After the game I went to the scorers table where they were replaying the block in slow motion several times and there was no foul. Banks got 2 hands on the ball and just held onto the ball. That is why he hit the floor so hard because he did not use his hands to break his fall. It was a great defensive play!
If someone told me before the game that Xeyrius, Banks, and LCJ would have a combined 2 points at the half, I would have guessed the Zips would be down by 20 at the half, not 3.
If you are hoping for hopeful signs for this year ESPN shows the teams returning the most production. You can read the article to see what that means but they have the Zips as 14th in the country for returning production and first in the MAC. Of course it all depends on what your returning quality is of course.
