Was it Yogi Berra that said “The place is so crowded nobody goes there.”?

 

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.

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.

The game was listed as sold out at 6:00 when we tried to get tix.

all the buzz makes me nervous.  Staff has to keep their heads focused on task at hand.

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!

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!

Still no recap of the game, just the box score. 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?

I think you're giving them too much credit. 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.

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 😎

A relative of mine who was at the game said it was "one of the best Zips games they've ever been to."
