Can somebody give me the final score of the scrimmage? 93-83.

AkronAlumnus Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Didn't even know the Zips were playing today aha. Looks like LCJ & Freeman saved us from an embarrassing upset. It's early but I miss banks, cheese, and X. We'll get better with time; we're well coached under JG.

Blue & Gold Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 While we struggled against Malone, Buffalo is currently leading Syracuse by 14 with 5 minutes till the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I always travel to Kent and buy my seat early online and one year I found a second row seat center court. I am wearing my Akron stuff and as I am going to my seat a Kent fan yelled at me that I could not sit there. I waved my internet ticket and yelled back yes I can. I sat down and did not think much of it until 2 minutes later a young usher came to me and told me he was sorry but he had to check my ticket. I showed it to him and then he apologized and said they have some crazy fans. I remember when Kent came to Akron I was looking for the guy so I could demand to see his ticket. Unfortunately, never saw him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 It seems like the bench guys from big name programs are playing like bench guys. These guys better learn to play defense or they will be back on the bench no matter how much talent they had coming our of high school. I have faith that Groce will get things turned around at some point in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) By all accounts, we are lucky we didn't end up getting Kent today. Nice to have the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and gel while still winning. Whose going to step up to help out LCJ? It shouldn't be on Freeman's shoulders. Wynn becoming eligible could be big if Trimble/Dailey continue to struggle. He seemed to fit in okay today on a few day's notice.

LoyalZIP Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Also, Tribble did not dress today. Not sure what is going on there, his slashing abilities would have been a big help today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quite a payout When was the last time a Zip grabbed 21 rebounds? When was the first time? Yes I know, D2 and all that. He has been getting better every game. He has THREE MORE YEARS TO PLAY, that makes him equal to a freshman! He just might be a superstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Travis had some 20 rebound games. I think Wood did too (Jeremiah, not Brian). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point remains. He is basically a freshman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
