Game 1- South Dakota State

[Let'sGoZips94]

These refs need to learn what playing straight up means on defense. My goodness.

Has a chance to be the best Zip Nate since Lindhart.

March Madness in November. GREAT season opener. 

[Let'sGoZips94]

Are you kidding me...

[zippy5]

Omg lol

[clarkwgriswold]

Uhhhhhhhh

[zippy5]

Had to have been worried about the time

[mrelegazna]

Anyone who wants to be mad at Tribble instead of fist bumping him and telling him don't worry about it is gonna have to fight me.

[clarkwgriswold]

Finally a shot within his range... 

[akzipper]

That missed layup sums up the night perfectly. One team is making everything and getting all the lucky bounces, the other is hustling like crazy but can't catch a break.

I was wondering that too.

Exactly why he isn't a PG. Your eyes have to be up there looking at the clock. He had a full second, and should've dunked it. 

 

Oh well. He stopped a 3 going up with 3 seconds left. Let's get em in OT!

[clarkwgriswold]

WHAT A GAME.

 

Win or lose this will help the Zips down the line. 

[mrelegazna]

This would be a good win.  It would not be a BAD loss, but it's the kind of game a team like Akron HAS to win to have any hope of being able to snag an at-large bid in the NCAA tourney (as unlikely as that seems in the MAC).  Same with the Bradley game at the other end of the non-con schedule.

[zipsrule]

It's Freeman time!

[Let'sGoZips94]

Somewhere, a UCLA fan is watching this game thinking, "Thank you refs for getting Freeman out of the game against us."

That's the problem. His eyes were up there 😂

What an epic game.

Followed closely by “deuce”!

[Z.I.P.]

Can someone just explain to me what happened at the end of regulation?  Because ESPN still shows Akron 72 SDSU 70 after 2nd half!  🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️😵
