A friend got me a ticket through the university, not sure how much it will be. I thought the prices were outrageously high.

And for some masochistic holiday reason you have the need to re-visit, yet again, the worst moment in Zips basketball. history. Just sayin'...

I can breakdown the Zips for you: According to the Bradley Braves message board the Zips are: "Freeman and four other guys." So I guess now the Zips are "Freeman, Ali, and three other guys."

Gardner Webb is NOT a bad team. Detroit Mercy or Buffalo are bad teams this season. GW was physical and tough.

I guess we get one of these every year. Never in doubt.

And how are they going to enforce these tickets? They aren't law enforcement. I have a lot pass, but I'm still offended by this. Years ago when I lived in Chicago I received a ticket for parking in a "non-metered spot." We could contest by mail. I sent pics of where I parked and showed them it was perfectly legal and then added thus in un-American, ticketing me for being smart.

has to be the worse loss or close to the worse loss at home for Toledo in the Todd era.

BG is legit! or at least someone said they were.

Would be a cold day in ____________ before I went to that game. Now all those erstwhile Zips fans who worshiped KD will have something to do on a Monday night...and FREE!

I'm worried. hope they don't treat this like the YSU scrimmage

Had Groce found a way to keep Jermaine Marshall we probably wouldn't have this thread.🙄

Far be it for me to be cynical, but Groce and Guthrie can claim this is all about Ali's mental health and maybe another type of issue but they are going to the mat for Ali because he can help them win the MAC. And according to the article, the coaches and the universities asked for the current rule because (I assume) some big time programs wanted some big time players on the court immediately. Thus they created "does the kid have a "big time" mental health issue exception and on and on. Over the years the old system worked for Akron. LCJ sat out a year. The latest transfer ruled helped Castaneda. X Williams and Malcolm were grad transfers?

My issue is with the framing of this thread. It's fatalistic. Do or die. If not now, never. As long as the Zips have Groce or another quality coach (not a Jim Whitesel), the Zips will continue to contend.

the one year "sit out" for an early transfer and immediate play for graduate transfer seemed to work well and appeared to be fair to all parties. Once you start making exceptions and consider things which are malleable like mental health (is he depressed because his GF dumped him or because his parent died) or crime victim status (was his Ipad stolen or was he attacked and robbed), it gets messy and arbitrary. And we would be singing a different tune on Zipsnation if it were Sincere Carry who transferred away and then came back to Kent and wanted an exception made for him. I think Pat Forsythe was allowed to play immediately (a lot of good it did the Zips) because his father died.

No.

Ali's pass was the difference. And the Freman pick up

Let's hope Miami Hamilton doesn't want it more

All the makings of a trap game.

well, i thought they lost, per ESPN. Akron Zips 5-3, 1-1 AWAY 75 Final Northern Kentucky Norse 5-4, 4-0 HOME 76

Probably for the best. Would have given Norse time to set up a play a play

Groce's couldn't recruit Chicago, and he can't recruit Brecksville.

who is going to run the pick and roll?

I don't know these guys personally nor know what motivates them. But my impression over the years with Dawson is that he is ok being the 6th man, bringing excitement on to the floor. IDK...like the star's best friend in a sit com. They come in a few minutes into the show, get the laughs, and get the Emmy. Whatever the case, it's a stressor or a weight lifted off the shoulders of the coaching staff.

Greg starts. Period

yes, that YSU scrimmage will haunt Groce for the rest of this season and maybe into the next if he's not on to his "next endeavor."
