clarkwgriswold Posted December 4 Report Share Posted December 4 The 1-6 Golden Eagles of SUNY Brockport come to the JAR Saturday afternoon at 3:00 as a part of a doubleheader with the Zips women. The Beagles are familiar with Ohio having previously lost to Case Western, John Carroll and Mount Union. 6'2" junior guard Zachary Rice leads scoring at 13.4 ppg while also contributing 5.3 rpg. I'm trying but can't put a positive spin on this one. Evan Wilson is healed up so we'll get to see him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlu Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 Outside of the Akron footprint, BB folks are often surprised when the Zips emerge in the post season and Groce takes down some P5 team in the NCAA Tournament. That's great for Groce, and at the end of the season great for Akron fans ... but inside the footprint, when no non-con games and only a couple of MAC games (Ohio, Kent) rise to the level of outside interest (between mid Nov. and March), I understand if some folks feel cheated. Don't get me wrong. Finishing 25-5 is great. But ... Why hide a diamond in your pocket? If you got it, show it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes time and a skilled technician to create the facets that turn them into something of value and beauty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 This game makes no sense. I understand playing Ohio Weslyan 3rd game into the season but why are we playing another D3 team, a bad one at that, the 8th game in the season. I enjoyed that game because we were still sorting things out. But now it seems like we know what we have and playing a weak team is not to moving forward. The crowd sucked for Northern Kentucky and will be even worse for Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The positive is it's on Saturday afternoon with the temp above freezing and I can drive up in the daylight. Now get off my lawn! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a season ticket holder longer than I can remember and I love watching Akron Basketball but I am not going to this game and have no desire to watch Hardman score 30 points against division 3 athletes. Even Clarkgriswold "can't put a positive spin on this one." ESPN which broadcasts just about any sport, won't broadcast this game. I love coach Groce and he stated how much he appreciates Akron fans attending the games. I hope he would show his appreciation by only scheduling one division 3 team next year early in the season. And if he wants to grow the Akron fan base, scheduling this game was a mistake and does nothing to bring Akron fans to watch this team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
