMU or has the team gotten the message and we'll see a return to the prior starting lineup?

Some teams lost games. They didn't. It's just that simple for some of the voters.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope santa brings you an #11 NCAA seed or better.

Isapro done for the season for Miami.

Concord's?

The Zips get a 10 days Christmas break before Concord comes to the JAR on December 29th. Concord currently stands at 6-3, playing a bunch of teams that belong on Captain’s list of teams he’s never heard of, including Frostburg State. In the confusing geography department, they’ve also played California of Indiana and Indiana of Pennsylvania. Kraig Gilbert, a 6’8” sophomore forward leads the Grapes in scoring at 19.2 ppg. 6’8” junior forward Boubacar Djigo averages a whopping 14.2 rpg to go along with 14.2 ppg. He played for Lutheran West in high school.

Same here!

It's no coincidence that the two kids who play the hardest on defense started tonight. I suspect the message got through.

Certainly improving but a ways to go.

Nice facilities are great but as long as your playing crappy football it's lipstick on a pig.

Being in the right place at the right time and inheriting a generational PCCC team.

From 7 different sources.

To summarize: Bad defense + good team shooting lights out = 115 points On to EMU.
