LoyalZIP Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 You could play that game 100 times, and I’m not sure how many times Akron wins. No Tribble, foul trouble for the remaining guards, Kent gets hot late. Man, excruciating but awesome to finish the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlu Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 After this game ... since Akron does not have to play at BG ... I think there is a real chance the Zips can go undefeated in the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 Groce won't "let the win be a deodorant for what stank" (the bad defense) in the second half. Shorthanded win over your arch rival and the refs in their barn. Priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Great effort tonight by the Zips. The flu bug has hit them hard. WBB and T&F too. Guys just sucked it up and competed! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 I'm all for Groce picking up a monetary sanction from the MAC for post-game comments about the refs and the chicken$h!+ technical calls. I'll start the GoFundme for us all to contribute to pay it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 (edited) Beyond stressful. Only had to watch the Bradley/SIU game the other night to know that no lead is safe. Zips have had slow first half and kill in 2nd. I thought it may be harder for them to hold on to a big lead as opposed to pulling away from a close game. nice long weekend for them. I for one dislike OU more than Kent even though @clarkwgriswold refers to Boals as "our friend." Edited January 20 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Groce would have gotten one himself late if the officiating crew wasn't aware of how terrible they were. The tall pretty boy who spent probably 2 hours on his hair, Luke Schumer, is a low tier Horizon League ref. Dreadful night for him, but he still gets the $2,500 game check plus expenses. Stupid game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomzip Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 All I can think of is when that entire PCCC team, staff, parents all had to walk by me on that plane with my white new A hat on when we had sat for 1 hr at Hopkins with me staring them down. Just hope one of them remembers that tonight, as they cry themselves to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy87 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Big game from Tavari Johnson. Looked confident with the ball and did great penitrating inside. I'm hoping to see him get some of Thornton's minutes once Greg is healthy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Kent fans, being the geriatric morons and losers they are, will cry endlessly about Groce despite Pinky and his entire staff of makeup-less clowns did the same exact thing in that gym last year in the game.

Probably not much brain capacity left to think about you after "Left foot, right foot, breathe... left foot, right foot... left foot, right foot... wait, breathe breathe!"

We led the entire game and we’re the more talented team by a long shot. Love how Tavari stepped up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
