The Golden Eagles (not Rebels) of South Miss come to the JAR Friday night to open the Zips' 2023-2024 home schedule.  They are 1-0 after an opening win over William Carey University.

 

The Eagles really turned it around last season winning 25 games in their first year in the Sun Belt Conference after three consecutive seasons with single-digit wins.  They are led by Sun Belt Preseason Player of the Year 6'4" senior guard Austin Crowley who averaged 16 ppg last season.  They were predicted to finish fourth in the Sun Belt and are ranked 82 in the KenPom rankings.

2 for 5 so far.  At Kent that's 60%.

I would give my right testicle to win one (1) NCAA tournament team. Don’t ask what I would do to make a final 4.

The final score is misleading. That is a good team we just beat. Go Zips!!

Aren’t they the Golden Eagles?

 

Anyway, this is going to be one of the better teams that’s come to the JAR in nonconference play over the years. Same for Bradley, but I think So. Miss. is little more established. The Zips deserve a nice crowd, I’m worried it will be pretty small. But I can hope!

Promote the crap out of this game! This isn't Point Park this is a legitimate AQ contender coming into Akron on Friday. Trying to get a group together to go with the students at my work. We will see how that turns out!

Let's meet in the middle and call 'em the Golden Rebs!

 

Call them the Golden Flushes and consider it a prelude...

I have two extra lower bowl tickets for Friday night if anyone would like them please send me a direct message.

 

I'm interested...it wouldn't let me DM you. No worries if they've been claimed already.

 

Thanks!

I live out of the area now, how has marketing been?

 

 

Per Facebook it is "Hoops for Heroes" night, where military and first responders can get in free. First I've seen of marketing or any type of promotions for this season (can't find a promotional schedule anywhere on our site).
