[tpsjugglerdude]

Tip is set for 8:02.

I went to the link on espn 3 and could not find it listed for 730. It is now listed as an 8:00 P.M. game. The woman's game must have run over.

8:02 tip, according to twitter.

[zipsrule]

Yes, pre-game started later due to the later start of the game. Women's game started at 5:30 PM.

Reggie breaks out of his shooting slump. Zips lead 13-8 after the first 7 minutes.

[ziptrumpet87]

Looking pretty good. Stretching the lead to 22-12.

Wow 32-18 at Penn State. They just mentioned no MAC team has beaten three power conference teams in one year in over a decade.

And a 90 point pace at halftime. Who are these guys? :-)

[ziptrumpet87]

45-32 at the half. Keep the pressure up after the break!

[zipsrule]

Up 45-32 at the half. Good looking first half. Akron seemed to have a response every time PSU scored.

[Dave in Green]

I'm worried. The Zips have only 4 assists.

I am pleasantly surprised how well we are playing. Evans, Robotham, and Ibitayo able to get to the hoop and finish. Something we did not have last year. Kwon is making some difficult shots. Pat is playing the best I have ever seen him play. And Reggie is finally sinking some 3 pointers. Other than some stupid turnovers, we are playing to our potential. We have also seen some great blocks. Hopefully, they keep it up for the second half.

[zipsrule]

1981, I think you bring up a great point. We finally have someone hitting some 3s, which is really opening up the floor.

[Dave in Green]

Serious note of caution: PSU trailed at the half of all 3 games in the Charleston tournament. They came back in the second half to win 2 and tied the other one but lost in overtime. They are a good 2nd half team.

[Z.I.P.]

And again, I catch myself looking (no -- staring) at the box score, asking how we can have a 13 point lead with just 4 assists at halftime, and 6 turnovers?!?. I guess this is going to be a on-on-one "beat-em" team in 14-15. Go Zips!!!

[zipsrule]

PSU on a 9-0 run. Not a good start to the half.

[akronzips71]

We are about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[zipsrule]

Looking very sloppy.

[Z.I.P.]

We are about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Thanks for your note of optimism!

[zipsrule]

Getting tired of these PSU homers announcing the game.

[zipsrule]

Now a 15-0 PSU run. We cannot make a shot here in the second half.

[zipsrule]

Finally!!! a 3 pointer to end the run.

[Z.I.P.]

How's THAT for an answer to a 16 point run? 7-1 Akron run.

[1981 grad]

I never thought I would say this: Why didn't Kwon start the 2nd half. Having Reggie and Kretzer in at the same time is hurting us. Would rather start Ibitayo. We are having success driving to the basket. Reggie missed a chippie and the rest were tough shots. Robotham is the man when we need a shot

[Dave in Green]

Gotta gut this one out.

[LZIp]

You cant miss wide open lay ups. And Kwan needs to have better shot selection.

[zipsrule]

Cut to a 2 point game.
