I have my towel. Let's go!!

Happy Thanksgiving Zips Nation!!

When was the last time Enrique had only 3 rebounds? Ever?

What do you say we don’t pee on the electric fence today. End the trip with a win. Go Zips!!

I’m listening to the game. So we are getting some good looks and just not hitting them?

I agree. We got their best effort yesterday. And I can’t imagine that style holds up well with 3 games in 3 days unless they have tons of depth.

That would be Awesome!!

Maybe I missed this along the way. But this MAC-SBC Challenge is something new. Is it possible that if we lead the MAC come February we might get a shot at the current AP #22 James Madison University?

Good points. To answer my own question, Groce said he has the luxury of having 8 starters with 3 coming off the bench. On any given night each of these guys could get hot and help carry the team. Ali would make that 9 starters, better odds. Could you see Ali playing starters minutes, but coming in with the second wave off the bench?

There is nothing we can do about it, but I have to wonder how Ali’s presence would have affected these games.

This. Sorry, out of likes.

Who is this Enrique Threeman guy? Ha!! Go Zips!!

I believe the dust has settled for this period. The only question I have at the moment is when will Ali Ali get the green light to play. But I'm assuming it will be this year sometime. I'm staying with Mikal Dawson as a Junior with another year of eligibility. Marvin Musiime-Kamali and Darrian Baker are red-shirting this year. And the Zips added Rich Brisco, Eric Mahaffey and Sharron Young for the 2024-5 season leaving 2 scholarships open.

That could be disciplinary, academic performance or health related, right? Any thoughts as to why?

No mention of Prather during post-game. That’s my only negative for the game. A missed opportunity for him to get some playing time.

WHLO 640 does have the football game.

Is there even a radio broadcast for this game?

I might have to suck on a white towel while watching that UNLV game.

The final score is misleading. That is a good team we just beat. Go Zips!!

Not very pretty, but we're hanging around.

I’m hoping.

when asked to give name, athletic year, home town and major, Dawson answered Junior. Probably a senior or more academically.

Dawson is a Junior. Nice!!

GoZips.com has Dawson listed as a Senior. Do we know for sure that this is his last year considering his injury?
