2026 Big Dance Round 1 - Texas Tech

[Let'sGoZips94]

Scott is feeling it

[tomzip]

Wow they can shoot

[Reslife4Life]

Need to win this rebounding battle

[UAZipster0305]

Scott with the hot hand!

 

It is a great sign that we are getting to the rim.

That's the only negative to this matchup. They are ELITE from 3P.

Eventually TTU is going to have to adjust and their adjustment should open up the perimeter. Then it comes down to who has the better shooting performance - Akron or TTU.

Good game thus far.  Zips are able to penetrate.  We finally got a call going to the hoop.

[HoopsFan03]

Watching from Mexico. Vamos Zips. Saw lots of Akron fans getting on the 530 Cleveland to Tampa flight this morning. 

[clarkwgriswold]

All of this penetration by the Zips will eventually result in some successful kickouts for open threes.

[Let'sGoZips94]

Need TTU to start missing. 

 

Tavari ISO needs to be torn out of the playbook.

This is disturbing...a Troy and Murray State level shooting performance so far for Texas Tech.

 

And how many bunny layups are we going to miss? Come on!...TT isn't even that big!

Most sites have been shown to have over-inflated balls. Wondering if Tampa is similar. Ball seems to be bouncing hard for both teams - TTU even missed a few short ones.

Our best chance ever to win a game and run into a hot shooting team.

They're one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the country and we're allowing way too many good looks. 

[UAZipster0305]

Great coaching by Groce to change up the defense, and we get a couple turnovers as a result.

[Reslife4Life]

Only 1 TO so far, we need to capitalize now

[csims0917]

Great adjustment. Feel like we are getting outpaced right now tho 

[Let'sGoZips94]

Need Hardman or someone else to have a hot hand from 3. Love the starts from Lyles and Scott, but needs others to participate in the made 3s. 

[MDZip]

Zips 50% from three and 33% from two. 

[1981 grad]

Just keep it close in the first half.  Lately we have been a better second half team.

[akzipper]

Can't get points off turnovers or hit the easy layups. 

 

Needed to take advantage early and now it feels like we're just trying to keep it close. 

[MDZip]

Shammah Scott does not want to go home. 

[Let'sGoZips94]

2 on Atwell.

[tomzip]

Akron can't finish
