MDZip Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Helps to have a team that can hit free throws at the end of the game. 12 in a row. If they make the NCAA tournament that's a huge factor in their favor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsrule Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 How is Groce not the coach of the year? 14-4 in conference. Picked to finish 5th in the east. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 What a win. Beat the opponent, their magic shots, and the opponents. Special cap to a special regular season. Kent sucks. How do they always find punks? Massive senior night for X. Congrats to all the seniors. Let's finish this damn thing at The Rock(?)/The Fieldhouse on Saturday and go Dancing. Lastly, thank you Groce and Team for BEATING KENT! KSUcks! IT'S 8:59 and... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted March 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Wow. What a game. Kudos, gulp, to PCCC. They made some clutch plays. I was a little disappointed in the crowd at times. In the second half, there was no reason to be in your seat, especially when Kent had the ball. The coaches and players should not have to encourage you to get up at important times. Nice job on the Romeo tribute. Tribble electrifying again. Refs in the MAC still haven't figured out the shooter leg kick. Damn frustrating. PCCC should have a much better record. Too many individuals, not enough playing as a team. Pippen is a close second to Jimmy Hall in the irritating department. Riak got under his skin. Some clutch plays by Deng tonight.

1981 grad Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Great game by the Zips. Nice to see Williams make some 3 balls and lead the team in scoring. Kent killed us on the offensive boards but some of the rebounds were deep rebound and Akron had position but went to the Kent player. The refs were bad both ways. They let the teams play and then called some stupid fouls. The Jackson blocking foul was pure crap but the same ref made the same call against Kent so it even out. With all of the turnaround from last season I did not think we would win the MAC. LCJ kept saying "trust the process" He was right. Congrats to the team and to Groce for a great regular season. Let's finish the job and get back to NCAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 25 of 28 from the free throw line, including making their last twelve. That's clutch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Good game by Kent (No Ravenna or Brimfield tonight). They were tough. Groce said it was a "high level" game and it was. Wow, to think what KDs teams would have been like with that type of FT shooting. @clarkwgriswold regarding the crowd, I think there is still some learned helplessness and nervousness and just a fear of impending doom that keeps the butts in the seats. All in good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Tribbles second dunk was one of the best dunks I have seen from an Akron Guard. He was fearless going over the defender and to the hoop. Also, I was curious how bad the refs were and reviewed LCJ's first blocking foul that looked like a charge and Williams last foul that looked like a flop. Both calls were good calls. On the blocking foul Jackson did not move parallel but moved his leg forward causing the contact. On Williams last foul he hit the shooter on the arm as he was shooting and it had nothing to do with the flop or sticking the leg out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that why you were a darker shade of pink all game, Mr. Magenta? Is that why you kept subbing Williams out with 4 fouls on defense, and back in on offense to save your best scorer to potentially win the game? Is that why you kept delaying the game with uncalled timeouts to draw crap up and try to win the game? The only reason Mr. Pinky is trying to play this off is because Groce built another winner in less than 3 years and he doesn't want people to focus on his mediocrity.
