kreed5120 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 The Zips head into a match-up vs. 9-0 Gonzaga. They are coming in fresh off a beat down of in state rival Washington and already have wins over Florida, Iowa State, and Arizona on this young season. Just staying in the game will be a tough task for the Zips. They need a near flawless game to spring the upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The team will travel early Thursday for the Saturday evening game, which will be available on AT&T regional sports network Root–Northwest. On DirecTV, it may be available by adding their sports package for $8 per month. It is being broadcasted on a regional sports channel in the PNW. It doesn't sound like we will be able to watch in NEO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Zags fans seem to have respect for Akron. http://guboards.spokesmanreview.com/forumdisplay.php?2-Men-s-Basketball Quote akron is solid and can win if zags overlook them. i would be more worried if it was neutral or away. Quote This team is built to win the MAC Conference. They are balanced, have size (6'10", 290lb C, 6'10", 240lb PF), and athletic guards. Extremely quick backcourt, gave Creighton fits, and nice sized frontcourt. Quote I just looked. Creighton only beat Akron by 12 at home. Quote By almost any metric, the Zips are a better opponent for Gonzaga's tournament resume than the Huskies. Quote Akron will be a competitive game. The boys from lebrons hometown play tough ball. Akron will be athletic and aggressive. Hopefully we don't sleep on these guys as they will be a much stiffer test than UW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 ^^They're so close to Canada, maybe they're being overly polite? Lol. Love they recognize we're better competition than Washington. Probably are. The only comment I don't agree with is our "athletic guards... extremely quick backcourt." It's why I don't like starting Noah & Josh together... both fellas are neither quick nor overly athletic. Antino & Ivey on the other hand?... They'd give anyone fits.

Blue & Gold Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Antino Josh Ivey Kwan Big Dog 6th man - Utomi, Utomi, Utomi!!! To hang with top tier teams we need Utomi to step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the Dambrot years, I don't think I have ever heard "Akron" and "quick and athletic" together in the same statement. They have to be referring to Antino and Jimond.

doccomet87 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Dish network (if you have it) offers a $13/month package that includes the Root network coverage. You can cancel after 1 month. I gladly paid the $13 to watch the Zips play a top 10 team. Just got to remember to cancel the damn thing in a month and a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's paper shows overnight temp of 8 degrees in Palouse. I guess that's why Keith decided he needs to come back to Hawai'i next season. Yes, the Amish-bearded Pole is an amazing specimen. Will be quite a challenge for even a Big Dog. Hope we can go to the half within single digits. In any case, this will do wonders for our RPI.

kreed5120 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) I was going to say I thought Root was a regional broadcast similar to like Fox Sports Ohio or Fox Sports Detroit. What airs on the one station, with the rare exception (excluding the filler content), doesn't air on the other. In this case Root Sports Pittsburgh will be airing the Penguins game at the same time Root Sports Northwest is airing the Gonzaga/Akron game.
