The game ended 5 minutes ago and I see you've already started the Miami-Hamilton thread. You are strictly business! 😂

We made plenty of mistakes down the stretch, but that defense with 3.6 left was perfect by everyone. Especially Tribble for contesting the ball handler while making sure he didn’t foul. If Tribble’s shorts had pockets I think he would’ve put his hands in them just to make sure he didn’t get called for reaching. Well done.

Ali's pass was the difference.  And the Freman pick up

An emphatic stufferino at that.

When it came down to crunch time, Groce went to the 2 biggest guys on the court, Ali and Freeman.  Great execution and great hands and finish by Freeman.   We still need to work on our failure to take care of the ball.  We had 2 crucial turnovers at the end of the game.  When it was time to inbound the ball, it is not a good sign when the announcer indicates there is confusion on the Akron bench regarding who is to inbound the ball and then a lazy pass and turnover.  We lack an experienced point guard who can handle the ball and be trusted at the end of the game.  I love Tribble but he is out of position as a point guard.
