ZipAnalyst Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 It wasn't the spread but how they bulldoggedly forged a lead and kept it consistent thoughout the second half.Futch staying around the basket and tipping in. He made an outstanding drop-step move and wore down the BG inside game with his body. And, he added 5 rebounds.Preston demoralized the inside shooting game with his 5 blocks. Peterson is strong and showed it (4 rebounds). Travis rebounded superbly (12). Dials hustled, hustled and hustled more. Some terrific passes.BG tried the Can't State strategy (2nd half) of denying the ball to Joyce (with some success - you can always take away one thing). But this team is showing its resourcefulness and easily handled a decent team and shut down several of its stars.KD has said that he will do whatever he has to be build attendance. It is getting better and will continue to increase this season. Next year season ticket sales will ratchet up big time.Unlike Can't which has had success for a number of years now but only shows support in key contests (a la Akron v. Can't), Akron fans will be much more consistent and constant now that they are buying into the reality that KD is bringing something special to Akron which has the promise of being for the long term.It has been a long, long time since Akron fans jammed Memmorial Hall for Laterza led teams, and a long time since fans came out in large numbers for Huggins et al. Year 2006/2007 will be the beginning for fans to start scrounging around for Zip BB tickets. They are going to be hard to come by. This is a team that is fun to watch!!!
