clarkwgriswold Posted January 9, 2021 Report Posted January 9, 2021 Lovely DeKalb, Illinois awaits the Zips for a Tuesday night matchup with the 1-8 Huskies. The Zips are fresh off of taking a big slimy dump in Ypsilanti. Just last week, NIU “separated” from long time head coach Mark Montgomery. The sole Huskies win was on December 18th against Chicago State (apparently, they were unable to squeeze Olivet into the schedule). Thus far in the MAC they have lost to Toledo, BG, OU and Miami. 6’2” sophomore guard Tyler Cochran is the Huskies’ leading scorer and rebounder at 13.8 ppg and 7.4 rpg. They were picked 10th in the MAC Pre-season poll. Quote
Zipmeister Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 What has happened in Huskieville? They suck the big one this year in both football and basketball. One possibility; I heard a rumor they are now requiring that their recruits be able to both read and write. Quote

Basketball- 1-8 Football- 0-6 Baseball- 7-10 Soccer- 7-10-1 Tennis- 6-6 Women's BB- 4-5 Women's Soccer- 2-14-2 Softball- 7-15 There's an awful of athletics misery in DeKalb. Quote
AkronAlumnus Posted January 11, 2021 Report Posted January 11, 2021 Should be a good bounce back game!! 1 Quote
AkronAlumnus Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 Will we see more or less Currie against NIU? Here's hoping for more; I love watching athletes playing to prove something. Against a subpar team (no way this can age badly... right?), he should get some extra minutes leading to establish a role in the rotation!! Quote
LoyalZIP Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 Tip is at 3:00pm EST. Yucky, guess it's radio for me again. Quote

I hate weekday afternoon tips almost as much as midweek MAC football games. I wonder what the logic is. I assume it is a desire to get teams back out of town and avoid overnights during COVID but it's a killer for followers of teams. Quote
NWAkron Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 was just going to post this is at 3pm. ugh, I wouldn't have known (well, i would have looked on ZipsNation at some point) had a work colleague mentioned the time. My philosophy is get the hell out of DeKalb as soon as possible. No haunted hotels. 1 Quote

Yeah, I completely understand the reasoning. I also hate it. Quote

zipsrule Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Don't adjust your TV. Their floor IS dark grey/brown. ? Edited January 12, 2021 by zipsrule Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 Yeah... Groce ripped them all a new one since Saturday. The effort, energy, and overall movement is so much better than Saturday. 1 Quote
zipsrule Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Off to a good star with 11 points in the first 2+ minutes. How long did it takes us to get to 11 last game? Edited January 12, 2021 by zipsrule Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Posted January 12, 2021 It's clear that part of the "ripping" was telling Trimble and Dailey to be aggressive. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Random thought of the day... Anybody else get a sick smirk on their facing when thinking that, we whooped on OU and beat Kent, then both fan bases watched us lose by double digits to EMU leaving them to think about what's wrong with their respective programs? Salt in the wound. Edited January 12, 2021 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 Wynn sighting. He needs to do more of that! Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Posted January 12, 2021 LCJ, Trimble, Tribble, Ali and Currie in. Interesting 5 and proof they're still figuring it out. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Posted January 12, 2021 Oooh, the 1-3-1 zone. Quote
gozips19 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 Not enough outside shooting on this team. Groce is really trying to find some rotations that play well together. Would like to see more Clarke. Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Posted January 12, 2021 This team needs a Tyler Cheese, someone other than LCJ with some grit and determination. 3 Quote
