The core is Tahj, Evan, Pence, White, Hammer, and Oriol. Burton likely joins that group when he's back. Chabi, Perkins, Marvin, and Zach are the support group and Head will join that when he's back eventually. 10-person roster at the moment, eventually 12-man. It's easily deeper than anybody in the MAC and the goal early on is to figure out where the scoring comes from without Tahj. There's plenty of it on this roster, too. Hard not to be excited. 

 

Do we know what is going on with Cody Head?

Hopefully Tulane has already flown in and if they haven't, hopefully the FAA ground stoppage is handled soon.

I imagine they already arrived. I saw on X that there is a managers game scheduled for tonight.

I would imagine with it being an early game tomorrow, they arrived (or at least departed) in the early afternoon today. They'd want to get a shoot around in the evening and then get back to the hotel early(for college kids).

They're in Akron as seen in these IG pictures.

Game Day!!!

Good test today. Go zips!

So what happened to the outback? That section is just completely empty behind the curtain 

[csims0917]

Didn’t really work last year like they wanted. I bet it’s going to be exclusively a private group space from now on

Worst part of Saturday afternoon games. Student section is empty

Small crowd.

 

Time for a Colon White breakout.

Hammer is so active on the boards, basically the opposite of Barre

The score board might not show it, but I think that was a good start for the Zips. Good movement and energy.

College football still ongoing on doesn't help matters.

[Illini Zip]

Passing is off. Little sloppy both ways now.

I think the score is showing it now. 😊

Nice move Barre!!

[clarkwgriswold]

Nice to see the Zips get some work against the zone.

Akron doing a good job stopping the ball when Tulane has tried to score in transition.

Nice hustle by halligan

still doing the dirty work.

Outstanding 30 seconds of Zips ball.  Zack out hustles Tulane to a turnover.  Tai, the smallest guy in the floor gets a rebound over everyone and the possession gets extended for a Hammer dunk.

[Illini Zip]

That was a weak foul on Halligan. 😒

[Illini Zip]

Strong take by the hammer. 💪
