Game 2- Muskingum

[Reslife4Life]

I did not realize terry Weigand retired. I remember ford mentioning how it was nice that he was returning 

[Blue & Gold]

Nice looking crowd tonight

[Reslife4Life]

Everyone struggling at the free throw line

[WeRise225]

Tahj is very nice

62 or 51? Didn't realize ESPN was tracking the score, and they have 51.

The radio guys said to be careful shaking Tahj’s hand right now because he’s so hot. 🤣🤦‍♂️💪

17 at the half and Akron is shooting 53% from 3P. 

 

I hope they pull Tahj in the second half. Team needs to figure out where the scoring is going to come from without him or Mahaffey.

Really good use of the video board this season. Multiple videos using the players in both ads and just fun videos 

[Reslife4Life]

No one mentioned it earlier, shammah Scott’s mom accepted his ring on his behalf during the ceremony

Does Perkins get any playing time this year or is he buried on the bench?

I think he'll be Tahj's primary backup, 10-12 minutes a game.

[csims0917]

He’ll get time definitely as the backup ball handler

Devan Christian intrigues me. How does he look out there?

[kreed5120]

So was it revealed what was in the $750 mystery box? I ended up sitting out this game so I didn't see the drawing.

Just watched Ford's press conference on YouTube. 

 

- Complimented the crowd, especially th3 student turnout.

- Mentioned KD was there tonight, that he has been to 7-8 practices, and has been very helpful to Coach Ford since taking over. 

- Ford's dad played at Muskingum and has several other family connections to them. 

 

[Blue & Gold]

Was going to mention I saw KD at the game.

 

Tai Perkins is going to be good!

 

Josh Henderson in a full-leg knee brace. Praying for a speedy and full recovery.

Young and not very strong, but talented.  Young and strong can change.

At the basketball golf outing he drove around in the cart with Ford for the better part of the day.

 

Unrelated - I asked KD about his wife's health, and he said she was doing well. Her cancer treatments were coming to a successful close! 💪

No, they announced who won in the second half and they picked up their prize in the lobby
