What was the context here?

He got called for a foul just as they went to a timeout and he came out of it with the ball at the Miami end.  As he walked to the Akron bench he carried the ball and lazily dropped it at half court, not giving it to an official.  Groce saw it as it happened, retrieved the ball and yelled back to Sharron who had made it to the Akron huddle, demanding that he come back to half court where he convened a meeting with himself, Sharron and the official.  It was a really bad look for Sharron and he was immediately brought back to learn the lesson.  It was well done by Groce.

Miami's message board is a decent read.

 

Trying to talk themselves into being excited about a potential rematch in the Finals. My favorite is the poster or two that didn't know the MAC hasn't had BYEs since 2020. The sweaters have been irrelevant for a long, long time. 

Sure guys, you only lost by 3 in the second half (when the Zips let up). 

 

You're team is slow and unathletic.

 

Edit:  I just looked at their forum and they are actually taking it pretty well.

They haven’t figured out that Reghi is our weapon of mass distraction. 
 

And I personally liked; “Stole little Bro’s lunch money”.

Many of the posters think they are the 2nd best team.  That remains to be seen.  They are 6-0 against the MAC bottom feeders and got completely destroyed by the one top team they did play.  Let's see how they play against OU and Toledo...

A little over a week and a half ago, there were four undefeated teams in MAC play: Akron, Toledo, Ohio, and Miami.  In that span, Akron has beaten the other three.

 

I do think the road games at Kent, Ohio and Toledo will likely be competitive games. But I really like this 10 player rotation. The opponent doesn’t know who to game plan for because it can be anyone’s night to lead in scoring. But also our guys are maxing out at about 20 minutes per game. They should all be plenty fresh for the long run.

 

Edit: I’m wrong. Some guys played 25-28 minutes today. But each game it could be different guys getting extra minutes. We should still have fresh bodies throughout the season.

On the season we have one guy playing more than 25 minutes per game - Nate Johnson with 28.9 mpg. This is quite the contrast to last year when 4 players were over 26 mpg - Enrique Freeman (32.4), Ali Ali (33.1), Tribble (29.2), and Hunter (26.2). It is crucial we maintain this lighter load heading towards March. Our style requires it.

Teeing up Evan Wilson after he makes a 3 in Miami's face is typical MAC ref crap. 

 

JAR was rocking after that. 

 

I really don't think he was jawing at the Miami guy.  I think we was pointing at and celebrating with his teammates on the bench and the Miami kid was standing between his and the bench.

The refs let a lot pass for the entire game.  Barlow is one of the better MAC refs.  They could have T'd up Steele multiple times and maybe Groce as well.  Easy for me to say it was a well-officiated game when Zips win by almost 30.

Love than Evan had a moment like that! Got chance to whip the rowdies into a frenzy! He’s a good player…if he’d have gone the division 2 route he’d have had a respectable college career, scoring-wise. 
 

Love how he’s looking to score the moment he hits the floor. Hope he starts on senior day. 👏🏼

Hella fun game. 

1. It's still January, but this team is REALLY starting to figure it out. They are a lot of fun to watch. To do that to the other best team in the league right now? Goodness 😂

2. Miami is likely going to be there at the end of the season along with Ohio, Kent, and Toledo. Every day is an opportunity to improve and they are all treating it the exact same way. Always respect to Ohio, Kent, and Miami. They've made NCAA runs, we haven't.

3. With apologies to Andrew Callaghan - All Gas, No Brakes!!!!
