Illini Zip

I can’t think of anyone else worthy of a jersey ceremony, but there are 2 Zips teams that I remember fondly for different reasons and that history won’t be kind to. That very first Groce team was like the land of misfit toys. This forum struggled dealing with losing to teams you hadn’t in quite some time. But the likes of Ivey, Utomi, Duvivier, Sayles, Olojakpoke and Lucas Smith played with a ton of heart. The rebuild had to start somewhere and kudos to those guys for sticking around and giving max effort. And then the Covid team. We will never know for sure, but that could have been the team destined to win a NCAAT game. It was a complete team before the NIL/portal era really took hold. The fact that their resume is forever incomplete is such an injustice.

I’m just glad I’m not the first person to make that mistake.

Come on, how can you not love a guy who dives on the floor for the opening tip? I believe it was our home game against Can’t State.

Is there a backstory for “Win for Akron”?

Tahj had 28 points in 26 minutes. 4 for 8 from the arch. Pretty efficient night for him.

Is YSU comparable to any MAC team? And are they a good barometer for our current abilities?

That’s a new development.

Isn’t Perkins around 6’?

Does the offense and defense schemes look similar or different?

I would think Evan is the natural leader on the court. Anybody else? How does Ford look in his new role?

Nope. Our ZN play by play guys are reporting live from the JAR.

Keep it coming guys. There is not a radio program tonight.

There are so many new parts and wrinkles it’s hard to pick just one thing that intrigues me most about this new season. But with Barre being hurt so much of last season I am curious what his level of involvement will be this year.

parking Nazi 🤣🤣🤣

So this exhibition game is not on ESPN+ ???
