Game 5- Fordham

[GoZips88]

Fordham, as bad as they may be, came to play. Akron looks like they made the trip for a little sun and R&R. Embarrassing.

[dirtyolcrowe]

0-15 on 3 pt attempts.  
 

can the football or basketball team ever win a big game??

 

geez!!!

 

maybe we should scrap both programs and get into hockey.

Fordham is a terrible team, but they're still the much better team. I'm not sure if Trimble and Walton can coexist in the backcourt if Trimble keeps shooting it this terrible. Every team is going to guard Akron this way moving forward.

 

Yep , why would you not just back off of them and challenge them to shoot?  Every game will need Trimble and Castaneda making 3s along with the occasional threat of a 3 from guys like Ali, Dawson and Clarke.

Wynn in.   Must be giving up.  LOL.

 

0 for 16 from 3 point land.

Fordham is not good but we are just PUTRID. Why did I waste $30 on this? I feel like throwing my computer out the window right now.

I think this season is going to be all about finding consistency.

Into every basketball season a turd or 2 like this must fall.

Those two should never be on the floor at the same time.  Tribble is a poor-man's KJ.

 

Wynn sighting, btw.

 

Announcers now also saying our last two games did us no favors.

 

We're getting our asses kicked.  Can't make a bucket. 0-fer from behind the arc.

Don’t mean to pile on the kid,  but I really feel like every time I watch Tribble play he racks up the fouls on defense and is a non threat on offense. Just hasn’t seemed to develop at all since he’s been here.

Sub-par handles and absolutely zero ability to shoot the ball.

...unlike the Zips game.

Announcers basically just called the game a double-turd and are watching the clock like we are. reaching for the handle.

3:48 to go and we have 34 points.

[dirtyolcrowe]

Time to start a hockey program!!!

[1981 grad]

Can we sum up the week for Akron sports:  Freeze my butt off to watch Akron soccer lose to a crappy Santa Clara team.  Akron football gets killed by Kent State and cannot score on a Kent State defense that sucks, (had the good sense to stay away from that one) and  I pay $30 to watch Akron Basketball lose by 25 points to the worse team in the A 10 by 30 points and goes 0 for 20 from the 3 line.  Go Zips!!!!!!!

[NWAkron]

These coaches are paid 600k per year to turn out utter garbage.    It's obscene.

[NWAkron]

So will this considered a bad loss come Selection Sunday?

Don’t forget Akron vs Toledo is the same time as THE GAME!!   
akron marketing!!   Genius!!!

[clarkwgriswold]

Looking forward to hearing Groce's post-game comments on this abomination.

That has nothing to do with Akron.  Toledo is home team and espn or whoever sets the time.   Hit Akron for stuff they can control.

[Blue & Gold]

Pretty certain this is the worst game I've watched since the VCU tourney game.

Blah. Blah.  Blah!!

[RowdyZip]

12 point favorites lose by 20. Inexcusable loss in a mediocre tournament.
