kreed5120 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 The Zips travel to Reno this weekend to play 6th rated Nevada. The Wolf Pack are led by 6-7 F senior Caleb Martin and 6-7 F senior Jordan Caroline who combine to average 37.6 points 15.3 rebounds 4.3 assist. They return most of the key contributors who led them to the Sweet 16 last year. Game time is Saturday 7:00PM and can be viewed on ESPN3. KenPom has the Zips as 17 point dogs.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 My dad and I traveled to Reno the last time the Zips played out there. Great trip - fantastic arena/atmosphere. Nevada is good. I fully expect this to be our first loss by more than 5 pts. My only wish is that we fight like Tennessee State did against us for 40 minutes.

clarkwgriswold Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Wolfpack- 83, Zips- 67. The Wolfpack's bigs will be too much for the Zips. I am so old I saw Eric Musselman play for Brecksville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Beacon article about Jimond with a blurb about the Nevada game by Michael Beaven. Nice to see Beaven doing some UA basketball stuff. Did we not though just have a GT article on Ivey? https://www.ohio.com/sports/20181221/university-of-akron-mens-basketball-jimond-ivey-continues-to-mature-on-and-off-court Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZippers Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Zips came to play early tonight. Just need to focus on boxing out and this could be a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAZippers Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Offense has turned into everybody watching Jackson dribble around at the top of the key during the last few possessions. Need to keep moving the ball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 These announcers have been unbearable. Not enough tonight. Silly mistakes, and Nevada just made more plays - so many blocks. 6 pt loss to the #6 team in the country. All of our losses are by 6 or less now. As impressive as losses can be.

zipsrule Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Some of those missed opportunities early in the first half came back to haunt us. Great effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Had the feel of a game in March. Year 2 folks. 5 losses, 2 to ranked opponents, by a total of 18 points, shooting like crap in many of those losses. Really appreciated the defensive effort tonight. Go Zips! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
