Blue & Gold Posted February 4, 2023 Report Posted February 4, 2023 It was nice seeing Romeo at the game. Quote

There were easily a hundred or two that stood in each corner on the track due to the lack of seats. Closest the Zips have come to the CSU Zips game in the mid-80’s, where every seat was taken and people were sitting on the stairs throughout the JAR. I think the seats next to me in the lower bowl are un-sold. Was cool, last night a few Akron guys bought those tickets, had their beers, and were pumped for the game in their Akron gear. 2 Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 5, 2023 Report Posted February 5, 2023 Twitter is buzzing about Akron basketball. The nation took notice last night. We're a real team with one of the best mid major barns in the country atmosphere wise (when we want it to be). Massive shoutout to the students. 1400. That's nearly 10% of the entire student body that came out. Big time 6th man award last night. 3 Quote
Z.I.P. Posted February 5, 2023 Report Posted February 5, 2023 Can anyone find Enrique's career statistics? How many rebounds does he have and where does it sit on the Akron career list? The records I found don't list him, or only show yearly averages. Quote

Instead of “Whose Stock is Rising” were into the “Whose Dread is Rising” portion of the season. In all seriousness, the buzz and recognition is great. Awesome. Well-deserved. But the key is not letting it get to their head. We’re still a month and change away from Cleveland. A lot can change. Groce needs to continue to get these guys laser focused. Everybody needs to be ready to compete. From X to Amani Lyles. Akron basketball has been prone to big stage letdowns for years. They delivered in the MAC title last year, and they delivered Friday in front of one of the largest home crowds of all time. Let’s keep it rolling, no time to be satisfied! 2 Quote
LoyalZIP Posted February 5, 2023 Report Posted February 5, 2023 As of Sunday morning, roughly 35 hours since Akron’s 67-55 win over Kent went final, Kent State has not acknowledged Friday’s result anywhere on their website. No game recap, haven’t even updated their MBB schedule to reflect the loss. They’ve got a real solid operation going! https://kentstatesports.com/index.aspx 1 Quote
Zipmeister Posted February 5, 2023 Report Posted February 5, 2023 As of Sunday evening reality is sinking in. https://kentstatesports.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule Quote

I guess it is too painful for who the member of Sports Information who writes up the recap. Awww! Too bad. Does it hurt your little head? Quote

Can't read, Can't write, Can't State. Heck, it probably took 2 Can't State people to tally up X's points for the box score. Needed 3 hands and 2 feet.

Blue & Gold Posted February 5, 2023 Report Posted February 5, 2023 Still can’t believe how well the White Out went over. I was thinking there’d be maaaaaybe 1/3 of the crowd wearing white. The word definitely got out & almost everyone rocked it! Very cool 😎 1 Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted February 6, 2023 Report Posted February 6, 2023 We're obviously having some issues with Invision and the server. It's being worked on. Seems like things are going to be hit-and-miss for a while. Quote
