Yes!! Watched the end of the BG game. BG has the star Ashland coach, no? Zip women didn't choke. May need to take in a game.

BGSU and NIU stuck with their coaches when they were rebuilding. And looks like they are getting somewhere. The cupboard was bare for the Zips. Guess we move into wait and see mode.

Done rationalizing. Hell..we could be PCCC. Wow...how MAC basketball has flipped in a few years

This is going in the wrong direction fast. NIU 54% from field.

Gueye would be smart to quickly plead "no contest" so double jeopardy attached to the incident. However, sounds like decision made with police, prosecutor, and victim that this will be kept misdemeanor. A felonious assault will send him further away than South Carolina...more like Senegal.

Yes, I was provoking. Anyway, maybe it's the weather, maybe it's that bizarre NIU court, maybe it's the Gueye story, maybe it's NIUs 2-0 record, but for whatever reason Im not feeling good about this one.

After looking at the three scores from today so far, there's something to be said for the Zips always keeping it close.

Couple of interesting halftime scores in Muncie and Buffalo

Hopefully, they can work something out so he can stay in school and on the team. Mark probably has 8 more weeks with the Zips.

Mark or maybe the University probably didn't want him to face automatic deportation and asked that he not be charged with a felony. (that is total speculation on my part). However, considering Mark is the victim, he likely he had a say in the charges. What a sad situation. Regarding the drive to the hospital, there is probably more to that aspect than is written in that article. The police report also may have mischaracterized what happened. Maybe someone else drove him.

Ohio? "Saul Ball". Akron #8 in history and tradition?

I'm still reeling from the CMU loss. Was looking forward to having that 2-0 cushion prior to landing in deKalb.

Wonder what happened to that guy who with the longish hair who would run up and down the sidelines trying to rally the team. Few days before they fired Bowden I saw that guy at the mall and thought he must know he's out of a job soon

Excellent points. They play so much better when they don't chuck up 3s. That first game against YSU...when they got behind they caught up with 2 pointers and not with 3s. Also, when they have an 8 or 9 point lead they always try for the "dagger" 3 and miss it usually leading to a 6 point turnaround. Jackson is usually the culprit. I'm sure the staff sees this.

They will be 29-1 or something like that going into the NCAA tournament. If losing to Kent in the final game will put the Zips on the opposite side of the bracket then I say put KLac, Smith, Walters, and Eman in for the 2nd half

i'm sure the coaching staff knows this: but the team plays so much better when they aren't chucking 3s.

well on the bright side...all our losses have all been by less than 5 or 6 . meanwhile some other MAC teams are taking some embarrassing poundings. Can't even imagine how things are going to shake out in DeKalb.

that's that. back to the drawing board. maybe a good thing there is no chance for anyone but Buffalo to win this conference. losing to lame CMU and giving up 86 points. Whatever. Learn how to close out an effing game.

Toledo had a cupcake pre-MAC but the only hope is to be on the other side of Buffalos bracket in Cleveland and hope for something crazy to happen.

Around the MAC, Miami looking to lose first two home games. Toledo..eh..overrated. UB is going to sweep the MAC go into NCAA with one loss. Of course WMU making a run on Pinky and the Flashes. Saul Ball isn't long for Athens.

CMU used that run and shoot/no defense routine when they had those two shooting guards who racked up 30-40 points per game. I guess they are still doing it. Very curious to see how that matches up against Groce's plans

Gueye hasn't been in the bench in weeks. Disappeared like Hester

https://getsomemaction.com/stats.aspx?path=mbball&year=2018 Akron has the best scoring defense and CMU has the highest scoring offense. CMU also has the worst defense. Which will win out.

I think BG had lost 20+ straight at Ravenna.

Make that 21!
