Gross start

Yes. April Fools. Early

New line up tonight.

Yes. Such a weird year. So many usuals not here

I've seen him on the bench

FYI: If Buffalo beats Kent and NIU beats Ohio then Zips would play Ohio in first round.

I think the Buffalo game was without Trimble (covid) but that game was January 1st. Certainly, does seem like the Zips have a fresh new team on the floor. I'm partially relieved that this last game isn't against Ravenna and isn't for the regular season championship. I

@clarkwgriswold@LoyalZIP This is exactly how I feel heading into the tournament every year.

That's a throwback joke for Clark from the KD days.

Free tickets at the Verizon store in Macedonia!!

I may have to work as well. Could just be Saturday night for me. ... god willing.

Clark will start the official tourney thread, but this is general discussion as the excitement builds for Sophomore Night at the JAR. Looks like the Zips will face Canada in the afternoon game a week from today. Zips never seem to play Toledo but always run into Buffalo. Last 3 or 4x it hasn't ended well. PCCC is on a long win streak, but those streaks can make a team tight as they start playing not to lose. Kittens look tired and the opposite of the fresh and rested OU team that blew through the bracket last year. But they can make a lot of 3s and they will be confident coming back to Cleveland. Of the likely bottom 3 of Miami, Ball State, and CMU, I think Miami is the team most likely to pull off an upset.

IDK nothing about nothing, but I got the feeling that when the tide started to turn in the 3rd quarter and the turnovers were adding up fast, Coach Jackson called it a night.

That was really awful. however, once Toledo pulled away from NIU, the Zips were guaranteed the 3rd seed because of they have the tiebreaker with Ball State. When I left, she had Neitzel and some of the back ups in. I think the Zips can win maybe one game in Cleveland but Buffalo and Toledo are the class of the MAC

This game turned ugly fast. Zips 12 turnovers killing them. Molly Neitzel had negative minutes. Jackson seems to have her back ups in more this game.

I like to watch Buffalo's coach. She's intimidating

She's the one in full make up and eyelashes. She is smooth out there.

This Buffalo team is tough.

Kittens Attack is a sad place today. Not only are they convinced they won't get a bid to the CBI they also have threads entitled: "One of the Most Embarrassing Losses in School History" and "We Shouldn't Give Up Now." Also, they have a poll "How many games will the Bobcats win in Cleveland?" ( think they have 4 choices). (and to give credit, they shoot a lot of 3s, and if they get hot they could win)

A senior night without seniors. How weird is that?

He whined that the BG guy pushed him. I was watching the game and when they showed a different angle you could see Carter not only traveled but hooked the BG out of the way while going to the basket.

Yes, they are so despondent it isn't even fun. A CBI reference would be a funny joke on Ball State Over the Pylon, but on Kittens Attack, they are deadly serious.

I made 3 points in that post

Nope, and it looks like the final 8 teams are set unless BG can beat Toledo @ Toledo when Toledo is playing for the #1 seed and the regular season championship. Toledo reminds me of the Zips 2020 team.

Uhh. well, maybe Zips would still have Trimble? Can't look backwards. I believe OU won last year because they were fresh, having only played a handful of games from end of February into March.
