  1. Knowing how the game ends still didn’t prevent me from stressing for the whole 13 minutes of highlights. But the payoff is so worth it again, thank you!! Our guys had a ton of grit that night. Also, I’m not going to miss Ipsaro this year. Just saying.
  2. The radio. 😬
  3. Does Micah Young (Tai Perkins brother) look to be a D1 or D2 talent? He’s having a good game.
  4. How does our defensive effort look to those in attendance tonight?
  5. I would stick with the new rotation. At least for now. I don’t trust that the new defensive effort is here to stay just yet.
  6. Miami loses a starter for the season, but is now up to 6 votes on the AP Poll. I just don’t get it.
  7. I realize we are well into the season so a single game isn’t going to move the Kenpom needle drastically, but we scored right around our average and did much better on defense yet our ORtg ticked up a couple spots and our DRtg didn’t move at all. 🧐 🤔 😔
  8. I was listening to the game while driving which can be distracting enough. Reading and responding to Zips Nation wasn’t prudent. But I don’t know what everyone else’s excuse is, shame!! Ha!! Great effort and response to the defensive challenge. Keep it going. Go Zips!!
  9. Barre out for at least a couple of weeks.
  10. You had me until American women.
  11. I will try…Halligan brings defensive understanding and effort. We have plenty of offense right now. We need to figure out how to stop teams. Or maybe Groce is sending the team a message???
  12. I didn’t see the live action, but it sounds like Barre is improving which would help with drives to the hoop. But the wide open perimeter, poor free throw shooting and rebounding (second chance points) are whole team issues. The good news is we still have time to figure it out. The bad news is we are now likely to get another lousy seed if we make the Tourney.
  13. Our offensive rating goes up, but our defensive rating goes way down. 🤦‍♂️
  14. Thank you!! I haven’t laughed that hard in such a long time.
  15. We’re on the receiving end of the Miami game (home) from last year.
  16. Joe Dunn says he and David could take the Murray State announcers. 🤣
  17. There have been more “And 1” fouls called in this game than the rest of this season combined.
  18. I believe Scott got locked up with one of their freshmen as time expired. Both hit the ground. And both charged with a technical foul, but no shots taken.
  19. Need a fast start. Hopefully that scuffle at the end of the half lights a fire into our guys in a good way.
  20. Barre is blocking shots.
  21. Sounds like the Yale game so far. Defense optional.
  22. And yet they received 2 votes in the AP rankings. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings
  23. It wasn’t a pretty game at times, but I would say our guys passed the test. Groce is sure challenging them with different styles of play this year.
  24. I haven’t seen Barre for some time.
  25. Thank goodness Tavari, Shammah and Amani packed their 3 point shots. It’s been the difference maker in my opinion.
