Game 2- Ohio U

[clarkwgriswold]

Athens awaits the Zips Friday for am 8:00 p.m. game with the 11-9 Bobcats.

 

The Bobcats are led by 6'2" senior guard Jackson Pavaletzke who leads the team in scoring (17.4 ppg) and assist (4 apg).  6'8" senior forward Aiden Hadaway is second on the team in scoring and first in rebounding at 14.1 ppg and 7.6 rpg.  The natives are restless in Athens with Boals given the up and down nature of their season. 

 

The Zips have lost their last three games in the Convocation Center.

 

There's also a watch party at the Barley House.

The watch party at barley house is interesting. I wonder if that is a Goodrich thing or who decided to have that. I think it’s great to have a watch party for a big road game, but the barley house should not host another zips basketball watch party 😂

Well it's on a Friday night and you can count on it otherwise being empty. Places like The Score, Euro, and Manny's probably will attract more catering to the youth and blasting whatever music they're listening to these days. Not sure where else you can really have it.

 

Edit: I wouldn't attend regardless.

The watch party for the Arizona game was terrible, they have grown accustomed to the place being half empty or less since covid probably. Our group got sat at a table with a view of only 1 TV and it wasn't even on. They are severely understaffed and so many items on the menu are sold out, the waitress even said "yeah we always are out of a bunch of things on the menu". I hate to be so critical of a downtown business, I think downtown Akron needs places like this, but in its current state it isn't helping. I'd say it would be better off having this at lockview and they have a capacity of maybe 100. 

And also, any college cup match or march madness game should have a watch party in the JAR. The ones in 2018 were awesome and I wish they'd do it again. That's my rant for the day, looking forward to the game on Friday
