Watched him Ivy Tournament. Cornell to Akron. Culture shock

But...you know..."Thornton and Scott" and "no serviceable big." 😉

@Let'sGoZips94. Yes, and he's made that point ad nauseam.

thornton and scott took playing time away from Tavari. That's all that matters to him.

Always so incredibly negative. Seriously, what is your deal

you may want to email Coach Groce and ask him why the Zips aren't more developed.

Not one Zip is out of shape. under 15% body fat. And I don't think Campbell has been working with the basketball team for last few years.

Likely most of the continuing donors don't wait until the day of giving to "give." they give throughout the year or maybe in a big chunk at end of year.

I don't want guys from directional schools or Power 5 schools 🙄

Yeah, those horrible transfers who helped win a MAC tournament.

No call. I'm taken for granted.

Verbal Commits says Julius Rollins is in the Portal. May be best for him to get a fresh start. He made a huge mistake and has certainly paid the price for it. I heard he received death threats and lots of hateful attacks. Best of luck to him, but he will always be a footnote in Zips basketball history. Helped Groce remain undefeated in MAC championships.

I think ZipsNation can do better than this type of comment.

Seemed implausible that no Zip would enter the portal. Dawson was on the floor in the last few seconds of the MAC Championship game. He's had two tournament titles and trips to NCAA. Will miss him and hope, like everyone does, that he will end up in a good spot.

OT but Ball State's former center Payton Sparks is back in the transfer portal, leaving the Hoosiers.

KReed is 100% correct. Someone on the Creighton board wrote simply that the Zips are inconsistent and prone to scoring droughts. Those droughts occurred in all 3 MAC tournament games. I think the 2022 Zips were a better team at this point in the season compared to the 2024 team. Creighton will be tough sledding for these guys. I cleared my calendar for the MAC tournament but not for Thursday. When the Zips make it to Saturday, I will be there.

I see both sides of it. Toledo lost their last 7 first round games in the NIT. The MAC was weak this season AND Toledo easily lost in first round to #8 seed. They offered nothing to the NIT. Edit: Akron would offer a bit more at 108 in NET and a star player with Freeman, but that wasn't going to be enough.

Riak as Center.

John Groce 4-0 in MAC Tournament Finals. Last 4 years: 2020 MAC regular season champ, 2021 MAC Semi Finals (covid year), 2022 MAC tournament champion, 2023 MAC Semi Finals, 2024 MAC tournament champion. He is an amazing coach who knows whom he trusts in crunch time.

There's a priority point system. The $ and frequency of donations, years of season tickets, future gifts, etc are all considered. Also, I think players' families move to top of list. This is how it's done at every school. If you want control over your destiny, by from SeatGeek.

First suggestion: do some research. If you were familiar with the Zips on basic level you would know Garvin was a guard, who played pretty well during the 2022 championship run.

VCU could be knocked out today, opening up a 13. Not sure where the Dukes would fall into place. UC Davis replaced by LCJ's first school Long Beach State. Fairfield is also out.

Bring an autograph book and a sharpie. And the guys sure don't mind taking pics with the fans.

Zips men and Flashes women to the NCAA. Maybe KD will win today and there will be something for everyone.
