clarkwgriswold Posted December 15, 2020 Report Posted December 15, 2020 The Zips head to the Portage County Agricultural Demonstration and Animal Husbandry Center Saturday to face the 3-1 Flushes. The Flushes have bested Northern Kentucky, Purdue Fort Wayne and Detroit Mercy while falling in OT to Virginia. Portland State transfer Michael Nuga leads Mr. PInky's squad at 17.8 ppg with 7th year senior Danny Pippen at 17.1 ppg and 7.3 rpg. Temple transfer Justyn Hamilton leads the team at 9.5 rpg while scoring 13 ppg. PCCC with the new talent and four solid games under their belt will be quite a challenge for the Zips. An empty PCADAHC will certainly be an odd setting for such a high intensity rivalry game. 2 Quote

Blue & Gold Posted December 16, 2020 Report Posted December 16, 2020 Game is at 2:00. (So is next Tuesday's Ohio game. ?) Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I don't have a good feeling about this. Their transfer talent is good and they seem to be ahead of the Zips as far as coming up to speed. It doesn't help that it is in their barn. I wish this was later in the schedule. It's also going to be weird not playing them in the regular season finale. Edited December 16, 2020 by clarkwgriswold Quote
Blue & Gold Posted December 16, 2020 Report Posted December 16, 2020 Very weird playing them the 3rd game of the season. And why not play them in the season finale? What's COVID have to do with that? We're not ready for this game yet. We're still pretty disjointed. Quote

Maybe they wanted to make sure we got an Akron/Kent game in, in case the Governor shut down sports in the spring? 1 Quote

They totally aren't ready for PCCC. They can get some good practice in. Find someone else to play? Edited December 17, 2020 by NWAkron Quote
Eagle66 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Posted December 17, 2020 Ohio had its OOC game this weekend cancelled too. Might as well see about moving the Ohio @ Akron game up a few days if nothing else. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 17, 2020 Report Posted December 17, 2020 Yet another reason to hate Kent... Quote
LoyalZIP Posted December 17, 2020 Report Posted December 17, 2020 Definitely a bummer, but I agree for sure that it is better to have this game pushed back. Zips aren't very close to reaching any potential yet. Also, by my calculations, I've attended 34 consecutive games between Akron and Kent and unfortunately that's likely to change within the next couple of months due to attendance policies. What are everyone else's streaks? I know we've got the most die hard of die hards here. Quote

feetg10 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Posted December 17, 2020 ESPN says we are playing Malone at 2 on Saturday. Anyone else hear this? 1 Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 17, 2020 Report Posted December 17, 2020 I hear we had to give them 100% of the gate to make it happen. 1 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Posted December 18, 2020 The PCCC Animal Husbandry Center is a mere minutes from my palatial estate, so I have been to a number of the games there. There's something magical about not being able to see a quarter of the floor from GA seats. Almost as bad as looking through a glass divider. 1 Quote
akronzips71 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Posted December 18, 2020 If it is true someone post the info please! Quote
NWAkron Posted December 18, 2020 Report Posted December 18, 2020 Yes. I confirmed Malone for Saturday Quote
