clarkwgriswold Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 At last, a decent team, the Detroit Mercy Titans, comes to the JAR Saturday evening. Detroit is led by freshman Antoine Davis, the second leading scorer in the country at 30 ppg. There is indeed an advantage to being the coach's kid, as the head coach is Antoine's dad. The JAR hasn't seen a father/son, coach/player combo like this since the McDermotts with Creighton. Detroit Mercy may as well join the MAC. They are 3-4, with wins against BGSU and EMU and losses to WMU and PCCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 PCCC was down 8 with 1 1/2 left last night and then went on a 14-2 run to win. It should be a decent test to see how we stack up against some of the other MAC teams considering we're the 5th MAC team to play them.

And before that, Central Michigan and before that we had our own version (but we won't go there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted November 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 I just realized that Detroit's coach, Mike Davis, is the same Mike Davis that coached Indiana a while back. I think he succeeded Bobby Knight. I see that Mike Davis Jr.. is one of his assistants. Between that and his other kid being on the team, he's get the full benefit of Detroit Mercy! Here's a nice pre-season preview of the Titans- http://horizonleague.org/news/2018/10/22/mens-basketball-2018-19-hlmbb-preview-detroit-mercy.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip JD Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Excellent reporting Clark. Next time GT falls asleep at the game (assuming he shows up) you should write the article. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) I'm quite excited for this game. I'm hoping for a double digit victory as a mini-statement to the rest of the MAC.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Cool tidbit for tonight: with French and company in South Carolina, the game will be called on the radio by Jim Rosenhaus. If anybody sees him around the JAR, let's get his opinion on the Gomes trade and other Indians trade rumors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 The Zips have been taking a lot of 3 point attempts and are ranked 25th in the nation in 3 point attempts. But we rank 189th in percentage made. In other words we love the 3 point shot but we just don't sink a whole lot. We are currently shooting 33% on 3 pointers. This reminds me of the kd teams that just loved to shoot the 3. I would like to see Utomi take the ball inside and finish inside. He seems to hesitate after driving to the basket and get stuck underneath looking for an option. About two thirds of his attempts are from the 3 line. I like the way this team pushes the ball up the court and they seem to be playing better defense. Looking for a Zips win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 The refs are letting them play for the most part so the Zips have to be stronger with the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipfan84 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Pretty good ball movement. Not surprised by number of 3s. Nature of the beast against the zone. Need a little better spacing and to finish strong at the hoop when the opportunities are there. 2nd half let's cut down on the turnovers and I think all will be ok, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
