Hope there are no Utah Valley scouts in the stands tonight.

Nate Johnson is the one newcomer who’s improved as the season’s gone on.

Can you imagine if he and Sincerely Carry were on the same team? What coach could put up with that? 😉😉

Groce stated that If he took his medicine he thought he should be ready on Tuesday. But with sickness you never know for sure.

Heard the Johnsons on the post game show. Really represents Akron well. So impressed that Groce can find great student athletes. Tavari talked about how Groce wants him to play better defense to get more time. He had 2 steals tonight. Also admitted the bank shot was not planned. Nate talked about how much the red shirt helped him to prepare for this year. He also indicated that he is being more aggressive. I hope he continues to improve each game. We need that to advance in Cleveland.

Not me. Tired of seeing Sammy miss his first 5 shots to start the game. He had a great dunk and a couple of nice baskets after the lead reached 20. No way should he start.

Looking at the box score, we had 22 assists on 29 baskets. That's impressive.

I get the sense that the staff lets Lamar do whatever the hell he wants. I guess Lamar hoisting 3s is better than Emoni's sulking like a little B at the end of blowouts.

Shoot that open 3 Enrique!!

That concerns me. Zips don't need something to run through the team now.

Also out of Likes 😂 I really hope Dawson bounces back strong from his achilles injury. We'll see 🤞 I'm picking Kobe to transfer out, leaving us an opening, which I think we'll once again fill with a grad transfer shooting guard, as the three point shooting on this team could be questionable after the departure of X. I think Tavari is going to be an absolutely killer PG who will continue our tradition of having elite PG play. I love seeing Nate's confidence grow. He's doing a great job now of picking his spots. Another off season & I'll bet he's ready to let it fly.

In case you missed it and/or are curious, Coach Jackson said she is having a girl yesterday on the postgame radio interview. Nice addition to the two boys. 👶👦🧑

The latest latest...

This just in...

The 7th and 8th seeds are totally up for grabs. If EMU and Miami win out which is possible, they take 7 and 8 and Buffalo stays home. Central can sneak in even if they lose to Toledo on Tuesday.

Give me that 3 seed for the last game on Thursday!

And add Prather into the mix.

Groce didn't say in his interview after the game. Can't tell. If he's sick, have to wait and see. This really is a must win for the Zips if they want an easier path to Saturday night in Cleveland. Or will need to win at the MAC Center.

More lineup options.

I like the fact it gives us some options depending on the opponent.

I've always liked the idea of Tribble off of the bench. Unfortunately, I hate the idea of Sammy starting more than I like the idea of Tribble off of the bench.

Hard to tell against WMU

Who likes this starting line up and would prefer Tribble coming off the bench?

Kalamazoo's thinking Steve Hawkins was John Wooden at this point.

Time to start thinking about resting Enrique and X.

Zips sort of let up when they got that 20 point lead. Yuck

Giving up too many open 3s.

Seems like it. Not liking this officiating crew.

Eastern downs Ball State 75-68.

They specifically mentioned they hated Ali Ali. Maybe they were on to something? I kid. 😄

If I recall correctly, they referenced Ali and Tribble by their numbers, but that's my translation.

Coach Faust?

Okay, I'm a little sensitive to this, but in the last week GoZips.com has posted two pictures of our women athletes that to me are a little off color. A softball player and a track athlete, both with their hands positioned on either side of their, well, breasts, like their showing them off. I think the intent was to highlight the Zip logo on their jerseys but I haven't seen a male athlete posed that way yet. It's just a little weird!

The ABJ can't get a single AP action shot of the game against WMU?

Bingo. I think Dennis has locked it up, and deserves it.

Yep. It's rather dismal. Well filled up here last few minutes

The Elon series is on Flosports 🤢
