Love it. Go Zips!

Show time.

It's a ballroom. D1 basketball should not be played there, hence why Cleveland State was invited.

Helps when their competition is as weak as it has been. Cleveland State beat D3 Capital by 1, lost in buzzer beater fashion to a really bad Loyola team, and they were so bad vs Northwestern the Evanston police started a missing persons search for the whole team. Kent beat them by 7 and let them put up 95. The UNCW game, which is supposedly a good win, didnt feature much competition for Gillespie. UNCW's big wasn't much to write home about. Based on these early performances by Kent, I think they'll be ~.500 in the MAC. EDIT: Didn't realize Kent plays Cleveland State again later this week. What a joke their schedule is.

Strong optimism for the MAC to start the season. Murray State looks like it will be a great matchup. Yale could be an opponent in the Paradise Jam.

We scored 79 with a not-so-great second half. 90 was absolutely in play. Heck, if the officiating is just slightly less egregious, 90 would've been in play. Lots to learn from this game, but I love where the ceiling appears to be for this team.

He just had solid end of game minutes vs the #2 team in the country and played with poise. Legitimate chance they're viewing him as a potential scholarship guy next year.

Covered the spread. Only scored 1 less pt than Bama did vs Purdue. All this despite an obvious officiating scandal. Go Zips!

Big Stank is impressive.

Love Young. What a pest.

Redshirt.

Defense travels if you're allowed to play defense.

21 pt game. 2 things in play - can we cover and can we score more than Bama?

Barre is in.

Did they just call a foul on MMK for boxing out? Somebody should tell the refs these blowhards calling the game lecture Amani about not boxing out earlier in the game.

I think they've finally cracked a bit and I don't blame them.

I love when the 5'11" guards facing a team of trees get called for physicality fouls. "Tampax - the official tampon of the Big Ten." - Ricky Bobby (probably)

They just called an offensive foul on Tavari lol.

Tavari has lost his foster a bit right now. Need that to stay competitive.

Have to give the shooter room to land. It was the right call.

Push off by their big and a moving screen by their big. Neither called. I'd take the ball and go home if I was Groce. This is as blatant as it gets.

I thought so at first as well, but then he maintained the same energy, maybe even increased the vitriol, and walked to the baseline ref to give him a piece of his mind. It was right after we got called for a foul fighting through a screen.

Forever screw them for what they did to Budler.

Was he yelling at the players or the refs? In that same sequence, he was working both officials hard.

13 pt game with this officiating is just fine. Heck of a first half. 39 pts vs the #2 team in the country with a HUGE foul discrepancy.
