According to PFF, he played in all 12 games and started two. He was targeted 31 times, giving up roughly 61% completion and over 420 yards. That’s not good. For comparison, Reed was targeted 40 times, allowed about 57%, but gave up only 205 yards. Newsome clearly has the physical ability. I’m hoping the rest of his game can get cleaned up and he produces at a higher level for us.

21 points, 16 rebounds for Enrique last night 💪

From what I can tell, also had offers to NMSU, Arkansas State, and Liberty this cycle.

Been thinking of taking PTO that day😂

Former Zips long snapper Emmet Rhoades committed to South Carolina.

Might have to stay at rocket arena from 11-9pm on Thursday of the Mac tournament this year

They’ll make a late surge with the easier schedule and will be a really tough 6 seed in Cleveland

The MAC schedule maker did BG no favors. Their first 5 MAC games of the season: OU; Miami; UMASS; PCCC; Akron.

he will be TOS soon enough.

I think CMU may have found a winner in that new head coach.

I was traveling all day until now and just saw the CMU win. Great surprise!

CMU beat PCCC

I have not seen any of the games but when I look at the box score he just has not been playing well since he returned to Iowa. In one game he was a minus 26. The last game he shot 1 of 5 from 3 and only had 3-4 rebounds. After he returned to Iowa he seems to be shooting more three balls but has not been making them. Hopefully, he can turn things around the next game.

Would be a great pickup in my opinion. Plenty of upside potential.

gotta love the scoring distribution 18-15-14-10-9-6-4

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.

More addition by subtraction.
