zipsrowdy88 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 As a student it sucks to have Kent dudes in your face like that. But we asked for it all game. We talked that talk all game and what more do you want?!?! The student turnout was amazing. We lost and deserved that to happen. Regardless, it would be hilarious to see those guys suspended. All in all, see you pussies in cleveland. Cant emphasize how much of pussies those dudes are 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy5 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 My only beef with the end of the game stuff is there were a few kids sitting courtside that were most definitely caught right in the middle of that. Now, they were sitting in front of our students swearing all night too, but, I'd rather not have seen that play out like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you have a board to tend to that is discussing the worst football recruiting class in the MAC - by far? Come back in a couple of weeks after the team that just lost to the pansies twice gets a W in the Convo to even up the season series.

pdt1420 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I’ll say this, if Akron players did that at KSU, I would not be crowing or proud of the team I root for. I agree with whoever said blow kisses and wave as you walk of the floor. This was a total classless move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I thought it was a great game even though we lost. We had a chance to win it at the end but failed to execute. Groce said post game that it was a 2 man game with Ali and X and that he thought X should have passed it to Ali. We also had a terrible possession at the end of the half. Our team has had problems when we have to hold the ball for the last shot. X does not have that explosive quickness to get to the basket like LCJ. I thought the main difference was that Kent shot the 3 ball better than we did. Tribble and Clark both air balled wide open 3 points attempts. We also had several possessions where we struggled to shoot the ball before the time clock expired. Remember, this is the first winnable game that we came out on the losing end. I was hoping that X would pass the ball to an open man for a winning 3 ball. Finally, I could care less about the Kent team getting in the faces of our students. Hey, that student section is great and it just shows that they were getting on the nerves of the Kent players. If the teams meet in Cleveland it will be another toss up. I thought we were very physical and did not back down from the Kent players. Great crowd. I think we had about 90% capacity. Best college atmosphere in 2 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Refs stunk. Both ways, not a complaint of why we lost or anything. But the first half was basically swallowed whistles/let them play, and second half complete opposite. I've never seen so many ticky tack offensive fouls off the ball. Just be consistent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewbrooman1 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Zips are now 0-4 against the three teams ahead of them in the standings with two of those games at the JAR. Not a good sign. 🤨 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I like it. Those Rowdies are never going to forget that & it, yet again, just more solidifies this as literally one of the best, most intense rivalries in the nation. Having said that, our offense is like pulling teeth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Love the Rowdies. Best student turnout and participation I’ve ever seen at the JAR, that felt like old times. I do not believe Kent is better than Akron, but they are tougher physically and they’ve played their best two games of the year against Akron. I’m hoping Akron has this same mentality in every game moving forward. Trimble was getting at it with Carry, Dawson was a junkyard dog, Freeman played one of the best halves of Akron basketball ever. It’s just a tough matchup for Akron for whatever reason. And props to Carry and Santiago. They answered the bell every time they needed to and Akron came away with a close L after a ton of missed opportunities. Akron is tough and resilient, they just lack that killer instinct like I said. When we were down 1 or 2, if Trimble would’ve buried the deep right wing three he took I think we would’ve won it. But X made a play then made a bad one. If he kicks it to Ali, fake gangster Carry is going home with his tail between his legs. Great effort. Hate to lose, absolutely brutal to be swept, but Kent played a near perfect game and Akron didn’t. On to WMU. Enjoy your weekends everyone, that was a ton of fun.

zipsrowdy88 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 IDGAF about any of the stats to be honest, this team fights hard, but they arent as good as years past. Sure, we know that. Last time I checked, nothing matters until Cleveland. Kent can win 100 times until then, knock yourselves out.

Love the Rowdies, but If you think they are the "rowdiest" student section in the nation, you must not watch much college bball. A student section showing up and making noise and saying crap isn't "instigating". If it is, many sections across the country are instigators, but the Kent pansies are the only opposing team that can't handle it. The whole team getting in their face and taunting immediately after the buzzer sounds is bullshit. It could've potentially lead to physical altercations between fans and players which isn't a good look for anyone. I'm not crying about it as it makes the rivalry what it is, but just another example of the lack of class that program/university has, and there's nothing wrong with calling it out when it happens. If Akron players did that I honestly would be embarrassed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
