I remember when this game was always an elbow to elbow sellout.

Yeah? Definitely not one by the looks of it tonight. A lot of students there though. But I think we are louder!

Completely random fact, Nirvana played their last concert ever in Ohio at the JAR, Halloween 1993.

Watching Friday nite hoops after a trip across Muncie for Wings and an interesting Peanut Butter Stout brewed in Nashville IN.

This is gonna be a war. Athletes on both sides and a packed JAR should be interesting.

Going up to sign into CHat for anyone who wants to join and talk hoops.

Akron and Kent (particularly Akron) have absolutely horrific arenas which mean that anyone who has experienced one elbow-to-elbow game there is unlikely to return due to injuries sustained from colliding elbows.

LOL! Convo is still the best arena in the MAC!

Listening

Sounds loud and exciting game. Now tied at 49 with 8+ to go. Blocks and steals and loose balls galore.

Kent squeezes it out 66-64. Taunting the Akron student section on their way out

Looked like Jacobs from Kent had some contact with the Akron fans after the game. Not needed. If you win, give a wave from afar and move on...

Stay classy Kent. Hope we can wipe the floor at their place later in a few weeks.

Akron has a much easier path moving forward, they should be in the top 3-4 at the end.

Long way to go for Kent and us. They’ve got a good chance for 2nd based on future schedule strength if they get by us. Kent has it really tough.

That final shot was horrendous. But at least it was a shot. Right Mr Simmons.

Fun game with good atmosphere. Too bad it was wasted on ESPN with announcers calling the game from their basements. Another 2-hour informercial for Saturday's P5 matchups.

I find it so incredibly comical reading the Zips board. Maybe the most classless group of fans in the MAC with their junior high-level names for other MAC schools, whining about opponent’s class when they lose. As Kenny Banya would say to Jerry Seinfeld, “it’s gold!”

haha that was wild. ESPN had the perfect camera angle on that too, middle fingers flying everywhere.

The Kent post-game taunt got a lot of national coverage. Saw Barstool talking about it among others. I agree the wave from a distance is fine but to run up 3 feet away from them to taunt...that's a bit aggressive. Does anyone know if Senderhoff gave his thoughts on his team deciding to do this?

When raucous mid-major student sections are pretty much extinct, it's no surprise the one night Kent plays in front of one as the road team, they get real excited after a win.
