Game 8- Milwaukee

Chabi just doesn’t dribble with the ball lol

I don't feel we've looked particularly sharp this game, but we're still up 18.

Felt the same way about Evansville

Scary what this team is capable of.

Watching Barre, I have a feeling that the fact we haven’t seen much of him might have to do with Groce wanting to get the Zips playing well without him first. Kind of a layered approach to the season instead of having too many moving parts all at once on game one.

Another crap foul IMO. They jumped into our defender from behind the arc.

No Halligan either.

Milwaukee is a 200+ KenPom team, sure, but Akron is demolishing DI teams like P4s do. This is such an impressive start to the season.

Can we get our free tacos?!

Last year we lost 100-81. Could we win this game with the exact same score?

Young found his shot again today

You'll have to settle for 105-81.   😁

Barre with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks in 13 minutes. Should be a rotation player moving forward.

Seems like he took oggie’s minutes. I still want to see him as well

Barre had knee and hamstring injuries.

Did not know that. Definitely makes more sense.

We had six! players score at least as many points as Ball States leading scorer this evening.

I’m very whelmed. Biggest positives is Barre looking good and Young starting to figure it out for me

I didn't think we played very well, yet we still cruised and emptied the bench at the end of the game. Lyles played great. Evan Mahaffey had a solid game. Eric had bursts of being the best player on the floor. 

 

I was pleasantly surprised to see Barre. Looked like a highly skilled offensive big. A little slow on D and he didn't rebound very well. 

 

Wish we had a better crowd. This team deserves better.

 

Go Zips.
