Bandaogo get a couple of minutes.

I get that, but EMU has only played 5 games to date.

This team thus far has nobody to be "the man" when LCJ's not on fire. Down 22. Give me some Clark and Currie. Might as well experiment a little. I wish somebody would t-bone all of those damn Nissan Rogues.

Some of the Zips think they can make up 16 points in one possession.

Zips in a funk and that happens sometimes, but damn, they're getting outworked and that's unacceptable. It only took Rob Murphy 10 years to discover have three huge lumbering players in the game doesn't make you a good defensive team.

Ugly finish to half.

Good to see Tribble in too.

A Currie sighting!!!!

Dailey finally starting to get a little more aggressive on offense.

Seems like the Zips have had slow starts against the zone since....forever.

Another slow start for the Zips.

...and poorly lit.

Eeeek!

Game day article from the Beacon- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2021/01/09/university-akron-mens-basketball-team-still-learning-its-identity/4124999001/ It's refreshing to have someone covering the team that actually gives us valuable information.

Game is on ESPN+. Time to fire up the subscription again.

Damn, it feels like it has been a month since they played PCCC.

Some nice Enrique Freeman stuff in this video.

If you're not a regular contributor on a team that won one game in two seasons you're not likely to find many suitors in the transfer portal. If on top of that you are a PITA you're doing the Zips a favor.

...despite that went 123–163.

He had a decent team in 15-16 with the Maric kid at center. He was a quality MAC big man.

Apparently, Olivet's schedule was full. Damn, they got beat by 20 by SIU Edwardsville. Their website states it a little oddly- "Northern Illinois University will make a change in its men's basketball head coaching position and will separate from head coach Mark Montgomery effective immediately..." I wonder if it's a conscious uncoupling and whether they'll ask everyone to respect their privacy during this difficult time.

I got the sense from the presser that he's close.

Rest and recovery is good but right now I think this team needs in game floor time. For long periods last night they had no rhythm or flow. I wish they had a Tuesday game this week rather than 8 days off.

Tribble was out. Sprained ankle. Wynn is #20.
