Zip JD

The lack of boxing out is concerning especially for Hunter. He is the biggest perimeter player in college basketball. Zips loss aside, it was a great event with 3 great match ups. It seemed like the big arena really threw off the shooting for all the teams. The Bucks were at 13% from 3 at the half and I believe both them and WVU were well under 40% from the field at the half.

I should have mentioned that with the attempts to get him minutes at the point last year behind X, I really thought Tavari would be a factor. I wasn't expecting huge stats, but I thought he would be someone that could come in an make some open 3's when called upon. That ship appears to have sailed.

They play hard and appear to be giving their best effort, but neither provides any threat of offense. Other teams lay off of them and neither has shown they can regularly hit an outside shot consistently. We got spoiled watching X and LCJ these past years, but as of this post there is not PG on this team even close to being a regular offensive contributor.

So much better than Quick Change. Past halftime shows should get their own thread.

Touche. You have won this round Reslife but much like mediocre officiating at the JAR, I will be back.

I hope so. They were down last year as well. Also, no Taylor Made or Summa ball toss, no $10K putt at halftime, no Tim Miller sponsored 3 Pointers (that has been gone for a while), no Gionino's T shirt toss, no strong sponsorship presence at all.

I hope so. Faded, torn blue carpet is not the way to go. I know money is lacking especially in the era of NIL, but the JAR is a dump.

....and a big "W" in Cleveland in a few days to close out the Christmas season. Merry belated Christmas to all.

Huggins and Wyatt Webb are down as well (I'm talking about the 4 large banners that used to be in the corners of the JAR not the ones in the rafters). Also, all of the photos of Zips Athletics Hall of Fame by the exit are gone, all of them. Instead, they put up a TV that usually shows one photo of the football team and one of Enrique. It has a real "I'm only concerned with the future and what I build not the past" vibe to it.

I think so. He seldom gets mentioned and I think a lot of Zips fans do not realize how great he was or even that he was. Also, the way our AD is taking down banners of past coaches and all the Zips HOF photos in the JAR who knows how long any of those banners have.

The Cricket was the most underrated Zip of all time. He had the best handles I have ever seen in the JAR and when they played those great Cleveland State teams, he gave Mouse all he could handle. I'm glad you brought him up in this thread. He was the purest PG I ever saw in the blue and gold.

That may be true, but they still looked sweet.

Next man up in full effect. Nice win for Ohio. I hate OU but I love the black uniforms.

The tater tot has been fired after going 2-10 in year 3. We need Coach Joe to get a QB and avoid being added to the unemployment list.

He would probably be a serious upgrade over the usual suspects.

Terry Bowden is in the Portal. Out at ULM after 4-8, 4-8 and 2-10. I shall never type that name again.

Great to see the score board is in prime condition holding up the game to reset the clock. Only Akron.

Two great matchups for the Zips to start the season. With those two and then heading to a tourney, I have no problem going D3 in between. This Zips team is incredibly athletic and deep. When Ali gets back it only gets deeper. My only goal for the next game against the 'Berg is a couple Wilson 3's.

I’m out. I just can’t take this anymore. Catch you all for Zips hoops.

I’m sick again.

The Can’t kickers were missing wide left the entire warm up so that is our one point lead. Nice to see some else make their fans sick.

She's got better guns than some of our QB's and looks faster than some of the O-line.

I was going to post something similar to this but then I followed the example of our offense and didn't execute the play.

Sadly, we have a couple on the bench who want a shot at the title.
