In the post-game, Groce gave Tavari compliments on his offense, but it was obvious he is still not thrilled with his defense. That is what is keeping him from playing a larger role. Defense is not optional at Akron.

Rique gets the ball out of the double team fine but often it gets to a non-shooter for the open look (like Tribble) and by the time he puts the ball on the floor the defense is back in position. He's improved his shooting but really need him to let it rip a bit more in those situations

The Zips head to Toledo Tuesday hoping to hang on to sole possession of first place in the MAC. Since playing the Zips, the Rockets have beaten Eastern and OU while losing in double OT to App State in the MAC/Sun Belt Challenge. 6’4’ junior guard Ra’Heim Moss leads the Rockets at 16.4 ppg while also contributing 5.7 rpg. 6’2” junior guard Tyler Cochran is the Rockets’ leading rebounder at 6.8 rpg while contributing 13.5 ppg. 6’2” junior guard Dante Maddox is averaging 15.9 ppg. Hopefully, the Buffalo game wakes the Zips up. Toledo at home, with their 4 guard offense, could be quite a challenge for the Zips.

Huge win. Zips came out ready to play and held onto the big lead. First win over a winning-record MAC team in 2 years.

Agreed. This team also misses open looks, a lot of them.

Men and women. UA > UB.

Back up to 75%

As an aside, the Progressive "Becoming your parents" commercials are the best.

Impressive first half! Incredible effort up 35-14 at half!

They are last in MAC field goal percentage at .415 so I'd say all of their shooting is not good!

Prather was on the postgame and came across very well, as we would hope for a Zip. From listening to him and Groce, he was the practice player of the week so they were looking to work him in, and that was ramped up when Dawson got in foul trouble. Groce was not happy, especially with the first half and readily admitted it would be a long night Tuesday if the Zips play that kind of 20 minutes. He praised Prather. He also commented in Tavari's offense positively but said he wasn't nearly as good on defense.

Kept it to 11 out of solidarity with the women’s team. Respect.

I think Sammy played pretty well today, he was active down low more than normal and took good shots for the most part. Not a crazy game for him, but a performance like that is just what we need

This team really misses Nate.

Prather got a lot of their minutes. I think that both played 5 minutes or less. Their lack of offensive is hurting the team. I think Tavari will also see more minutes.

Ill take the W.

They are going to have to buy out a CVS to buy enough deodorant for this one.

shades of 2016-17

I'm getting a little aggravated with one guy dribbling on the perimeter while 4 guys watch.

Sy Chatman getting on both box scores

Someone needs to tell Mr. Battle the half is only 15 minutes.

My concern level is -10% if that is mathematically possible.

On Saturday March 2nd, the zips soccer fans....that live in NE Ohio .....will get to see the Zips debut of 8 exciting new players....as the zips will play 2 games on March 2nd against an under 19 Canadian soccer club...and against an under 21 team from that same soccer club....

I am really excited.......to see how this exciting group of zips do in the spring campaign.....Go, Zips !!!

Make your damn FTs!!

Prather in. Groce is pi$$ed.

I am amazed on how many of buffalo's three points attempts are air balls.

I’ve never seen another basketball player get fouled on threes as much as Ali

Hard to believe Buffalo's fall in MAC basketball. Seems like just yesterday the Zips were facing guys like Justin Moss, CJ Massinburg, Jayvon Graves and many other top notch MAC players for the Bulls. How quickly things can go south (even for a team from the great white North). I always enjoyed the rivalry games so I hope they are on their way back.

Well folks, I’m a delusional homer. I don’t think any fans will want to watch this garbage Buffalo Wings team. Thinking the crowd may end up looking like EMU’s “white out” crowd. Zips by 30. Evan “The GOAT” Wilson with 5.

Nate had a soft cast on his hand at JMU.

Looking ahead on GoZips.com for the baseball schedule, I learn that there's a new school in Ohio...The Kittens aren't going to like this... Seriously, how can you make this mistake?

Tuesday is going to be really tough

Similar to the free throw percentage today.
