I think we drop this one, with or without Tony.

More of a Must Win for 'Kron than us. Could play into OUr favor.....

I agree. I think we actually match up well without Tone. Carter can extend Big Dog and we have DT to pound in post. Our guards can match up and with Culvers length we can defend the 3.

Key to defending "Big Dog" is running. He's in marginal shape.

We will lead the Kron throughout the game and go on a four to six minute scoring drought at the very end of the game to lose.

We are a 3pt shooting team. If they go down we make it close. If not we get shellacked. Need to make 80% of FT to win in this league.

Is anyone going? I can't go when we host them 2/4 (grr) so may make up for it by going to this.

Was thrilled to see this is set to record from my satellite television provider, meaning it is televised here!

Not too many opportunities, even with expanded sports package. But, i cherish every game i can watch.

+2. BW3 on Exchange closed. Anyone have an idea for a pregame walking distance from the Arena (gym)?

I've been to EuroGyro right up the block from BW3 a couple times. Nothing to get excited about, but clean and the beer is cold.

UofAkron has a 7 game winning streak against the Bobcats?!?

Time for Saul to get number ONE...and the youngsters to get the taste of victory like the DJ's, Reg's and Kellogg's more regularly tasted and stop this streak.

Still operating under a different banner but I can not recall their name. It's an OK spot for a couple of brews though.

No, we won 83-82 at home in Saul's first year. This was one of those nights when Bean was red hot. I thought maybe it could be 7 straight at the JAR, but we won there during the 2013-14 season. We did however drop both last year.

They are currently on a seven game winning streak.

Thank you for the clarity--the headline read going for 8 straight and I thought it was actual wins vs OHIO.

Bottom teams like BG and WMU had close losses at Akron this year. With Tony it's a win, without a win is still in sight.

My heart says the players will want to redeem themselves after what happened on Saturday and gut out a nice road win in a tough gym.

My head makes me think it may be a repeat of what happened down in Huntington earlier this season.

Lets try not to overreact to tonight's 15 point loss. We don't match up well against Akron even with a healthy Tony C. Without him, we are in for a rough night.
