Lol. Assault is borderline legal so far. 

Gonna be one of those MAC officiating nights.

[LZIp]

For real. Tribble and Freeman getting mauled

[zipsrule]

Nate with a nice play.

[clarkwgriswold]

They're forcing the Zips into a lot of switches that are putting Enrique on the perimeter.

[AkronAlumnus]

yes immediate impact

[Let'sGoZips94]

We need to start making some outside shots and take the pressure off Freeman. 

 

Tribble just got fouled twice on one play. Thank God the second was called.

[zipsrule]

Early on, the Ohio guards made some nice takes to the basket.  Since they seem to be a little out of control.

[Reslife4Life]

Now we are second guessing taking threes. Just shoot it

[clarkwgriswold]

Sammy has no idea what to do with a 10 foot open shot.   LOL.

Story of the season

[AkronAlumnus]

dude was cherry picking the whole way

[Reslife4Life]

Let’s go Dawson!

[clarkwgriswold]

Tavari the last guard in on the rotation tonight.

[AkronAlumnus]

I love this matchup - always physical & features the two best coaches in the MAC!

After that lazy turnover, not sure he gets many more minutes. Bad bad bad.

[clarkwgriswold]

Lazy awful pass by Tavari.

[LZIp]

Tavari comes in and turns it over in the back court immediately. come on man.

I've missed a lot the Zips' home ESPN+ broadcasts this year - just one of those things - so maybe I'm just factually wrong in what I'm about to say but if not...

 

I'm glad Akron-produced men's bball games don't include a sideline reporter who's a jittery college student, as is the case here. This is VERY common on ESPN+ broadcasts across conferences.

[clarkwgriswold]

Zips switching everything on defense.

[LZIp]

Another missed lay up for Scott..

 

but redeems himself with the 3!

A missed free throw on the front end of a 1 and 1.  ugh

If I asked AI to generate the prototypical male student at Ohio, Ethan Sargeant is what it would create. He's the guy on Saturday night making sure the Beeramid isn't going to fall. 

 

Never forget Kent's sideline reporter fail. Completely forget the fella's name, but when the camera was put on him for the sideline report, nothing on his body functioned properly. He was a combination of Ricky Bobby ("I don't know what to do with my hands") and the class nerd talking to a girl for the first time. "Put the ball in the hoop for a 3 point shot (holds up 2 fingers."

[LZIp]

Nate's athleticism has been sorely missed.

[Let'sGoZips94]

WOW! Nice play by Nate. Welcome back!
