But in this topsy turvy year Zips win in Brimfield but lose at The JAR. (Running out of PCCC branches)

Ready to put last night out of my mind. They look tired and worn out. And now a quick turn around for Streetsboro State this Friday. From here on out this is about seeding for the tournament. Need the bottom-feeders to keep losing. Tie breakers over NIU and Ball State. CMU game looms large.

@clarkwgriswold that's some excellent analysis. Thank you.

I was typing the exact comments. When they are missing all those defensive rebounds they are playing twice the defense. Sort of like in football when the offense keeps going 3 and out. Groce was trying to sub players in during the first half to keep some fresh legs, but it was disastrous. And correct @LoyalZIP the other coaches are watching the film. That bye week should have come a week earlier. These guys will need a top 4 seed with this lack of depth. As for Sayles, does Groce have his eye on a big man graduate transfer for next year??

20 point rebound advantage. Don't deserve this if they get over the hill.

That effing tall ref. Hate him

Zips look gassed. LCJ trying to carry the team

Call it a night folks. They haven't missed a FT. George Thomas is smiling... imagining his headline tomorrow

Toledo blew 17 point lead on PCCC. Anything can happen. BGSU is hot now.

Foul on Dawson was huge. Would be 5-6 point game. Zips hustle away from boards but Bulls get position.

Dawson misses 3. Then fouls on a 3. Had a chance to get it to 5. That was a lot of work for LCJs 3

Nope. And bad FT shooting team Buffalo making them all. All

Rebounds: 25-12 Bulls. Doubling all over LCJ

Big crowd. Big egg being laid. Teams starting to figure out the Zips. Wheels are coming off the wagon. Picking up fouls, missing everything, nothing working

This is bizarre.

Lots of subbing by Groce. Zips are cold but keeping it close. Refs whistle happy

Not missing much. Ugly start but 3 offensive fouls on Canada. Zips time out

Decent crowd so far. But not where it should be

My nerves are already frayed. The Streetsboro State fight song is constantly pounding in my head. All this game # confusion isn't helping. If they bring out the T Shirt cannon tonight...

What's next Fall? I can't look past tonight and the doom that could befall us.

Excitement is building.

10 QBs and no place kickers?

According to Groce, each game is "Game 2"

(One that doesn't say Gionino's on the back of it) I still await the return of the Plate Lady.

Don't the Zips have about 5 QBs now? Kato, Gibson, North Royalton guy, Jonkowsi, and this guy?
