I can't remember which game it was, but there was one that started later than scheduled for this exact reason. My guess is Akron will tip-off closer to 8PM.

7:50 now.

So, what time does the game actually get started?  I'm betting Maryland- Grand Canyon goes to quadruple undertime and we start around 9:00.

Should start on time since there is no game on truTV before them. There was a break. Maryland - Grand Canyon was on TNT.

I believe, based on my experience at the tourney in Pittsburgh last year, there has to be an hour between the end of game 2 in the first session (in this case, GCU vs MD) and the start of game 1 of the second session (Akron vs Arizona), which is why our game is pushed back to 7:48. Because they have to clear out the arena and then let fans back in.

It starts in 19 minutes.

I hate how stressed I get about sports. 

[LZIp]

LFG!

[UAZippers]

Just as we all thought, first few possessions has Akron pounding it inside and Arizona shooting quick 3s

[akzipper]

Welp worst possible start we could imagine. 

[MDZip]

Unfortunately, Akron not making any shots inside and Arizona making their threes. 

[AkronAlumnus]

Oof. 

[MDZip]

Wasn't the pregame scouting report that Arizona wasn't a really good 3 point shooting team? I just hope we don't run into the three-point buzz saw like we did last year with Creighton. 

[Zippy87]

Okonkwo needs to work all summer at finishing around the rim. Would unlock so much more from him. 

[kreed5120]

This game will get out of hand fast if Arizona is knocking down 3s.

[Spin]

I got the game via the NCAA stream.  No charge.

[MDZip]

Amani doing Amani things - and that's good.

Great timeout and subbed in Scott for Wilson.  The movement looks much better.  Tevari making some great moves.  Keep it close and we still have not hit a three.  Really good defensive rebounding thus far.

Is the only TV coverage TruTV?

Man, we are getting blocked inside so much

[MDZip]

I hope that giant gets tired and we can run him down with our depth

[akzipper]

Zips can't buy a bucket tonight. Arizona has had plenty of empty possessions and we have nothing to show for it. 

[MDZip]

Shooting 31% and 0% from three. Arizona over 40 on both. That has to change. Yay! One for three since they changed Scott's shot

At least Arizona's aren't falling too...

[1981 grad]

I thought Scott's basket was a three.

[UAZippers]

Zips have got to stop taking the bait on these drives. You will not win by trying to throw up short shots over guys half a foot taller.

[MDZip]

Getting absolutely killed on the boards
