John Groce Named The Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award Recipient https://gozips.com/news/2025/4/3/mens-basketball-john-groce-earns-2025-hugh-durham-award

I hadn't been that excited since we were joining the ACC.

They can have it. It worked out well for OU this year!

And he did it without a viable back up big!!!! or in spite of it?

Well-deserved!

Outside of the challenging games we all want to see, I'd limit my weaker portion of the schedule to the lesser teams in a select few conferences: A10, MW, MVC, etc.

I would like to see the Zips play 2 neutral court games a year in large venues. Instead of home and home, it would be “home away from home” and “home away from home”. Our home away from home is Rocket Mortgage and I would like a OOC game to be played there annually so every one of our players has that experience before the MAC Tournament. Then we play a different team at their home away from home (Atlanta, Denver, New York, etc) so we experience yet another environment. The following year we flip the game locations. Next year I imagine we could start the season in Q2 (51-100) so we would target 2 teams from that range. That way there is not a NET advantage for any team. There is a lot of nice competition in this range. This is probably an expensive idea, but it’s my suggestion.

I still miss the sale the athletic department used to have in conjunction with the spring game. You could get some decent gear out of that sale. The grab bags were also a fun deal, especially if you wanted to add to your collection of Matthew Wilson bobbleheads!

oh we get another year of NIU. yay
