Fouling 3 point shooters drives me nuts.

Especially when it's compounding a mistake. 

 

Nice steal by Evan and dish to Amani.

47-27 Zips at the half.

Shammah with a DEEP 3 at the end of the half. What a half by the Zips

 Princeton doesn't appear to be nearly what they were last year, but Akron is also a total notch above what they were.

Evan and Amani on the court together is pretty fun.

Just came to post the same thing. Two “bigs” on the floor as versatile as them at the same time is going to cause problems.

I like that we played aggressively right to the very end of the half. Hopefully, stay as locked in after the break.

Especially with Amani's 3P ability and Evan's dribble drive ability. There won't be 2 bigs clogging up the paint on offense.  Allows the offense to be spread out.

I’ll throw Oggy in there too. They all rebound on the defensive end and start the fast break themselves with the dribble.

Noon game time doesn't help. Will the concession stand be offering brunch? 😉

 

I can't get there for a noon start. And trying to watch on espn+ is a horrible experience. Also can't 'listen live' on the Zips phone app.

If I saw Evan Mahaffey waiting to defend me around the basket. I would definitely be throwing the ball to someone else. Good gosh he is suffocating.

Evan Mahaffey is a MENACE

[Illini Zip]

Turning into a bit of rec ball. Great shooting, but our defense has dropped off. Not that I’m complaining while up 33 points.
