akronzips71 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I was looking at the national stats earlier and we are only .1 made 3 from the national leader. Another 20 3 game and we could end up leading the entire nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akronzips71 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 That was probably our worst offensive game of the year. However, if we can win when we shoot that bad, look out when we are on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsrule Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Did not shoot well, but still a 14 point win. Played good defense and had a lot of hustle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Jake and Reggie couldn't throw it in the ocean tonight...but their defense and hustle was outstanding. You could tell that they gave everything they had tonight even though the shots weren't falling. I'm glad the rest of the team helped make their senior night a special one.

NWAkron Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 So we can have another classic EMU v Akron game in the quarters. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) THAT was an amazing victory! Did Anyone think we could shoot 7 of 33 threes and come away with a 14 point win?!?! A tribute to our bench, and the supply of guards we can rotate in. Akron's bench outscored Kent's 34-15 In the first half, ESPN showed the Huggins banner hanging and talked about the young Huggy taking Akron to its first Big Dance. The announcers missed a chance to pose the trivia question: "Who was the Akron football coach when Huggins was coaching basketball?" They could have then panned to the shot of Gerry Faust sitting behind the Akron bench for the answer! Edited March 5, 2016 by Z.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Our guards did a better job of attacking the rim tonight. We had some nice drives to the basket. Defensively, Kent did not expect the double team under the basket and it seemed to confuse them. In the first 10 minutes they killed us on the offensive boards but in the second half Kent had very few offensive rebounds. We certainly controlled the second half and force them into several turnover. Noah had a great second half and I thought made the difference in the game. It was also great to see Jimmond score 9 points. We will need him and Arron Jackson to play well if we are going to win 3 games in 3 days. I heard Noah on the post game show and he is a very intelligent guy. I give him a lot of credit coming back from knee surgery. It seemed that his defense was much better tonight against the dribble drive. Looking forward to the game on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oy.... They said it's a great venue for college basketball. It looks good on TV when it's full. They did a lot of panoramic shots and didn't have to worry about avoiding empty seats. There were a few outside shots around campus as well. Edited March 5, 2016 by ZippyRulz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Gritty win! I feel bad for Reggie though, especially with it being senior night. It's nice to know that we can win ugly. Cleveland here we come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Here's what's funny: We pretty much played identically, offensively, to the game at Ken+ a few weeks ago, but completely changed the result. Ken+ scored 85 in Ken+, and could only muster 60 in the JAR. We created turnovers in the paint. I said this would be a key earlier. The guards came back a lot to help, got in passing lanes, and swatted balls from their post players from a lot of different directions. We were completely focused on the defensive end, and played with far more energy this time. Hall was frustrated as hell, and I hope he goes to bed tonight understanding that his foolish technical for having a punk-a$$ attitude created the points that got us over the hump from a 5-6 point game into a blowout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUAkronG Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Last night just proved how dangerous of a team we can be. We went from 39 threes in two games to shooting 21% on 7 threes and still scored 74 points. Also, why in the hell did we just now get the lighting system for the last game? Looked great and really looked like it added to the atmosphere. *edit* I also want to make mention of how pleased I was of the game Ivey and Aaron Jackson played. At one point in the second half Aaron had two offensive boards on consecutive possessions. Edited March 5, 2016 by bUAkronG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five ZipNation members voted the Zips would make less than 13 threes and win by eight or more. Congrats to kreed5120, burrdie, RobotHam, zippy5 and AK-R4Life.
