csims0917 Posted November 20, 2023 Report Posted November 20, 2023 Drake got 1 AP top 25 vote this week. Winning the Cayman Islands make give Akron a chance at an AP vote🤔. Wouldn’t that be something Quote

Good points. To answer my own question, Groce said he has the luxury of having 8 starters with 3 coming off the bench. On any given night each of these guys could get hot and help carry the team. Ali would make that 9 starters, better odds. Could you see Ali playing starters minutes, but coming in with the second wave off the bench? Quote

Imagine a second wave that would include Ali, Thornton, Scott and Dawson.  1 Quote
AkronAlumnus Posted November 20, 2023 Report Posted November 20, 2023 Akron should win tonight - they're facing a good, not great, team and really need to take this step forward Quote

Austin takes down Drake 92-68.  Wow. Completely shocked by that score. Drake was ranked as the top team in the MVC preseason poll and DeVries was the preseason POY. I really saw them as the favorite in the tourney. Looks like they relatively shut down DeVries and held their 6'10" big man to 9 points and 6 boards. The field goal percentage tells the story- SAF- 63%; Drake- 38.9%. Quote
kreed5120 Posted November 20, 2023 Report Posted November 20, 2023 SFA winning by 24 is a bit shocking, but it shouldn't be considered that huge of an upset overall. It's not like SFA was a nobody. They went into the game ranked in the top 100 and were only a 4 point dog. Quote
zipsrule Posted November 20, 2023 Report Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Agreed. Â The shock is not that Drake lost, but how badly they lost. Edited November 20, 2023 by zipsrule Quote

And I can’t imagine that style holds up well with 3 games in 3 days unless they have tons of depth. Quote
