Amen. Even if you are a decent donor you get relegated to cheap seats...but they have a system they have to use which in a way is fair. The ticket offerings were limited on seat geek this year. but i noticed yesterday you can sort of sit wherever you want.

Groce is such a fan of Hankerson.

Brian Walsh makes one shot in 2012 where would Groce be today? That's every game.

Coach Groce has met expectations with the team he has. If he and this team can win two more, it wouldn't be a miracle but would certainly be surprising considering the talent they will be up against. Clarke and Tribble need to get to the line or make a few buckets.

Words you will never here the Brimfield Tech coach utter: "Obviously I thought we did a lot of good things tonight," Zips coach John Groce told reporters in Cleveland. "I thought it was a reflection of our preparation. These guys are just such a special group. We took two days off after Friday's game [against Kent State] and they came back and you could just look in their eyes and tell their care factor was high."

You just know that's how it's going to turn out.

What an awful afternoon of basketball.

A 20 win legend. When he left, the program was stagnant. Wasn't going to get better. Hopefully, this thread will down and move down the que and not be resurrected many more times.

Ha. Just said that to someone. Toledo hasn't been challenged in a while.

Taking page out of Zips play book from 2022.

Zips fans need to get here and give NIU a fan base.

Fun MAC tourney memory. Then ran into Groce in the finals. What a crowd

Like Groce praising Mike Huger.

Indeed. Time to get this show on the road. Zips are certainly the underdogs.

Buffalo had two chances to win and missed both times. Ugh.

buffalo hanging with toledo women ... for now. 42-40at half. Buffalo 61% from 3.

two players on mac first team! As for Toledo, all the accolades and the win streak...all will come crashing down around them.

You would also be sending Code Red packing...well, at least for the women's games.

and the losses have been close...but anyway... I'm certainly not looking past tomorrow night. but buffalo certainly owned the Zips in Cleveland for what seemed like a generation

don't forget 2009!

Agree that the Miami situation this year is an excellent reason to keep the top 8: rewarding a coach and team that hustles and having consequences for bad coaching and lazy players. I wouldn't mind if they brought them back but this year the excluded teams deserved it.

fixed it.

Forgot about that. So happy Marshall lost early in the Sun Belt.

Lamont Paris has his hands full with a 5* recruit at South Carolina who complained a month ago on social media that he didn't get the final shot: "Can you help me answer that question, Chris bro?" Jackson responded as someone chiming in about the game. "Why don't I have the ball in my hands when it's crunch time, bro? Ain't I supposed to be this 'oh my God it's GG Jackson!' I don't see myself as that but ain't I supposed to be quote-unquote 'that'? Just give me that motherf*****. S*** is crazy bro, for real." Down by just one point with less than ten seconds remaining, South Carolina went to senior transfer Hayden Brown on a backdoor cut which got him a good look at the rim. But Brown missed the go-ahead shot leading to an Arkansas rebound. And add this: The South Carolina men's basketball team lost their seventh straight home game of the season Tuesday night to Vanderbilt, but the biggest news to come out of the Gamecocks' latest setback was five-star freshman GG Jackson being largely checked out for the third consecutive contest. South Carolina's top scorer this season has played sparingly over the past week, contributing seven points in 28 total minutes in two games. Earlier this month, Jackson voiced his displeasure on social media with how he's being utilized. The Gamecocks signed Jackson before the season after his widely-publicized flip from UNC as one of the top players of the recruiting cycle. "I'm sure he's frustrated," South Carolina first-year coach Lamont Paris said. "I'm committed to and will always play the guys who give us the best chance to win."

I watched parts of their last two games. They barely got by Robert Morris at home and then last night they played like the Zips in the MAC tournament last year. As for the quality of the Horizon, it's hard to judge when the MAC has the directional Michigan schools. The bottom of that conference is certainly worse than the MAC but that's not saying much this season.
