Impact Trimble started the first 22 games he appeared in this season for Akron, averaging 10.6 ppg on 36.2 percent shooting. He was then benched for a Feb. 17 and hasn't appeared since, missing what's now a total of eight games. The absence has ultimately been addition by subtraction for the Zips, who are a perfect 8-0 in that span. While coach John Groce was clear to refer to this as a "leave of absence" and not a suspension, it seems unlikely that it would suddenly end in time for postseason play.
