Game 10- Tulane

Not a barn burner of a start.

We can’t seem to figure out this zone and Tulane is  getting long rebounds on their offensive end. Add to the fact it’s a road game and we are in a real battle.

Barre doing some good things out there.

Tulane is getting a lot of open looks from 3. Fortunately for us they haven't been able to knock them down.

They just mentioned that Tulane and Akron have only met once in their history and it was in 2019 at the DC holiday hoops that Akron won 62-61. I was at that game and the following game when they lost to Liberty. Six years goes by fast. 😊

Nothing is coming easy for the Zips today, but they keep swinging.

Love the effort on the boards by the Zips.  It seems that with the zone it gives us numerous opportunities to hit the boards.  We seem to be the more physical team which I am sure pleases Groce.  Tevari just continues to play well making the open shot and finding the open man.  Marvin needs to make them bunnies!!

Tevari currently  playing as well as any Akron guard that I have seen in the past.

42-34, Akron at the break.

Tulane does have a cool old gym.

Thank goodness Tavari, Shammah and Amani packed their 3 point shots. It’s been the difference maker in my opinion.
