Expand Did I hear Utomi was 1-14 from 3 point range? Wow. I guess we shouldn't forget that he's only a sophomore in his first season as a starter. Not getting the rebound off of the Ball State free throw miss late in the first OT was a killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipfan84 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Personal fouls called: Akron 32, bsu 19. Outscored significantly at the line, again. This has been very consistent the last few games. Need to figure out a way to correct this. Especially on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 We have the biggest issue at center. K-Lac fouled out, no Sayles, no E-Man, no answer for a 6'9" center! Yikes, that is awful. Our biggest problem right now is depth. We don't have any. In the KD years he rotated 8 or 9 players, this year we are stuck. Time will cure this, but this year is tough.

Valpo Zip Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Wow! Winning that game would have been the figurative turning of a corner for this team. Too bad it didn't happen. Ball state has been our little b*tc$ for more than a decade. And today was their chance. Moses(junior), Persons (junior), Sellers (senior) are going against a team of Ivey and a bunch of first year players. To make things even better, our starting center and our backup center are both sidelined. Even better, the game is in Muncie and the young Zips have not won a road game yet. With all these factors, it took ball state 2 OT + 3 blind mice to pull that win. Enjoy your win, cardinals! God knows how long it will be before you get to beat Akron again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Moses was a 55% foul shooter coming in and shot them today like he was Mark Price. On the other end, Utomi goes 1-14 from three point land. Goofy damn game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was pretty similar to that game too, which I think was also 2 OT. Expand I was thinking a lot about that game too as a point of comparison. I believe that game was 114-111 Xavier in 3OT in the JAR and that Ball had 44 points. Anybody know the last time a Zips player had 48 points or more in a game? I don’t seem to remember one since I started following the Zips about 25 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 From gozips.com- Ivey's 48 points broke Akron's all-time single-game scoring record of 47 points set by Joe Jakubick on Feb. 05, 1983 against Murray State. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Jakubick led the nation in scoring his Sr. year at Akron at somewhere around 30 ppg. I'd figure he might have had a game that high at some point that year. Maybe. That would be the only one. Kudos for remembering all of the details of Xavier game. When Jimmal was back here a few years ago, I got to sit with him and talk about that Xavier game one day. Pretty cool. And he's such a super person too.

This loss really burned me more than others. Maybe it was the refs, maybe Utomis misses, or missing that rebound but more likely it's losing to the MAC road kill known as Ball State and their whiny coach Whitford. And as for the troll who made a crack about Groce and records...I seem to remember our MAC reg season champions having an ugly loss to BG last year...a team we previously owned.
