AK Rowdies are awesome.

The JAR is electric!

[Blue & Gold]

Here's what I'm drawing up on the whiteboard during this TO:

 

"LZip just posted 'This team sucks!' Are you going to take that?!?"

[clarkwgriswold]

Had em all the way!

[LZIp]

Wow. we sure pulled that out of our ass!!

[Let'sGoZips94]

Never a doubt

[GoZips88]

Does anyone else feel a little guilty ... like we stole something?

[Illini Zip]

Unbelievable. We stole that one. 

[clarkwgriswold]

Wow, that kid who brought the ball up the floor blew by Trimble like he was standing still.

 

UGLY...DAMN...WIN (not giving it back).

I actually feel a little bad for WMU. They played great & I don’t feel like we deserved that win at all. Not that I won’t take the W 😂

[Illini Zip]

I am bearish on team execution, but bullish on team grit and desire to win.

[zipsrule]

Akron was the better team in the last 2:40.

[AkronAlumnus]

What a historical choke by WMU. Enjoy the bus ride home suckers.

[GoZips88]

How many on this board are going to SAY they were at the JAR tonight? Be honest.

[NWAkron]

I was there.  Was walking out but stuck it out in the bleachers

AMAZING. INCREDIBLE. WHAT A DAY TO BE AN AKRON STUDENT. I don’t care what anyone says. This team has stolen some games. What a hysterical way to blow that lead. When this team wants to play they are MAC contenders. Lets get behind the boys Saturday!

Radio post-game comments:

 

Ali Ali-  knew he didn't have to rush; trusted his teammates and the spacing; play call was to go to him; Zips need to locate shooters on defense better, impose their will more.

 

Groce- thanks to the fans, students were awesome; credit to WMU, guard combo is strong, just haven't been able to play together;  WMU outplayed them for most of second half; WMU great shot making, some great shooting some from Zips D; took TO at 4:03 to get rest for same kids to finish; press worked well late; against OU Ali showed courage to try at the end but took bad shots but learned from the experience and had more composure here as a result; Tribble unreal on defense late and in talking up the team in late huddles; stole one tonight; poise and composure at end made the difference; Aziz has not scratched the surface in games that's he's been in practice.
