UAZippers Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I think that Riak's injury really hurt this team. He seemed lost at times on the court and missed a few shots that he had no business missing. When he gets back into the flow, I believe our offense will improve tremendously. Sadly, none of the other big options have stepped up yet this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre22era Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 We will rebound with a "Quality Win" over the Carnegie MellonTartans Great out of conference scheduling there.

Yeah, I would say it's okay to be proud of the Zips for their effort. This is a growth game for the program, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips88 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) "First Meeting: Nevada 88, Akron 61 Feb. 17, 2006 ESPN Bracket Busters (Reno, Nev.)" 27-point drubbing last time we were in Reno. Felt at the time like it wasn't even that close. Experienced quite a few ass-kickings and disappointments against better programs during our 20-win season streak including significant games post-MAC in March.

And I remember that long drive back from Detroit after a 47 point drubbing. This awesome coach didn't realize his star point guard was an effing drug dealer! Are u one of the Keith groupies who used to sit in my section but didn't renew your tickets because you liked the coach more than the school and the team?

kreed5120 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Can we quit comparing Dambrot to Groce? We didn't fire Dambrot to bring in Groce. Dambrot decided on his own free will to leave. We brought in Groce to rebuild our gutted program. Personally, I like the progress he's made from year 1 to year 2. Others may disagree.

Won the MAC Championship in 09 Until your beloved Groce does anything remotely close to that at Akron = STFU and respect what KD accomplished here.

I liked KD and was sorry that he left, but he wanted out of the MAC plain and simple. Being the best MAC team all season long, but not being able to win the MACC was clearly getting to him his last years here. He went to a conference that gets multiple bids and i cannot blame him for that. I felt hiring Groce was a good move and made perfect sense with his knowledge of Ohio, MAC and Midwest hoops.

When given a bigger opportunity and budget at Illinois what did he do in a weak Big Ten during that time? Only make it to the NCAA Once and that was his first season and not his recruits. He fell flat on his ass and crawled back to the MAC and what do we do? = hire that guy Groce needed Akron more than Akron needed him.
