Game 16- Buffalo

[Illini Zip]

Fast paced game which is surprising that Buffalo would push tempo. They are not that deep.

Buffalo keeping up.

[Illini Zip]

They came to play for sure. 

[AkronAlumnus]

Odds are starting to tighten up!

Yep.  They are hanging in.

Ofc they are out rebounding us. Why do I even talk lol 

[zipsrule]

Sammy for three!

Buffalo is playing well. This won't last long.

I’m looking at the retired numbers. Mike Harkins #22 played in 1951, then didn’t play for 3 years, and finished his career playing in 54-56. I would love to know how that worked

[Blue & Gold]

Tribble's playing at an all-MAC level

[Blue & Gold]

Nate hurt his hand, came out of the game & hasn't come off the bench since. 

Tavari took his minutes... in an unremarkable fashion.

[zipsrule]

We are giving up too many layups.

Maybe he went to the military? 

[zipsrule]

Was that last play how they drew it up out of the timeout? 😆

[Blue & Gold]

Nate Johnson w/ hand wrapped. Hopefully just a sprain.

Looks like a full fledged splint to me. He went right to the locker room after he hurt it near the Zips bench. Looks like x-rays in his future.

Ball hog.

The back-cut by Tribble is exactly what we weren't seeing early in the season.

What a move by Ali Ali. I don't remember him having the fake spin move during his first stint at Akron. He's done it a couple times this year and it is a thing of beauty.

Not ideal..good thing we have a lot of depth

It's nice of Buffalo to offset their rebounding edge with so many turnovers.

Ali can do things a lot of other players can’t. Fun to watch 

[Let'sGoZips94]

That's the strongest move I've seen Hunter make in an Akron uniform. Not saying much, but that was a legitimately strong move.
