Our arch rivals from Brimfield come to Infocision on the 20th at noon to face the Zips. Going into their game tonight they are 5-4 coming off of wins over OU and NIU.

That's the perfect example of one of my basketball pet peeves, that no ref ever calls a moving pick/screen. Though, I guess if they did games would take 4 hours with all of the pick and rolls.

The smaller faster DL is really paying dividends. Only 260 yards given up on the ground so far.

The home season opens Saturday with Point Park University coming into the JAR. Point Park plays in the River States Conference and were picked in the conference coaches poll to finish 7th out of 14 teams in the conference. Point Park was 8-9 last year. They return 2 starters, 6-1 senior guard Sherrron Schifino who scored 14.5 ppg and 5-10 senior guard Jesse Calloway who scored 9.6 ppg. Schifino was named to the All-RSC Second Team in 2020-21.

Agreed. Looks like Walton and Freeman both chased the guard. One switched and one didn't. In any event, Ali shouldn't end up on that bruiser down low.

He switched on a pick and was chasing outside. Ali came late on a switch. I'd have like to have seen Bandaogo and Freeman both down low as they were running picks and seals inside all night.

F@*k. Bad late switch, Ali ends up on the big guy that killed us all night. Proud of the boys.

Ali for 3 + 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrong guys handling the ball late.

Couple of ugly important possessions there.

No Wynn again tonight. In uniform but not in.

What a chicken$h!+ foul call.

11% from the three point line. Yikes. Down a TD and two point conversion at half. I'll take that from the football team.

What did Trimble do? Announcers in the same zip code would sure help.

SVSM's freshman Branham in for the Buckeyes. Let's not give Ahrens open 3's. Dawson off to a rough start.

OSU's big man, Key, abusing the Zips big men.

Bad ESPN feed is aggravating.

X. Walton, Trimble, Ali and Freeman to start.

I guess it depends on the definition of national television. Between the Zips often playing basketball on Tuesday nights and the MAC has gone to Tuesday night football and overlapping Saturdays, I suspect there have been some instances where the teams were on lesser platforms like EPSN3, etc.

Now they're going to merge with the Horizon League...

I think that's pretty solid. If Groce is concerned with OSU's size, I could see him go a lineup with both Freeman and Bandaogo as we saw late against WV. This is going to be a different team than we're used to without so many shooters.

I'm a little concerned that the Zips D is going to get manhandled by WMU's running game tonight.

Prop bet- who loses by more- football or basketball? I'm going football. Basketball keeps it within a couple of touchdowns.
