clarkwgriswold Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 The Cardinals come into the JAR for a 6:00 tip-off Tuesday night to face off against the Zips. The Cards are 15-8, but suffered a 27 point home loss to Buffalo over the weekend, after beating them by 15 at Buffalo. The Cards are led by guard Tayler Persons 16.1 ppg.

Dr Z Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Ball State @ Akron -- Watch it in your area on: WQDI D-4 (ASN), Cox Sports TV (Cleveland, OH) 20.4 in 480i ? American Sports Network Gamefinder This also shows up on my DirecTV guide on channel 665 CSNCaHD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 So we moved the game to an inconvenient time to accommodate a regional sports station that I wasn't aware was in existence until now? Sounds about right for Akron. If it was a station like STO or Fox Sports Ohio, a station people actually watch, I'd be more accepting.

It's not Akrons call on when or what day game time is, complain to the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I get the MAC wanting as much exposure as possible, but the game time changes have to make it a little difficult on the member schools and cost them some of their home crowd.

It makes it harder on everyone. Both my wife and I have had to alter work schedules and appointments for some of this. It's not easy. Speaking of easy..... we've LONG overdue for an easy game.

Between the folks who can't later the schedule and those who show up at 7 having not received the word, it has to hurt the gate. I know I haven't received anything from UA concerning the time change I heard Joe Dunn on the radio on my way home today. Apparently, KD wasn't aware of the time change until Joe mentioned it when they were taping their weekly show Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I have a meeting scheduled at work until 5. Hopefully it doesn't go over as I'll have to haul a** as is to make it to Akron, park, and get into my seat before the 6PM tipoff. Unless you work in downtown Akron, I imagine most people that work standard business hours will have similar problems.

Blue & Gold Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Beacon: Zips look to extend home winning streak to 29 Tuesday against Ball State “I’ve challenged our guys in the last eight regular-season games, the MAC Tournament, the NCAA Tournament that we need to become the best defensive team in the league,” Dambrot said. “It’s how we built the program.” Dambrot’s plan is to go deeper into his bench. For the most part this season, the veteran coach has played seven in his rotation — well below the nine or 10 players he’s used in past years. “We’re going to play harder in shorter intervals,” he said.

I like the emphasis on improving the defense. But I also wonder, if we are going to use more of our bench to get fresher people (and hopefully more defensive energy), are we going to sacrifice too many points? Trust our coach and see what happens. I think our depth improves dramatically when Hughes is ready to go more than a few minutes. Then we just have to hope that Aaron, Poke, Daniel, and Tavian have learned enough and played enough to contribute more.
