yep. just like last year's game at the JAR

and they win. this season will come down to PCCC and Toledo.

like last year. they got red hot against the Zips and then would implode against other teams. Book this to the Rockets.

And score more points than they do.

Anxiety is building

when was last time Zips won at Savage Arena? 1983?

I'm seeing +7.5. Harsh.

In Groce, I trust. What else is important for Groce is being in the right state mentally. “Every game is different. I know this and I’ve tried to tell the guys this,” he said. “What’s happened previously in the last 10 conference games for us … will have absolutely nothing to do with Tuesday night. It’s who plays the best on Tuesday night. Who makes the most plays on Tuesday night.” More importantly, what happened in that first game against the Rockets just doesn’t matter. “The fact that we’ve played them before has nothing to do with Tuesday night. We’re not going to fall for that,” he said. “We’ve got to be ready to play and play as well as we can play, execute as well as we can execute on Tuesday night. Play for each other. Play with the right force and the right spirit. That’s what we can control.”

If that. Roads are clear. Not sure if they left today and are staying the night

But for COVID and the social distancing on the bench and the players having the ability to stand up and get into the games, we wouldn't be seeing all this camaraderie. Maybe psychologically it's not as bad to be taken out of the game when you have the other players to standing around and supporting you and talking to you as opposed to taking a seat at the end of the "bench."

That's right. You live nearbouts the Shalersville Region.

why "ugh" to all those? isnt that a good thing? or you prefer espn2, etc?

BG and CMU suck.

Odd obsession with OU in this board.

Big whoop.

Depth.

Yes, they are from what I heard.

I will take Enrique Freeman for the block and John Groce for the win. Did that Taylor Persons person finally graduate?

losses to two one-win teams will do that.

kittens blowing a lead.

Wins tomorrow and Tuesday should fix that

FWIW. Canada v. Kittens tonight on ESPNU.

Ball State is another program I really dislike. This began in the 2017 season. Was that the year when there was a crazy ending at the JAR in which Ball State threw it the length of the floor and it went out of bounds, so Akron got it back under their basket. Big Dog made the 3 pointer. But they re-set the clock and Ball State got a final shot and Whitford stormed the floor acting like an idiot twirling his finger around trying to signal goal-tending? then they were jerks during the semi-final game at the Q. Then that game in Muncie when Ivey scored 40+ points and the refs totally hosed the Zips.

Groce is best coach ever in the MAC. Period.

Groce is the best. Knew it from Day 1. Loved when he got himself ejected from the game in Canada.
