They called Akron for an offensive foul and it looked like Trimble hit Carry pretty hard two or three times before they finally called it. Carry was arguing he got elbowed in the head but the announcers thought he was arguing it should be an offensive foul because they thought it was called a defensive foul.

Then the play where the fans were warned for throwing things on the court, Jacobs was on a run out and was fouled pretty hard. He seemed to be gesturing at the refs when he was laying against the stanstion and the PA announcer immediately warned the fans. What happened there? Was something thrown at Jacobs specifically? We don't know because the announcers didn't really say anything. Interesting note that Jacobs appeared to lead the run over to the student section after the buzzer.

Let’s be very clear. ESPN announcers were not in the building last night they were elsewhere.
Gaffs were prominent and consistent, wrong players names throughout the game.

Also as far as MAC being oldest D1 in nation. Not true but it’s in top 10.
Fordham older and several Ivys. Also I believe Minnesota and Northwestern are ancient.

Problem with MAC center is not the age it’s the maintenance. Bathrooms are third world and always dirty or with plumbing issues

Any comparison to Cameron ( I’ve attended game there) is ridiculous.
It’s like saying Yankee Stadium and Rubber Bowl are similar because they used the same construction contractor.

Kent State does not honor its history. Two NCAA wrestling national championships were held there in the 60’s . When it was suggested that a banner be hung to commemorate the history and offers made to pay for the banners the administration totally rejected.
