Captain Kangaroo Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Going 0-2 in the regular season vs. K.e.n.t. isn't an option. Should be an electric environment Friday night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Combined with the fact Akron does not play defense at a high level, Dambrot has opted to try and outscore everybody. "We have turned them loose,'' Dambrot said. "When you're open, let it rip". source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is so bipolar it's tough to get excited about the MAC tournament. I feel like on some nights they can beat anyone in the country, but on other nights they can lose to a local rec league team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice how they push it when they get rebounds or force turnovers. They are 5th in defensive efficiency. I'd say the Zips are more comparable to the Rockets. They shoot and make a lot of 3s, but give up a lot of easy buckets on the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 An oval bun, as opposed to a round bun. And it's filled with a tube-shaped piece of cooked bologna. I say....SANDWICH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hip Zip Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I get the rivalry aspect and the revenge angle of this contest and all of that stuff. Despite that, this could be a classic letdown spot after cutting down the nets Tuesday night. I'd be lying if i said I wasn't worried about this one as the flashes have everything to gain and we do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the motivation of staying hot going into the tournament, beating our rival, and finishing the year undefeated at home is motivation enough. But, I do agree the let down potential is there after cutting down the nets. With a close to sell out, I think the crowd will motivate the team. I'm sure there will be lots of recruits there as well.

ZZZips Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 The JAR has been set up for a theatrical extravaganza for the game on Friday. After Wednesday evenings women's game a contractor has installed 16 computer controlled multi-color spotlights in the rafters and 8 towers with carbon dioxide smoke generators at the corners of the floor along with two additional light show generators on some of the towers. I assume that other equipment will be installed just before game time. I told Reggie and Jake that they must be awful special to get this size of Senior Night treatment. Make sure you get their early enough for the pregame senior recognition. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
