I would think Evan is the natural leader on the court. Anybody else? How does Ford look in his new role?

36-26 Akron. Nice defense to offense fast break finish by Oriel

[Reslife4Life]

I like Tahj

[ZipsFan31]

It’s one game. But I would like to see them scheme some shooters open. Like get pence and open look or 2 

[Blue & Gold]

I don’t see Josh Henderson

Ball movement definitely needs to improve.

Good hustle on both ends of the floor. Main reason we're up right now.

There is maybe 250 here if you include the band, cheerleaders, event staff, and players. 

It got better. Can’t count attendance til 7:05 cause everyone comes late! 

[Blue & Gold]

Tahj is really good.

Perkins is gonna be a good one.

We need more from Colin White.

Ford is very animated on the sidelines. Seems to be fitting in

He must have heard you, drained a 3.

[Reslife4Life]

Chabi looks exactly the same. Competitive rebounding is not his strong suit

[csims0917]

Band seems a lot louder on chants this year. They feel more energetic 

[kreed5120]

Perkins just broke someone's ankles. Unfortunately missed the open 3.

[Illini Zip]

Does the offense and defense schemes look similar or different?

Fewer people in arena probably helps since there is less crowd noise.

Offensively, only 5 assists on 18 field goals. Decent amount of driving to the basket from outside. Defense looks fine, someone else might be better articulating that than me

[csims0917]

Tai looks like he could be a fan favorite off the bench. I’m sitting right next to his family a group of 10-12 are here for him 

[Let'sGoZips94]

43-32 Akron at the half. Putting up 43 pts while going 3-11 from 3P is impressive. 19-16 rebounds in favor of Akron, 7 of which are offensive.

I’d say more driving & dishing. Would others agree?  They’re giving Evan a lot of control of the offense as far as ball handling & having him drive the lane.

The fear the Roo kangaroo has made its way on the scorebug. Also don’t know why YSU doesn’t use this logo more

I would agree. Not a whole lot of back-to-basket and not a whole lot of outside swing passes

[ZipsFan31]

The combo of pence white and Evan I think is too big. None of those guys are guards. 
 

we are missing a real 2 guard. 
where is Henderson, Head, Wilson ? 

 

Kamrin Oriol Is our only 2 guard playing and he is a ball hog who is playing terrible
