I don't recall a more brutal closing 4 games, especially with two coming from the old MAC West. Toledo has that long win streak...which will end at the worst moment for them. From Rocket message board: Say what?? Zips lucky to escape the quarters last year. 1. "I'm looking for any advantage we can get in Cleveland as Toledo has struggled the past 2 seasons in the Quarter Finals against both Ball St (overtime win) and CMU (2pt win). We had to play our Starters full minutes in those 2 games, and then had to face well rested Ohio U and Akron who easily won their Quarter Final games and were well rested going into the Semi Finals. I'll take a 10-20 point win in the Quarter Finals rather than a 5 point win where we are tested any day of the week!" 2. And the ultimate kiss of death: A thread about win streaks: Post: #1 Combined streaks Men and Women have gone streaking. Ladys 8 in a row, men 11. That's 4 weeks in a row neither have lost... Record? Also, quite the year for the new A.D. Could we take both titles for basketball along with fb? Has that ever happened?

14 point lead with 6 minutes left. 20 point lead earlier. NIU, with lead, took some quick misses. 9 with 3.30 left. Mirambeaux hits a Big Dog 3 to tie the game. NIU totally choked but the refs help Travis calling NIU for a very weak charge when Miami player flopped. NIU had the ball under own basket with 16 seconds. took an early 3 missed, got rebound, and missed again. Oy.

I think Jackson was told before the season (and was mentioned on here) that she was on borrowed time. So, in true anonymous message board fashion, I'm going to speculate and say that GoZips10 believes that the piling up bad losses will justify a decision made a long time ago.

From the Bulls Board: 2 hours ago, Tee4three said: UB needs to avoid Akron at all costs in Cleveland Think UB could beat anyone else with their best game, Akron I'm not sure Was just thinking the same thing. For some reason we play Kent tight but Akron just seems to thrive against us

Groce's interview after game...again spoke about "coachability." Carry is not coachable. From what I hear on the board and elsewhere is that Mr. Pinky doesn't say boo to Carry during the game. Would love to see Bobby Knight (even though I was never a fan) slide Insincere across the floor after one of his dances.

Makes for a pleasant evening

Yucky ending to half Should be up by 20.

Tavari out after dribbling around and missing 2 shots.

Whistle happy refs

Lack of students. But, right, sparse, but mighty. Not sure why one can come to the Kent game and be so into it with Zips gear then not interested after that. Love the new announcer until...geez

watched that. off game like Kent had at NIU. Coleman was fancy dribbling at top of key and got picked. Coach Lewis benched him for a while. Pearson took an ill-advised jump shot...benched. Zips needed some help and got it.

what in the world are you talking about?

lots of resume updating tonight I'm sure.

must be spectrum. thanks. working now.

FYI: espn+/3 isn't working for any of the mac games so far today

don't forget to vote each day for Freeman. like we did with Zippy all those years ago.

a friend, who is pretty much a casual fan, who was at the EMU game at the JAR even said to me..."the other team just gave up." Maybe Heath has a big pay out in his contract? Can't imagine his coaching again after this stint.

This is all about Emoni Bates. He must have some agents making calls. But...geez...diminishing returns. Ohio and CMU would have been better. Happy to be on espn3 Saturday night at 7

EMU making a game of it for the moment. that lasted about 30 seconds. put a fork in Heath and Bates. They're done.

Eastern Michigan embarrassing itself once again on national television. 6 possession. 4 turnovers. 15-2 and there's Carry dancing down the floor. The commentators attempting to talk about anything, watching the most pathetic team in the country.

was a lot of fun when the Rowdies were on the floor near the Buffalo bench and chanted crazy stuff at Reggie Witherspoon and of course "Bobby's Going to Cry" Speaking of crying, they needed the poster of the crying PCCC cheerleader a few weeks ago.

I wish this entire thread would disappear. Correct, I don't have to read it, but if you are desperate to know something about the former coach I suggest google.

God love ya.

Does anyone here actually stick around if the unthinkable happens?

yes. as for Buffalo game, hoping that fun and easy win in Ypsilanti, owning Bates, and having an extra day before a night game with Buffalo will rejuvenate the Zips as they move into the final stretch.
