Woof.  It's like Dawson is deliberately missing these 3s.  No way they make it to Saturday in Cleveland.  

I have not seen him make a move to the basket in the past 10 games.  Purely a perimeter shooter and has been just plain awful from the perimeter.  At least we have seen Scott and Thornton make layups and Tavari had a drive and dish.  We need our big three Ali, Freeman and Tribble to score some points in the paint.  We cannot rely on our 3 point shooting.

Worst case they are in a first place tie with Sewer U coming to Akron Friday night. I’ll take that.

For some reason my ESPN+ stream won't load but I think I'm okay with that. On to the next one...

[AkronAlumnus]

One of the softest plays I've ever seen by Ali on that tie up

[Westie]

Two best players are no-shows tonight. This team needs a spark. This is 3 straight duds. Buffalo is too awful to beat anyone

135 of his 160 field goal attempts have been 3's.

Need a run NOW.

[zippy5]

They shouldn't have blown the whistle on that shot clock violation 

[Zippy87]

Tavari Johnson and Ryan Prather Jr need more minutes and Mikal Dawson needs less.

GD can these rockets flop

[Reslife4Life]

The effort on the offensive glass is why Dawson is in

Easy thing to prepare to do when our players do the same thing over and over.

[zipsrule]

Down to a 5 point game!

[Zippy87]

Freeman

Ali

Tribble

Hunter

Johnson

 

I need to see that five get the most time together the remainder of this game.

[clarkwgriswold]

Sammy with two awful defensive possessions.

Tavari's defense is bad and just led to an uncontested layup 

[zippy5]

What was that call?! Jesus 

[LZIp]

horrible 3rd foul call on Freeman. Maddox was out of control

[clarkwgriswold]

I used to tell my kids that the refs won't bail you out of a bad play.  That rule doesn't apply in the MAC.

[LZIp]

Still time to turn it around, but by far the least effective game I can remember from Freeman in some time. Maybe multiple seasons.

You have to give up some defense to get some offense sometimes. 

[zipsrule]

We're having our own problems, but this is horrible officiating.

Three turnovers and 2 offensive rebounds and 0 for 3 shooting for 3 pointers.
