  1. Some of the PCCC fans are asking a very good question- where were the coaches? There seem to be a couple of non-players in the background. As much as I enjoy Mr. Pinky's recruits showing their true selves, I really hope the Zips don't need "bulletin board material" to get up for this one.
  2. Looking more official- https://www.al.com/sports/2022/03/4-kent-state-basketball-players-suspended-for-profane-social-media-video-directed-at-akron.html
  3. Per the PCCC forum: 4 Players suspended, Jacobs, Hornebek & Rollins for 1st half, DJ Johnson suspended indefinitely.
  4. Translation- if the kids in the video are contributors we'll look into it (next week). If they are not, they may miss Saturday's game.
  5. Congrats to Mr. Pinky on another outstanding recruit. Watch this then watch Freeman in a post-game and you'll see the high and low points of college athletics.
  6. I am in South Carolina so you guys can beat me to the Verizon!
  7. Tonight we gonna party like it's 2011!
  8. I think we'll see something similar to yesterday but I predict the Zips will make the comeback and it will come down to the last 10 seconds.
  9. Dear Basketball Gods- I have only two wishes: 1) Give me another 10 days before I have to post a "21-22 Review/22-23 Looking Ahead Thread"; 2) With the game on the line, please let the Zips player at the line be better than a 67% free throw shooter. Best Regards, Clark W. Griswold
  10. 2 for 1 special! BOGO!
  11. This situation has been the prototype for the old phrase "Addition by Subtraction."
  12. Whitford is really good at getting Indiana high school stars that are well equipped for D2 basketball.
  13. Yep, something to make us proud.
  14. Multiple reporters! Multiple reporters!
  15. I think you are overpaying.
  16. Mballa + Segu= 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist on 2 or 16 from the field. Solid.
  17. Here's hoping Mballa and Segu don't wake up in the second half.
  18. Outrebounded 24-15 overall, 9-5 on offensive rebounds. Ugh.
  19. ...and I had so many other more solid reasons to mock you! LOL.
  20. I don't see them sending the double team at Freeman as Mballa is pretty solid on defense in the post. He was MAC Defensive Player of the Year last year.
  21. The Zips need to maintain their recent improvement in perimeter defense. They did a great job of closing out and playing tighter on the perimeter as the season wound down. Williams and Segu are both decent three points shooters and if they get hot it could really spell trouble for the Zips.
  22. But he did like the Batman movie- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/entertainment/movies/2022/02/28/movie-review-robert-pattinson-brings-different-take-the-batman-matt-reeves/6931565001/
  23. KD was a fine coach. Unfortunately, with coaches, sometimes familiarity breeds contempt in some of the fan base. We had some great times with him but it became almost too routine for some to win 23 to 27 games and the conference regular season championship...wash...rinse...repeat. Without KD the Zips likely would not have established the consistent winning program we have today. We could just as easily be Eastern Michigan if he hadn't built a winning tradition. All that being said, he appeared to have peaked at UA and it was a good time for him to move on both for him and the school. My only regret was that he left the program in shambles as took some valuable players with him that could have helped the transition here. That's all water under the bridge at this point. I'm happy with Groce and I am glad he's here. That doesn't mean I'll feel the same next year or even next week. I've seen a few things this year that haven't pleased me but overall I think he's represented UA well.
  24. Agreed. The MAC coaches give Vander Plas a lifetime achievement award by putting him on the first team. Freeman scores .9 a game less while pulling down over 4 more rebounds a game. He's also a presence on defense. He's more worthy than VDP. For what is is worth, I think Plowden is more deserving than VDP. I'd also take Rollins over Carry for MVP.
