Lots of defense in that BG/WMU game. It's going to be a weird year in the MAC.

Tough to forget when it was in the immediately preceding yours! LOL. The Chipps have obviously had an up and down year.

Some real gems in this EMU/Akron thread- https://csnbbs.com/thread-963349.html

Nice show for the scouts.

We should probably be happy they were only motioning guns.

Looks like he's been out since their game November 23rd. Barbee summed it up after the Robert Morris loss- “It was a product of not having Kevin Miller, the best point guard in our conference,” said head coach Tony Barbee. “He is the head of our ship and it's obvious when he's not available to play, we do not have a point guard.” Somehow, that Miller-less team beat Michigan then lost to EMU.

Those California Baptist women are pretty gritty. Their men's team, not so much. They got pounded by CMU.

Mount Pleasant awaits the Zips this Tuesday as they head north to face the 6-10 Central Michigan Chippewas. The Chippewas are 1-2 in the MAC and face Buffalo tonight. The Chippewas Beat Miami yet somehow lost to EMU and NIU. CMU Is led by Second Team All-MAC 6'0" sophomore guard Kevin Miller at 18.5 ppg. Miller is an alum of Victory Rock Prep. 6'6" senior guard Brian Taylor scores 14.4 ppg while hauling down 6.6 rpg to lead the Chipps in rebounding. 6'3" junior guard Jesse Zerzuela averages 14.7 ppg. They were predicted to finish 10th in the MAC this season.

Who was primarily responsible for guarding Bates?

Evan Wilson has doubled Emoni's point total for the night. If Evan Wilson gets into a game against a MAC opponent, that team should be immediately relegated to the Horizon League.

He couldn't bear to watch the carnage any longer.

The best is still the fake banner at PCCC! I will give credit to this new group of kids. They're showing up in nice numbers. They're just not as original as the old rowdies.

Heath is 223-240 in his career. Yikes. He is though 4-0 in fooling D1 athletic directors. Those that worked the Bates deal were promised season tickets. They are now thinking that they got the short end of that deal.

I was unexpectedly called out of town so I won't be able to go tonight. It's up to the rest of you to take my place in yelling valuable insights to Groce!

There's a good YouTube wrapup of that game but it won't let me post it.

I'm a little slowwww this morning. I am functioning at a PCCC level of reading comprehension.

I recall seeing the ankle news a while back, but the "out for the season" news is new. Ugh.

The JAR welcomes the 4-12 EMU Eagles this Friday. Despite bringing in one of college basketball's top transfers, Emoni Bates, Stan Heath's squad has struggled, going 3-10 in the OOC schedule and 1-2 in the MAC. The Eagles MAC win came over CMU. Eastern is 8th in the MAC in team offense at 73.1 ppg and last in defense giving up 80.1 ppg. The 6'10" Bates leads EMU in scoring and rebounding at 20.9 ppg and 6.0 rpg. 6'4" sophomore guard Tyler Acuff is the second leading scorer at 12.7 ppg. It will interesting to see how the Zips defend Bates. Will they send a less mobile big at him or use a smaller player to pester him?

Neither coach going to get an award for execution out of timeouts tonight. Thanks to the BG Falcons.

Metheny 3 in our future?

Nice plan coming out of the timeout. Wasted your last timeout for that?

The BG coaching staff will never be accused of having sagging trousers.

On roller skates.

Going with the vets this half. Has Tavari even been in this half?
