He was involved in that point shaving scandal that came out a few weeks ago. The incidents he is connected to are before his time at EMU.

Oh, I didn't realize it was a suspension. I just assumed injury.

Hmm, I didn't realize that and didn't look at the box scores. I just relied on my memory which is clearly flawed 🤣 Well, in that case, it's especially concerning for MMK because those games were before Chabi returned and he's not likely to see an increase in minutes now.

Carlos Hart scored 32 of their 72 points in our first matchup and is suspended. We scored 92 points and beat them by 21 despite shooting 16% from three. We should handle them pretty easily.

Aside from his 1 minute against Kent, MMK only played 3 minutes in each of the Toledo and Ohio games after playing about 8-12 minutes per game the rest of MAC play so this may not be just because of the Kent matchup.

I do think EMU is better than their 3-7 conference record, as they've had some close losses that would have them around even in the conference. But with some injuries on their end, and our team back to full strength, this should be an easy win.

Agreed, Marvin was undersized against Kent, but he should be back in there more tomorrow night.

Dude has been a class act every step of the way.

I would think Chabi will play 10-15 minutes/game moving forward. That's what he was getting a night the last few games leading up to his injury. When we face Kent again, and assuming Whaley plays, I wouldn't be shocked if we see Amani and Chabi on the court at the same time for stretches of the game. We don't have much need to deviate from our 4 guard lineup as it matches up well against most MAC teams. Kent is kind of the one team that has both depth and size in the paint. The rebounding edge they had against us is still a concern. Had they shot even a horrible 25% from 3 that would have been a much different game because of all the extra possessions those rebounds gave them.

I think that’s all it was.

And all neutral/road games.

All of our wins are by 10+ points, so that certainly helps. Plus, two of the four losses were by 3 points.

Despite the lack of Q1/Q2 opportunities and success on the resume, Akron being 50th in NET shows how strong our performance metrics are.

Troy ruined our chance of another Q2 chance so we’re kind of screwed their unless we face Miami in the tournament

Zips are at 50 in NET and Miami is now 53. With BG's loss at CMU on saturday that knocked out our only Q2 win. Not that any of that really matters for us, but we are now showing 0-4 against Q1&Q2, 16-0 against Q3&Q4

Jay Bilas recently talked about Miami and their odds of making the tournament. He very politely ripped their schedule, talked about their KenPom, and mentioned that their only top 100 is Akron (he then said Akron is VERY good). Those who know ball know Miami are frauds until they aren't. February and March will be the tell all.

I wish we would see him more. It's tough when you have a lot of depth, but I'd give a cut of Halligan's nightly minutes to him. You can see his potential when he is out there, he just needs to get experience.

I think we're getting a bit carried away now. We discuss all sorts of topics on ZN, from the players to the coaches to the in-game entertainment to observations about the game. I understand religion can be a touchy subject for some, but it was a short discussion about something related to the Zips, everyone was respectful, and the conversation seems to have run its course.

I loved Chabi's minutes Friday night. I thought he changed the vibe on the court while he was out there. We're going to want a healthy Chabi for when Kent gets Whaley back. I'm fine with Oggie sitting and learning, though if that's how the rest of the year plays out I guess we could/should have redshirted him this year?

I like Chabi, but I also like to see Marvin out there. Maybe its more of a matchup thing but Marvin only getting 2 minutes on Friday is unfortunate. I don't mind seeing Oggie's role right now, he is a freshman on an experienced team like this, it seems okay for this year.

That's what happens when people make politics their identity. There is an off topic section on this forum. If people wish to engage in those kind of discussion it should be moved there. I'll just be sure to avoid those threads.

I might be in the minority, but from my eye test when I've seen him on the floor he still looks very raw and appears to still be adapting to the American game. Him joining the team so late didn't help his cause. He could have probably used an extra ~3 months of practice in the offseason.

Hold him out of warmups?

How is it possible to see less?

Sorry, all kidding aside I agree with @clarkwgriswold Go Zips!!
