Eric rebounded really aggressively. It's something I've noticed we don't do often. A lot of times we'll block out really well and then just kind of wait for the ball to come down while defenders are jumping over us. Eric just want up and grabbed the damn ball. Good to see

The new Ball Sac rivalry will be worth every penny

This is taking too long.

Congrats on giving Miami their first loss with that jinx.

The NCAA wouldn't waive the waiting period for them and allow them to be an independent. Mountain West said no thanks. Now they're trying with the MAC.

What a play by Marvin!

His free throw shooting has been solid.

Serb will be needed for his 5 fouls at this rate. This needs sent to the MAC for review. The refs should be suspended for how they've handled this game.

Shammah might be the best last second of the first half shooter that I have ever seen.

I'm surprised Dambrot wasn't here for the jersey retirement.

Doors just opened and the crowd was pretty built up outside before the doors open

“University Arena” hasn’t been too kind to us recently. We are 1-2 in our last 3 games up there

Injecting $15m into the conference is a nice consolation for being "devalued." Not sure how much more the MAC could've been devalued anyways; the MAC has been on a "joke" trajectory for a couple decades.

I’m not sure who would see this as a devaluation. I’d actually say there’s a good chance Sac State is using this as a stepping stone for the future. MAC schools have been losing their fair share of recruiting battles to Sac State for JUCO players over the past few years, for what it’s worth.

Can't wait to give Miami their first loss on March 14th

Looks like the Zips have a game in hand, but I'm not so sure I'd like to see UMass in the MAC tournament. Mostly to not get our guys beaten to a pulp.

Gotta be the latest I’ve ever been at the jar

Traveling?!!

UMASS 24 fouls at the under 8 timeout. That’s wild. Stay gritty Zips!

Eric is playing with an extra edge now for his brother

If Mahaffey gets ejected for putting his elbow up, then there should be an ejection for shoving Halligan to the floor.

Does the ejection take effect next game too?

Weakest ejection I’ve seen in my life.

There should be no technicals assessed. Play on.

Glad they wasted the entire halftime show talking about Miami. So tired of this "nobody would play them BS." Somehow Akron and Kent could schedule Purdue. Yet the best Miami could do is Mercyhurst and winless UNC Asheville? Give me a break.

Scott for THREE!

Really good reception for Huggins. Almost louder than the one for big dog

I will give CBS Sports credit, they always make it feel like a big time event.

Use spothero.com and you can find some deals in advance for parking. I was able to find $10 parking not too far away each day last year

Thanks. I don't do social media for a variety of reasons, so I had not seen this. This is about nothing more than the Sacramento media market for the sake of a larger TV contract. This is what college sports (and especially football) has become. It is sad and uninteresting. Why build a beautiful stadium if every decision is made in favor of tv viewership rather than creating a community atmosphere for alumni and friends of the university? It seems the two are mutual exclusive, as evidenced by Tuesday and Wendesday night games in November. Cue GP1 in 3, 2, ...

I'm so ready for the Ball State vs. Sac State rivalry to really heat up.

John Groce story time

How would you like to play for this coach who basically threw all of his players under the bus. I think everyone on this board knew that Nate was a great MAC player but few thought the would be a great player at the next level. The coach has to accept responsiblity for assembling a team that cannot compete at the level. Basically, the players are pros and mayber the colleges should have a gm who evaluates talent and brings in talent. Tang might be a great coach but not sure if he can evaluate talent. When K State lost to Bowling Green he had to know this was going to be a losing season.
