I am an actual victim of the T-shirt cannon. I took one right to the face. And since I sit in the lower bowl, it was like a line drive. Fortunately, I didn't have eyeglasses on at that moment.

Those last 3 home games (to me as a fan) felt like MAC tourney games with all the anxiety, tension, directional schools, and last second three-pointers. Guys can use a rest I think.

Hard to win at NIU because there's no crowd. Hard to win at OU because crowd is too big. But Akrons crowd is in the middle and teams can't win at the JAR.

A must win before heading to Toledo. Week off hurt or help? Maybe good thing before two game road trip? Or will the Zips be rusty? IDK. I think some rest helps a defensive-minded team as opposed to a hot shooting team that just needs to keep rolling. Akron #1 in defense. Last in offense. Ohio #11 in offense and #8 (behind Akron by 10 points) in defense. A definite on paper advantage.

Good quote from LCJ at the end..."Why us?"referring to the opponents late 3s two games in a row. The fans were thinking the same thing..."why us?"

Come February and tourney time, LCJ hopefully will stop shooting early in the shot clock while the Zips are nursing a lead. *A complete sweep at home of the directional schools

Watching replay, Jackie Windon made good point that a couple of these passes to Deng were poor and too low. One bounced off Dengs shin and one bounce pass was at below the knee as well.

Best MAC team they have played. NIU is good.

Never a doubt!

LCJ...drive me crazy

Riak single handedly losing this game for Zips

Good time out. Fear Zips are tightening up. LCJ 3 attempt would have us up 14. Instead only up 7

Don't jinx it. Riak...SMH

Good. I hate wings.

Noah McCarty=Stainbrook

Zips back early at half...shooting around...good idea.

Did anyone in the gym not know that NIU would run it right to the basket on that last play? Geez

NIU clearly the better more talented team

Another auspicious offensive performance. Outscored 18-3. 21% Hmm. Long month ahead.

Ugh. Need a slower game. NIU feeling it

After watching the end of the Ball State/Ohio game, I wonder if Persons bolts from Muncie after this season

Reggie and Jake were great assets to the team, but they went into slumps as well (Jake especially). The key is to slump at the right time.

Reggie and Jake didn't carry us too far. After PCCC@Ravenna's loss tonight, tomorrow is a must win. 4 point favorites.

And in the Tommy Evans lounge you can only get popcorn at halftime and in the size of a Dixie cup. (I exaggerate but not by much)

The Zips certainly offer something different than these two teams.
