Christian Young committed to Southern Miss.

Zips trail 38-23 at half. Were outscored 18-2 in 2Q. 😳

Fast start ✅. Too bad the 2nd quarter was maybe the worst in the Gensler era. My good feeling was short lived. Talked to Portage Lakes Paul and Wadsworth Wally and they aren’t happy either.

I thought Young was more impactful also.

Today's matchup is of interest as it matches up two programs that are in the third year of a new coach. Former Zips assistant coach Box seems to have turned things around after talking over a really bad situation at Miami. The jury is still out on Gensler's tenure. 🤔

I'm not sure if Freeman had other two-way contract offers last summer, but I am not sure Minnesota is the best fit for him. They've shuffled him back and forth between Minnesota and Iowa but haven't had him active for any games in Minnesota. With Iowa, his usage on offense seems lower than last year with the Mad Ants. Last night, he wasn't even in during crunch time in the last 4 minutes. I really wish he could go elsewhere where there may be more opportunity.

Barberton Bob

More addition by subtraction.

I talk to myself a lot and am an optimist in life, but even I’m not talking myself into a win today. Sounds like Fairlawn Franks been spending a little too much time at….Franks.

Mike Lewis got off to such a great start when he showed up at Ball State 3 or 4 years ago. I really thought he was going to build something and be consistently competitive in the MAC. Since a great first year it's really gone downhill.

First ten minutes and the last 5 were great. The rest, not so much. The bench was very good last night. I like seeing Bowen and Eric start to heat up. Watching Eric grow up over his career is going to be fun. I sure hope we get to watch 4 years of it.

I'm keeping an eye out for Norton Norm.

You've got a good feeling about our playing Miami, who are 11-4 and on a 4-game win streak? Am I missing something?

His 4th school!

Former Zip Marcus Moore heading to Miami (OH).

Didn't see the field again after playing what I’m assuming was the worse game of his collegiate career against Kent.

Did Copley Don create an alter ego so he's not the only one posting? 😊

Transitive win against Kansas state. I mean… good win guys

In terms of rankings this was our best win/game of the season. I don’t think we played our best, but for a conference game on the road I’ll take it

Tavari 7 assists. Likely mostly to Amani? finds another way to contribute.

The Mahaffey brothers kicked that Wol down and then stomped on it. They really came through in the clutch when the game was on the line. I cannot remember the last time Tavari shot this poorly. Great that his team stepped up to secure the win.

I felt we looked pretty flat offensively outside of the first ~10 minutes. Not enough ball movement and often forced to put up not so great shots near the end of the shot clock. Still a 10 point road win in MAC play against a fairly good opponent. I'll gladly take it.

Man, it has to be discouraging to know that you only beat another team on average between every 3 to 4 years.

Getting on the floor while up 10 with 12 seconds left. You have to love the effort from Groce teams.

Ball State comes to the JAR Tuesday night to face the Zips. The Cardinals stand at 4-11 headed into Saturday’s game at UMASS. The Cardinals have the lowest scoring offense in the MAC, scoring 67.2 ppg. However, they give up the lowest point on average at 69.2 ppg. Safe to say, they slow things down. 6’2” sophomore guard Davion Hill leads scoring at 10.9 ppg. 6’4” junior guard Armoni Ziegler scored 10.2 ppg while contributing 4.8 rpg.
