I'm not questioning they are favorites in any particular game, but odds are they still lose at least 1 game. No MAC team has gone undefeated in conference play since 1958, which was ironically Miami who went 12-0. In that time between then and now we've seen some terrific teams Wally Miami, Kent State Elite 8, Buffalo a few years back to name a few. They all had at least 1 loss and frankly they would all be heavy favorites over this years Miami team. If the MAC was as bad as it was last year I would think the possibility would be greater, but this year there are plenty of MAC teams capable of sneaking up on you. EMU beat Cincy, BG knocked off Kansas State, UMass beat 2 P4, and even Ohio knocked off a fairly good St. Bonaventure. Edit: I want to be clear my comment wasn't meant to be a knock to Miami. I feel their start is better than many are giving them credit for. I understand their SOS is very weak, but it's more challenging to consistently win games you're expected to than what people give it credit for. Look at Akron as a prime example. 3 out of our 4 losses we entered into the game as the Vegas favorite, but lost.

Durham DID NOT enter the portal. He announced that he was entering, but he never officially signed or withdrew. You can come up with your own reasoning, but he is still on the team and NOT in the portal.

Against respectable teams, it would be a 32 minute game and a 40 minute loss.

Groce: “was it a 32 minute game or 40 minute game? I think our players thought it was a 32 minute game”

I guess he saw the writing on the wall after Tomlin resigned.

Zips lose 82-68 at UMass, ironically to another 3rd year coach who has turned his program around. Zips are now 10-31 in the MAC under Gensler. Just saying it can be done a lot better.

That's the 9th new OL Coach J-Rod's signed this cycle.

I believe when you lose to someone like that, it needs to be in quotation marks (e.g., "Northwood") 😂

I was told they are legit

Pretty good game Friday night with Toledo vs Kent

Maybe I need to be really clear. Look at the spelling of chairback again. This came from a high level University poster. 🙂

Did their laundry person mix their whites with their reds?

In my opinion, the only team undefeated at the end wears black and white stripes.

We didn't have a Big 12 roster being paid a reported $5.1 million. Nor a HC making $3.5 million/yr, an assistant coach pool of $5 million, and a support staff pool of $2.5 million.

Hopefully, Sharron can get back before the road trip but he looked to be in a lot of pain.

Agree with everyone else. Two home games in a row with garbage endings. I swear with less than 3 minutes left the away basket expands and every junk 3 goes through the hoop. Fun Fact: Ball State only lost by 9 to Miami. Albeit, at home.

Effort is fixable though, talent is not.

Exactly. This team's propensity to let up with a big lead is maddening. Don't let up on the gas. It would be different if this happened with backups in the game late but it's happening with our vets on the floor.

Buffalo and BG are on fraud watch until further notice

They would prefer to call it salmon color. Not that it’s any better.

Seems like a solid crowd for a Tuesday night game vs Ball State.

You can tweet him too

dr. Goodrich, if you're monitoring, please fix listen live in the zips app 🙏

The next time I gripe about the Zips perimeter defense remind me of Ball State's.

Also it looks like chabi doesn’t have a cast any more, looks to be more of a splint

Get hyped: Conner groce on fire from 3 in warm ups

I would just be excited to see what the "chariback" experience is like.

Stealing the basketball gameplan from a couple years back...get a bunch of Mountaineers on the team.

Kicker/Punter

It's a little early but I thought I'd put this here. Forewarned is foretold. You have to have your head examined to sit on the west side. The sun will be brutal for the first half at least.

The whiteboard is back! Sorry fellas I’ve been sick so I haven’t been in the office. The biggest risers have definitely been murray state and Miami. Biggest fallers are bowling green, Kent and Yale (Brutal loss to Princeton)

I look forward to the day the number of people destitute from gambling addictions is so high the government forgives their debts and makes the responsible citizens pay for the bailout.

Boswell hitting the portal...
