Milwaukee beat South Dakota State!

Brad Bournival of the Beacon did an article this morning on Stefan and Remi being drafted. Quotes from Stefan and Coach Embick. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/mls/2025/12/19/mls-superdraft-akron-zips-stefan-dobrijevic-remi-agunbiade/87844692007/?tbref=hp "This year he came back and really wanted to prove himself," Zips coach Jared Embick said of Agunbiade. "Anytime you can get drafted and show you're on the right path to make the pros is a huge confidence boost. Hopefully, we can take advantage of that." "He's(Remi) more of the modern player," Embick said. "He's strong and physical and has the attributes to fit in the next level. For him, it's about maturing his game to play all around at that level. If he can, like all new players, it'll be a role off the bench as a super sub, and then it'll be more and more playing time from there."

No Nate Johnson one-handed dunk disasters last night.

That's how I interpreted it as well. It definitely seemed like we had fewer breakdowns defensively. Nearly every 3-pointer EMU shot a Zips defender had a hand in their face.

He has dunked in at least 1 game before. My man has hops. Great game tonight.

It's no coincidence that the two kids who play the hardest on defense started tonight. I suspect the message got through.

Wedding anniversary. Told my wife I love her so much, I'm skipping the game vs. EMU. Shot 17% from 3P and still put up 93 points while winning by 21. Alrighty then. That has to scare the crap out of the MAC lol. What an offense.

Can someone explain the "Luck" calculation on KenPom? Zips are negative .268, which apparently means unluckier than average. I can think of a few factors that might affect the luck calculation: Opponents foul shooting percentage. Not much defense involved in foul shooting, so in a game like Yale when the opponent shoots much higher than their average, you had bad luck. Maybe the pressure of a tight game, etc. affects foul shooting, but mostly luck. 3 Point shooting also has a bit of luck involved. Most 3-point shots are not taken unless they are open shots. A good defense may force a few time clock beater shots, but not most. If a team shoots 56% on threes, when they typically shoot around 40%, some of that could be bad defense, but also could be just bad luck. Maybe playing against a team with an injured player is considered good luck. Is this a factor? Or playing without a player who is injured on your team is considered bad luck? Anything else? I do not subscribe to KenPom so maybe subscribers have the answer (or maybe it is just a secret algorithm).

Great win. Very happy with the adjustment. Felt a lot more balanced and complimentary. Need to keep it up!

Tribble was the best defender man. So underrated

We have a great team but only 12 posts during the game. Not much excitement on this board.

Barre out for at least a couple of weeks.

good win!!

Yes, I am under the impression there has to be something more.

Definitely minor compared to Michigan, but IF he cheated on his wife with a student, I think that’s a big deal (though I realize there are disputing facts on this). If that didn’t happen (as well as nothing else not yet reported), agree the case OU has is VERY weak. I don’t know why they’d want to go out of their way to get rid of him though. Sustained OU’s success and beat WVU.

Are we better defensively tonight than last Saturday or is Western Michigan that much worse and cannot hit a long ball. I go with the latter.

Young Mahaffey and Scott being pulled out of the starting line up is very surprising to me. Thought both played well OOC. Maybe would’ve made more sense if Barre was put in the starting lineup, which would at least change the play style up a little bit.

Goes to show you what a defender Greg Tribble was!

I like the energy and effort Halligan has brought tonight.

Tavari Johnson can dunk? 😳

Guarding the three point line

I think EMU may have the college basketball all name team.

Lyles, Young, Evan Mahaffey, Tavari and Zach Halligan? Good for him. 🙂

Odd starting last lineup
