Love seeing Fordham on the bottom left.

This is kind of where I stand. I feel we've find ourselves out of position a lot on defense. Fortunately for us our opponents haven't made us pay (other than Yale). Hopefully this game provides for some good teaching moments for Groce and we can come out with a win. I expect a tightly contested game.

Those guys coming out of IUP always worth a look....Akron.

Perhaps a bad matchup ... but a good test!!!

They will just count as regular season games and not a MTE. We've played in that Don Haskins 4 team tournament that UTEP hosts while also playing in a proper MTE in the same year multiple times. We would just have to sacrifice an additional home game to play 2 neutral court games instead of 1 in that type of scenario.

Sounds like it's off to the races with the Racers 🤦‍♂️

Yep, one game per team. There's four games in total with Akron playing in the first game of the day, followed by three more. Some really decent teams are playing after Akron so it's too bad that it's not a tourney! Akron vs Murray State Santa Clara vs Arizona State UNLV vs Tennessee State UC San Diego vs Tulane

No matter the matchup (except Redwood Tree rosters like Purdue), the opponent will still have to keep up with Akron's offense.

Bad match up for Zips: They rebound well, play fast, and are stingy with 3 point defense.

This should be a high-scoring affair with the Zips averaging 96.2 ppg and Murray State averaging 89ppg. Murray State leads the MCV in 3-point shooting. Will the Zips be able to guard the perimeter? Recently, it seems to be a struggle. Murray also focuses on offensive rebounding to get extra possessions. They've had games with 19 and 16 offensive boards. Can the Zips limit second chance points?

I don't think we would be able to do another tournament since we participated in the Paradise Jam

Looks like they had a few players listed as questionable earlier tonight with "illness" who ended up playing.

I did not realize this was a one game event. I thought it was a tourney where a team would advance. Glad we get a good opponent but disappointed the Zips only get one game.

Although he is with the team, he was still inactive for tonights game.

It's part of the gig if you aren't very marketable or the institution you work for has no idea what to do with you. My guess is Ryan Day doesn't ever talk to a donor who has never given a dollar. His time is probably spent with donors who have already contributed. He doesn't pick up the phone and call anyone at this point. Most fundraising is probably done off season and over lunches.

Frankly ... sports on the radio is the best way to go. I remember growing up listening to Missouri Valley Conference games on the radio.

We're a middle of the road team talent wise based on recruiting rankings, and we finished middle of the road. The fact that JoeMo can even put together middle of the road talent levels with the restrictions he faces is an achievement. Then finishing even where he should based on talent level, given the practice restrictions, is still a notch in his belt. I get he's not out pounding the pavement for donors and maybe that's part of the gig these days, but the guy has done okay with what he has available to him imo

Making a mountain out of a molehill is a good way to justify looking for another conference. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-playoff-selection-notre-dame-ad-miami-acc/
