This team is roasting hot.  Honestly, even though I expected a closer game...I wasn't at all surprised by us destroying them.  I have so much confidence in this team right now.  On a neutral court, we are without question the favorites in the conference.  Sure we could stumble, but in the end we are right where we thought we would be - The team nobody wants any part of in March.  They're playing like I had envisioned them playing all year before the season begun. 

I love the offense!  We seem quicker and playing with more intensity, the ball movement has just been fantastic, and players are taking good high percentage shots.  Ricardo & Reggie have really come on of late and are worthy of the few extra minutes they've been getting.  They can really be a big help to us in the tourney, especially if Ivo & Devo keep getting in foul trouble. 

Ironic that DJ couldn't miss from 3 and Tommy couldn't buy one, given their 3 pt percentage coming in.  The team is doing a great job recognizing who has the hot hand on a given night and creating opportunities for them.  DJ knows when his shot is working and when it's not.  I don't know if he'll win POY, but he is the best player in the conference period.

I'll concede part of Akron's struggles were just plain not shooting terribly well, but overall the defense did a great job of locking down and not giving up open looks.  The rebounding is also greatly improved...They're just going after it and boxing out with so much more intensity.  If we play intense defense and rebound like that, we cannot be stopped.

Great atmosphere last night, one of the best I've seen on a weeknight in awhile.  We should have a large crew in Oxford Friday and in Cleveland next weekend.

I can tell you I got into Abreu's head.  At least three times I was talking to him and he looked right at me and responded.

Cvetinovic and McKnight both decided to do a little taunting early on.  I don't know what it is about Akron players that they always want to mix it up with the O Zone.

That's awesome!!!

I think it starts at the top.  Akron completely reflects Dambrot and his personality. 

I thought Chris was going to walk onto the court at one point.

He also was not pleased when Brett got yanked and Dambrot started tearing into him on the bench. I think on the next possession McKnight's replacement, Josh Egner, threw the ball out of bounds on a fast break. Chris stood up and started yelling something at Dambrot. That was one unhappy bench. Lots of finger-pointing and talking back to the coach. Definitely didn't look like a team that had won 7 straight.

Kinda like this?
