Game 4- at Purdue - Sunday Nov. 16th @ 7:30 pm (FOX Sports)

[akzipper]

Zips getting homered already. No way the refs let Akron keep this close, let alone win. 

[Illini Zip]

Evan, no!!

[Let'sGoZips94]

Damn. 2 on Evan early.

[Let'sGoZips94]

These refs suck. 

[MDZip]

Too many fouls. 

[Reslife4Life]

How was that a foul on Amani

[Reslife4Life]

That might’ve been the best transition D I’ve ever seen on that Young/Scott breakaway

It's the infamous phantom foul. Here's how it reads in the rule book...

 

Rule 69.69: If the refs are anticipating a foul, they may blow their whistle.

 

Subsection 420: If game is a P4 vs a G5 and their anticipated foul is going to benefit the P4, refs are required to blow their whistle.

If 7'4" is making 3s, good night.

His first ever three. If this is an NCAA tournament game, it feels a little too scary like the one against Creighton. 

[Reslife4Life]

Foul on a three with 0 on the shot clock. Can’t have that

[MDZip]

Hate the way that Smith does the shot fake and then slams his body into the defender. I know it's a legitimate play, but I hate that we keep falling for it and I hate it in general.  😂

This Akron team probably beats Creighton in that game. This team is deeper, longer, quicker, and way more skilled offensively. 

[Zippy87]

Purdue having only 1 foul in 10 minutes of basketball is...something. 

[MDZip]

We can't just keep jacking up threes as our entire offense.

Purdue better be careful. The FBI is on a sports-busting kick. 

 

Oh wait, P4s are immune to accountability and punishment. Silly me. Rules for thee but not for me. 

[pdt1420]

The first pump fake foul from him was legit. The second when he leapt into him was some D Wade bullshit. 

[MDZip]

The announcers sounded stunned that they actually called a foul on Purdue. 

[Let'sGoZips94]

This is impressive by the Zips,  especially given the officiating.  

[Illini Zip]

Eric quickly calls a timeout and the refs call it a jump ball.

[1981 grad]

This is the best Akron team I have seen against a quality opponent.  Groce has them ready to play.  Only down by 5.  I am not sure we can play this well for 40 minutes but really impressed with the ball movement, hustle, and breakouts.  Tevari looks like he can play with these guys and Scott has hit some great shots.

Pathetic job by the announcers time not mention that Loyer's dad played for Akron in the 80s. 

They made up for it. 😊

[Zippy87]

#45 literally just ran over MMK from behind and...nothing. 

[Reslife4Life]

I would’ve loved to see how Enrique would do rebounding in this game

[MDZip]

Zips are playing tough. Awfully hard to battle against a team that's about a half a foot taller you at every position.
