I knew the Zips had been shooting the ball well but I did not know that we were 52% from the field and 40% from the three line. Tevari is having a breakout season averaging 18 points a game and Lyles is averaging 15 and Scott 13. The shooting has just been off the charts this year and if we can maintain those averages we will be tough to beat especially with our speed of play. We just need better defense and better rebounding. We do not have anybody averaging 6 rebounds per game. This team is built for speed and we lack both height and girth in rebounding. I think Barre may give us more under the boards and he also has a few blocks in limited play. I hope he stays healthy and starts clearing the boards for the Zips.

Or, hear me out, a gazillion dollar corrupt taxpayer funded institution in a lawless environment doesn't need to get more rich by stealing more from these athletes when they already steal from the student body. The NCAA should be enforcing a NFL-style approved agents list, but schools like Georgia are doing everything in their power to ensure the landscape remains tilted in their favor. Discovery and the legal case should bring all the facts to the table, and I'm not saying the player isnt at fault as well. Just not sure we need to be endorsing this type of institution v player case where the institution is literally trying to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars.

See I think the small time conferences have their championships tonight, and the conference tournaments earlier than the normal championship week. I think it gives legitimacy to our championships to the casual fan

I agree. They should have scheduled it for this coming Tuesday night or 11 PM on Friday night. What is your better idea?

guess he was too worried about playing for a retired nfl player like eddie george if he chose joe moe of BG????

How is it predatory? Was it his only contract offer? What is difficult to understand about the terms? Did he sign it at the age of 18 or older? It all seems pretty clear to me. I once signed a relocation offer that included me being required to repay the cost of the relocation if I left the company after during my first year of employment. This seems very similar.

I wish it was a contract negotiated under a collective bargaining agreement that left no ambiguity of the parties obligations.

Likely not

He can win a National championship at LSU. Ole Miss is never going to be good enough to win one. There is only 6-8 schools in the country that can win the championship in the current system.

I didn't look into the reason behind it because I'm lazy but I see that the Georgetown vs NC State match was moved to tomorrow afternoon. I assume weather related?

There should be a financial penalty for backing out of a contract that one signed just a few weeks prior. Otherwise it only benefits the player, not the school he signed it with as he would be free to leave anytime, but the school is committed for the length of the contract. If the situation was reversed and Georgia rescinded his scholarship and ripped up his NIL deal after he signed we would be ripping Georgia apart saying they owe him every last penny. Perhaps the buyout on the players part shouldn't be 100% of remaining value, but I wouldn't be opposed to 25% or 50%. Something needs to prevent players from signing with a team, but then continuing to shop for a better deal. If the concern is about predatory contracts perhaps certified agents should be negotiating these deals instead of these random 'agents' off the streets or family friends.

Him not playing at all for the Timberwolves while losing multiple development games in the G League is odd. I liked him better in Indiana.

It is a complete mystery whether this is good or bad for Freeman. He is a starter for the Iowa Wolves and will get to play instead of just sitting the bench in Minnesota.

Zips are favored by 7.5 points according to ESPN

I agree with the second part, but did you read the article? The contract was predatory and the player never should've been directed to sign it. "The deal states that if Wilson withdrew from the Georgia team or entered the transfer portal, he would owe the collective a lump-sum payment equal to the rest of the money he'd have received had he stayed for the length of the contract." I hope there's common sense applied in this ruling. Make the kid pay back what he was paid, but don't rob him. Screw Georgia for going after the full amount.

Nothing good is coming out of Minnesota right now and their handling of Freeman thus far might be the worst news of it all.

Since I grew up in Stow, I obviously love the Zemanski jersey behind Coach Embick in this video. and I always love to hear @fknbuflobo tell the story about how Caleb Porter's first action as Akron U. head coach was to travel to Stow, Ohio. Ben Zemanski had committed to play soccer for Akron when Lolla was the coach. Caleb went to sit down with Ben Zemanski and Dan Zemanski to convince them that Akron was still the best choice for Ben's college career. Ben Zemanski was a great midfielder and he was a building block on those excellent teams from 2006-2009.

247 reported offers from BUGS, Buffalo, Charlotte, Indiana, KSUcks, Kentucky, Maryland, Miami (FL), Michigan State, Missouri, Pitt, Purdue, Sacramento State, Toledo, UAB, UCF, West Virginia, and YSU.

Is thar even the MAC's call?

I honestly prefer it. One can attend the game without having to take the day off work. Besides the Big 10 Championship, which is what the MAC locals would care about, doesn't start until 8PM. There is plenty of time between them that someone could watch both. The MAC does a lot wrong, but having both the football and basketball championship games on Saturdays is the one thing they get right IMO.

More stupidity by the MAC. Watching the SBC and AAC Championships tonight, they have a pretty captive audience. What does the MAC do!? Schedule our Championship right against all the Power Conferences. Geniuses. This s#%it shouldn't be that hard.

I hope UGA gets it. NIL can't only be a one way deal in favor of the athlete.

If it makes anyone feel better, three of Kent’s five all-conference selections have already announced they’re heading to the portal.

Congratulations to Zips Alum / 2025 USL Championship champion Beto Ydrach on returning with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in 2026.
