Young gives a great deal of effort on defense and is the Zips best smaller defender but can be taken advantage of on switches due to his size.

I think Sharron is a very good defender. Zack's decent. However, those two are contributing little else at this point. I sure wish Sharron would break out of his shooting slump. This year his FG% was 40% and he's shooting 30% from 3. Last year he 46% and 40%.

Sharron seems to have lost his offensive game.

The Zips are off until Friday when UMASS comes into the JAR for the first time. UMASS comes in at 15-10 overall and 6-6 in the MAC. They are coming off a 3 point loss to Coastal Carolina in the MAC/Sun Belt Challenge. The game is at 9:00 (yawn) on CBS Sports Network 6'9" grad student forward Leonardo Bettiol leads UMASS in scoring and rebounding at 17.6 ppg and 7.6 rpg. 6'3" grad student guard Marcus Banks is second in scoring at 16.8 ppg. They are 6th in standings, 6th in team offense and seventh in defense in the MAC.

Rough shooting for 3 games in a row now.

6:05 tip per ESPN

I like YSU's arena and would be content with that type of upgrade. Seat backs on the sides, bring the top seats forward, bleachers on the ends, ditch the glass rail, give Clarkie front row seats for his input...

I'd be content with a solution that involved upgrading the seating and getting rid of the track.

Don't forget guys, the game is at 6:00.

Turning the corner?

The MAC/Sun Belt Challenge resumes this Saturday with the Zips heading to Troy for a 6:00 matchup on ESPN2. Troy is 15-8 going into Wednesday’s game against Georgia State. They are in first place in conference the Sun Belt at 8-3. They are first in scoring offense at 83.7 ppg and ninth in defense 75.7 ppg. 6’8” junior forward Thomas Dowd leads the Sun Belt in rebounding at 10.4 rpg and is second on the team in scoring at 14.9 ppg. 6’7” junior forward Victor Valdes leads Trojans scoring at 16 ppg.

Habnab appears to employ Michael Phelps' cupper.

Lucky.

30 points under their basketball IQ average.

Senior leaders letting the team down tonight.

We have some guys that are just not good defenders.

Stan Heath's offense looks like a team of transfers in their first practice together. The Zips haven't looked much better.

Maybe his worst game of the season.

The top, bottom and side edges are in play.

Yep, need some energy and momentum plays.

Eastern is bad and the Zips are playing down to them. The Zips seem to have one of these WTF games every year and I was afraid today that this could be the one.

Sloppy half. Post-rivalry hangover.

I hope this is the game Sharron finds his shot.

I think the camera guy is drunk. Way too much motion.

Just a reminder guys, the game is at 6:30.
