Shammah's role growing with every game.

What a bs call on Freeman for his 4th.  Did not effect play and hardly any contact.  Ridiculous!!!!!!

[zipsrule]

Get a bucket here.

We catch a break with a travel on Jihad.

After not getting a call on Tribble's drive.

God we’re so bad at that last inbound. This has been a theme all year 

[clarkwgriswold]

Lewis has been a good hire for Ball.

It sure seems like it.

The bank just closed, too bad.

 

Another road kill for the Zips.

It was in the bag the whole time!  😁

Well that was no fun whatsoever. Exhale. Roadkill. Onto Buffalo. 

[AkronAlumnus]

Glad I doubled down when we were down six

Good win. Ball State brought it (and the refs made it harder). I thought we played well.

Winners win

I went the opposite way when the Zips took a lead earlier in the second half. I think my $5 donation to FanDuel was the main reason we won.

Really impressed how we closed out this game.  Dawson came through in the clutch with some big 3 point baskets.  Tribble is finding an outside shot.  And Ali making 3 of 4 clutch free throws.  Plus our defense on the last possession was outstanding.  Always tough to win on the road in the MAC and Akron pulled it off. Great game by the Zips.

Nearly slipped on a dog turd. Another (yawn) double double for the five time MAC player of the week.

Exactly.  Take the win and on to the next game.

The Cardinals have nothing to hang their heads about after this one. They gave a tremendous defensive effort, and Basheer Jihad and Jalin Anderson were matchup nightmares offensively. Great game from both of them.

Mikal Dawson was the difference late in the game with those two massive three pointers. Excited to see him finding his rhythm offensively again! Experienced squads know how to finish games like these.

If I had no rooting interest, this would have been a really fun Tuesday night basketball game to watch. Grateful to get the roadkill!

Why does it always feel like CBS picks the wrong MAC game every week lol. This would’ve been a great one on tv

Tribble shot well today for 14 pts.
