Some Random team from Ohio, and i'm sure Arkansas has nothing to worry about. Akron has 10 straight 21+ win seasons. A huge test for Arkansas and it should be a good measuring block to see how we are as a basketball team as of right now.
quote:
The Zips from Akron, Ohio, play in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). Akron finished seventh in the MAC last season, but advanced to the third round of the conference tournament before losing to eventual champion Buffalo in the semifinals. Overall, the team went 21-14, including notable non-conference wins over USC and South Carolina.
quote:
Akron returns 75 percent of its scoring from last season, including senior center Pat Forsythe and sophomore guard Noah Robotham, who each averaged 9.9 points per game. As a team, the Zips hit 9.4 three-pointers per game in 2014-15 and six players averaged at least one per game. Of those six players, five return to play for the 2015-16 season.
quote:
“We have a team coming in here that is really, really good. Akron is a team that returns four starters from a team that won 21 games. Coach Dambrot does a tremendous job; I have always admired watching his team from afar. Their big guys are really skilled. It’s a team that has a lot of depth. It is going to a heck of a ball game. It is going to be a big time challenge for our team with the inexperience that we have. It could quite possibly be their experience versus our inexperience but it should be a great ball game as we start the preseason NIT.” – Mike Anderson

quote:no the alternate is just the overflow channel for SECN when they have games that run longer than they should, SECN+ is on watchespn only.

They return 8 of their top 9 from last year. Senior laden team that will beat us down if we don't play well.

Twitter should be fun tonight if we lose to Akron on the same day Monk commits elsewhere.
