I feel like there isn’t going to be much of a “starting 5” I don’t think Scott or Dawson will start but they will most likely get starters minutes

Greg
Thornton
Ali
Sammy
Enrique

The height differential on here is crazy. The fact that Enrique is outrebounding Zach Edey by more than 1 per game is wild!

I was in the third row of the student section and in the front row some rowdies were making fun of his jump shot and acting shocked when he’d make a free throw. It’s not a huge deal, not like there were any chants or anything but I don’t appreciate seeing it.
Again the rowdies leadership has been lacking the last couple years, the fact that they don't know he is our best FT shooter just shows they don't know ball

I understand we were just coming off a 3 game losing streak, but I do think the crowd was less than it should have been The box score has it at 3100, that isn’t true. I think the free toy tickets might have been counted in that.
On the football page people always say “once the team wins, people will show up”. And yes that is a good point, that isn’t everything. This is one of the best Zips teams on paper in recent memory. They are playing Bradley, a highly regarded opponent nationally. The crowd wasn’t anything crazy, probably below-average to be honest. I only saw one tweet this morning mentioning cram the cruiser and bring a toy get a free ticket. The in game experience is lack luster, we haven’t had a DJ since covid. I always say it, but lack of promotions, while it may be silly, it does mean something to the experience. Willy Kollman isn’t the emcee anymore, he was always one of my favorite parts of games pre covid.
Yes basketball does a better job than football at basically everything. But we need to do more if we actually want to see big crowds for a great product

I never hear a negative comment from the student section about any Zips player.
It isn’t ever going to be audible. But yes students are going to complain when we are going through struggles. Hankerson always got people in the student section saying “stop shooting” or “This guy sucks” same with Sammy, Ali, Trimble, etc. They aren’t ever going to be chants against our own players, but I think some students who aren’t huge fans do make quick judgements.

Definitely a small crowd unfortunately. Bradley is not a sexy name despite there good records. Even I never heard of them til last year. Winter break will be tough for attendance im hoping the Columbus fans root for us on the 30th. Then we the rowdies can turn up momentum post MLK day when the semester starts (reminder we start later this year on the Tuesday after MLK day for the spring)
I do agree that the name Bradley doesn’t sound very crazy. The friend I brought to the game asked me “Are these guys D-1?” Before the game. And after the game said “Those guys were horrible”
-
Thornton is the most confusing player I’ve ever seen
-
Smart plays and good D on this run
-
Out rebounding them 30-21, but we have 12 TOS to their 6
-
Again Thornton not being aggressive
-
Solid first 4. Thornton passed up a wide open look from the top of the key. Gotta shoot those
-
Ali just stands there with the red shirts during warmups. That just has to be so frustrating

Seems like taking the Braves is easy money. We just don’t seem to be at the level we expect yet (granted Ali is a large part of that).
I don't know about that, Bradley is coming off 2 Ls in a row, and coming to Akron. Sounds pretty similar to our situation last week. I would at least take Zips ML

Every single game notes this year has had this crazy fact
“Akron has made at least one 3-pointer in its last 744 games when it was held without a 3-pointer against Purdue in the 2000-01 season.”

Student body still has 3 if i'm not mistaken, and those 2 courts weren't highly used when I was in school, can't imagine that got any better with about half the student population.
The other 3 still there are almost exclusively used for pickup basketball. The blue courts in my time where used for nearly all intramurals, and had a more diverse court schedule. When covid hit, they spaced out the workout equipment and put a lot of machines in the blue court area. When it was time to take them out, my guess is that not many people had even seen those courts in use which caused them to give away the space
I saw a school I'd never heard of on the ESPN ticker today...

Yesterday, NDSU played Oak Hills Christian College. In 2021 Oak Hills had an enrollment of 94 students. They have 6 sports, Mens soccer, M&W basketball, M&W Cross Country, and Women’s volleyball. The leading scorer for Oak Hills in this game is also on the soccer team. They shot 6-49 from the floor, 1-20 from deep, and only attempted 3 free throws (making 1)
