I was at both games in Akron. No doubt there was a good crowd for the Akron game. They have been winning and that sure helps build a following. As for the atmosphere, I couldn't get past the dark blue color everywhere. No brightness in my opinion and a definite poor atmosphere for me. Yes they did have their activities etc., but the darkness and colors did nothing but hurt the atmosphere in my opinion. I think our gym with new bleacher seats that are permanent will make Beegley far better.
As for our team, one thing about basketball is height and shooting ability are very important. We were short on those important ingredients. I really think that Kent's height and our style played right into Kent's plan and gave them easy baskets and deflated our player will by the 2nd half. It will take time to get our new plan in place. In the first half when we only pressed occasionally, it worked better for us. And remember Dom from our past. He had shooters shoot and set them up to shoot. We may need to do more of that with our current group.
