zestycoyote Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 I figured this game could use it's own thread. According to Rasor, this is George Thomas' first Akron-Can't game. Thomas has done a pretty good job so far covering the Zips. Still, don’t you think a replacement writer should have some exposure to the teams they’re about to start covering? Go Zips! Quote
GalleyBoy Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Someone really needs to help Reghi with his pronunciation of the AK-Rowdies. Bummed I'm not at the JAR but excited to watch it on STO. GO ZIPS! Quote

bUAkronG Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Zips need to stop turning the ball over. Other than that I love the defensive intensity!!! Quote
zestycoyote Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Posted January 21, 2012 That was goaltending, wasn't it? STO showed some replays. It looked pretty clean. The "non-foul" on Abreu was definitely a foul though. As was the assault on Zeke on that rebound. The STO commentators keep talking about Can't State's "presence." That must mean they're playing thug ball and getting away with it. Akron needs to quit trying so hard in the second half though. They don't seem to know whether they want to play outside or inside.

We need to man up and answer. Quote
AKSportsFan Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 wow. Diggs is a boss. ..... NIKOLA!! 3 in a row. Quote
zippy5 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 In other non-surprising news...they finally put all the students in one place, and what do you know? 1000 strong student section standing/cheering Quote

zippy5 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Nick FREAKING Harney ladies and gentlemen! Talk about a coming out party. Welcome to the next 4 years K-ent! Quote
bUAkronG Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Talk about a coming out party. Welcome to the next 4 years K-ent! Seriously. Have I ever mentioned that I love the way this kid plays? Great, great second half by the entire team. Quote
ejcool27 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 NOW THAT IS ZIPS BASKETBALL!!! BIG WIN MADE IT THROUGH ROUND ONE OF THE EAST 4-1!!!! Quote
Zipmeister Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 I thought Harney played pretty well. Quote
akzipper Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 I thought Harney played pretty well. I was a bit nervous when he didn't really do much in the first half...but wow he tore it up in the 2nd! What 21 points? Harney should be starting vs. Ball State. Just goes to show if he gets PT he will lead the team in scoring! Quote

Harney should be starting vs. Ball State. Just goes to show if he gets PT he will lead the team in scoring! I disagree. I like bringing him off the bench. Give the starters a chance to establish themselves(how well did Chauncey play? Wow) and then have a guy like Nik to give the team an INCREDIBLE spark off the bench. This team is one of the more skilled I've seen since I've been at Akron since 2006. Quote

Dambrot has a bit of a quandry: this team is significantly faster and more athletic with Zeke on the bench. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 In other non-surprising news...they finally put all the students in one place, and what do you know? 1000 strong student section standing/cheering Where did they put the students tonight? Quote
Blue & Gold Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Dambrot has a bit of a quandry: this team is significantly faster and more athletic with Zeke on the bench. Watching on the tube, I also noted that we made our run and pulled away with Big Zeke on the bench. Treadwell is also much, much more of a hard arse than good ol' Zeke, which may be what we really need against a bunch of thugs like Can't. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Where did they put the students tonight? Upper north side (the left side, if you're watching on TV). Quote
akronzips71 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 I am really starting to love this guy Harney. If he keeps it up, he will start getting national notice. He has the slickest inside moves I can ever remember seeing in a Zip. If he was a starter (he WILL be one soon enough) I think he will average over 20 PPG. And he is really stealing Q's thunder! And Q has lots of thunder of his own. Quote
