clarkwgriswold Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 The Zips shuffle off to Buffalo after the holiday break to face our long time Canadian rivals on New Year’s night. The Canucks are 3-3 and will not have played since December 19th due to cancellations. They were picked 4th in the MAC Pre-season Poll. They have wins over Towson, Miami and Mercyhurst and losses to Army, Bowling Green and Syracuse (in OT). They are led by SVSM grad All-MAC Pre-season Team guard Jayvon Graves who is averaging 17.3 ppg, 4 apg and 7 rpg. 6’5” junior forward Jeenathan William leads scoring at 19.8 ppg and 8.3 rpg. Second team ALL-MAC preseason forward F Josh Mballa scores 13.7 ppg while kicking in 5.7 rpg. The game is at 7:00 p.m.. Unfortunately, it is on the CBS Sports Network rendering it unavailable for many of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I thought I heard Groce mention in post game that they are preparing for Central Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronAlumnus Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I'll take CMU over Buffalo any day, especially early!! Zips are vulnerable down low and Buffalo's center is a beast. We're well coached, JG will have our guys ready for Buffalo when the time arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Well sH!+, off to make another thread. I was worried when I saw all of Buffalo's cancellations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I feel like I said it in another thread, but its better we had our COVID issues in the irrelevant non-conference rather than now. Getting a crappy seed due to cancelling multiple conference games would suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
