WOW! Nice play by Nate. Welcome back!

 

I wish Dawson and Hunter would take on some of Nate's aggression with the ball.

For having to follow a statcast I will say that Ohio's is pretty darn good. https://statb.us/b/486489

FREEMAN!!!!!!!

Enrique!

Freeman. Wow. That was sick.

[Illini Zip]

UN-FREEMAN-BELIEVABLE!!

[Westie]

Wow! Nice half. Great finish. Gotta get Riq going on the block. Maybe that shot will do it!

[zipsrule]

Not the prettiest half, but effective.  Keep up the energy in the second half.

Freeman is getting double teamed and he is really having problems finding the open man.  Hopefully they can make an adjustment in the 2nd half.

Nice first half. Freeman only has a "double" if you count both his points and rebounds. If he ends up having his usual game OU will be in trouble in the second half.

Another missed lay up for Scott..

 

but redeems himself with the 3!

Scott has to one of the worst Zips all time at finishing at the basket.  How many layups has he missed this season?  Glad to see him finally make a 3.  I think he has missed his last 10 open threes.

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."

AI would probably make an Akron student that has three teeth in their head and the car up on blocks lol. Not sure we have room to talk😂

Really glad to see Dawson, Scott and Hunter hit the 3 ball on the road.  Our 3 point shooting away from the jar has really been a problem with the Zips.

Nah, it would be the stressed out engineering nerd drinking a beer in Bierce

They didn't do it to start the game  Now they seem to have a guy laying in wait to have him put the ball on the floor then they cut off the diagonal pass to the other wing.

Great to see him step up in his first game back.

As much as we've made fun of the sideline reporter, the broadcast team is incredibly knowledgeable on Akron & the MAC. Fun listen (as long as we're winning).

I don't think I can forgive the play-by-play guy for that tie and sports coat combo.

[Illini Zip]

Sorry Prather but you might have just lost your minutes to the guy that doesn't look like he ever had a broken hand.

[zipsrule]

Ohio making a run.  Need to grab loose balls.

[LZIp]

WTF are we doing

[Reslife4Life]

Yikes, 7 fouls already.
