Zips' stellar defense clips Broncos

The Zips absolutely shut down Western Michigan's potent offense today in a 69-36 decision in favor of Akron.
The Barbaros — I mean, Broncos — shot just 25 percent from the field. The Zips blocked seven shots and made 10 steals (although both stats seem a little lower than I remember).
The interior defense was particularly suffocating. WMU star Joe Reitz scored only six points on 10 field goal attempts.
On offense, it was Nick Dials from long range and Romeo Travis inside. They scored 12 and 17 respectively. Travis really impressed me with his low post scoring. I don't have rebounding stats in front of me, but it seemed Jeremiah Wood was very active on the boards.

7 blocks as a team? Yeah right, Milum had that by himself. I know that HAS TO BE low.
Also…The 36 points is a JAR Arena record for at least amount of point by an opponent. It was announced in the Tommy Evans at halftime that the previous record was 40 pts by…Western

Wood can be as good as he wants. Period.
