The tempo is making my head hurt lol

Miami OH makes it 1-0 for the men. It’s going to be a grind to get to 5 I think…

NIU makes it 3-0 for the women!

Lady zips knew what’s up!!!

Incredible turnaround in this one

👀👀👀

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a boring App State game. Miami up 1 at half. Toledo woke up

Miami is holing strong. Toledo off of a slow start

Hello Zips Fans! I am back again for my favorite time of year until March with OOC play. This will be a lot more brief due to the fact nobody has played yet and preseason projects are a bit random sometimes. A new era of zips basketball begins now! I will provide more in depth updates around the start of conference play! NET is from last year so i'm using Bart as a fill in Arkansas State Conference: Sun Belt BART: 107 Strong Opponents: Alabama, Little Rock, Indiana State, Memphis, UAB, MAC-SBC matchup II Should be a fun matchup in the MAC-SBC Arkansas State has very high expectations we will see if they meet them! Ohio Wesleyan Division: III Free Space Saint Mary's Conference: WCC BART: 39 Strong Opponents: Gonzaga x 2, Washington State x 2, San Francisco x 2, Nebraska, USC, Utah, Utah State People are mad we don't have a P4 team on the schedule. Saint Mary's is about as close as you can get to a P4 without being one. They are right below Gonzaga in recent years and is expected to finish second in a stacked WCC conference I'm expecting to be a 3-4 bid league with the additions of the PAC-2. This would be a massive win for the Zips or a Strong Loss at minimum. Lamar Conference: Southland BART: 276 Strong Opponents: Texas AM, McNeese State x 2, Louisiana, Texas Tech Omaha Conference: Summit BART: 306 Strong Opponents: Minnesota, UNLV, Iowa State, 2 Big Sky teams Alabama State: Conference: Southwestern BART: 273 Strong Opponents: UNLV, LSU, Cincinnati, Missouri I am not going to sugarcoat it these 3 teams are very rough. But we get 3 homes that will allow Groce to find the best lineups possible for the future and to prep for the 3 day marathon known as the MAC Tournament You never know we might find the next diamond in the rough like with Gardner Webb's decent showing last year. Northern Kentucky Conference: Horizon BART: 156 Strong Opponents: Florida State, Purdue, Cincinnati, Charleston, Horizon League had a crazy year last year so we need to beat them down every chance we get. NKU has a gauntlet in November so they will appear worse than we think heading into our matchup. As we saw last year we cannot take them lightly or else we might need another game winning dunk. Suny Brookport Division: III Free Space 2 Milwaukee Conference Horizon BART: 166 Strong Opponents: Duquesne, UCF Same thing has NKU except Milwaukee has an extremely weak schedule. I will mention this is a neutral site game as well which will add some spice. Yale Conference: Ivy BART: 124 Strong Opponents: Purdue, Minnesota, Vermont, Princeton The smart kids have been hooping. Yale had an amazing tournament and will look to continue their momentum this year. Really excited for this matchup at this Invitational. Jackson State/UTEP TBD Princeton Conference: Ivy BART: 97 Strong Opponent: Rutgers, Duquesne, Saint Joes, Yale Pretty cake schedule for Princeton. I expect them to have a nice record when we travel to face them in December MAC vs SBC Classic Matchup #2 TBD Average BART: 171 Not the best schedule I will admit it. However I think it was made to allow our team to gain chemistry and figure out the best lineups before MAC play without getting steamrolled for paychecks. Very excited for the new year I will be keeping tabs on every team on the list. Please put any updates or thoughts if you want! Thanks for reading!

Welcome back to a brand new season ZipsNation! We have a special treat for the kickoff of the new year. Mac Vs Sun belt action. 12 games in one day starting from 6-8pm. Every MAC win helps the Zips and the MACs reputation. Hopefully having the away games first will give us an advantage and we can squeeze out 5-6 wins so we can capitalize in February! Go Zips! Go MACtion! And enjoy a great night of fun. (And let me get way too invested in this!) https://getsomemaction.com/news/2024/11/4/hoops-are-here-the-2024-25-mens-basketball-season-tips-off-today-with-mac-sbc-challenge.aspx https://getsomemaction.com/news/2024/11/3/-maction-is-back-2024-25-womens-basketball-season-tips-off-today-with-mac-sbc-challenge.aspx

Very excited!

Don’t panic folks we remember what happened last year. I’m sure Groce was just trying to give everyone playing time. Could’ve been a shortened game too to do other drills or scenarios with another basketball team

I love the blue font it and yellow trim for me it makes it pop. I have weird taste though.

This team needs bye week. They are super beat up and it showed yesterday

There's a reason people call Keels "The Voice of God"

He was my future after Finley in CFB25😂. Played 3 years after redshirt and went like 28-10 for me me over that span

Biggest takeaways Front 6 looked like they could be really good against lesser competition. They held Ohio States run game in check all day Finley looks like he can be the guy but man he needs to stay healthy and safe. The o line should hold better against lesser competition but if not he’s in trouble. We have a D1 kicker! Could be a game changer in one score games I liked how Moorehead called the game I really hope he gets the confidence to allow for more play action and deeper throws but I completely get why we avoided it with the o line being totally outmatched today Wide Recievers need to do so much more hopefully it was just a matter of not getting plays to develop but we will see. Hell of a lot better than 2021 let’s hope it can translate the next few weeks.

My expectations are Fire Everyone: Win less than 3 Underwhelmed: Win 3 Happy: Win 4 Very happy: Win 5 Throw a parade: Win 6😂 We will see I’m trying to not get myself too hyped I just want to see a spark before I graduate in spring 25 and something to build on for that 2025 schedule (that I hope remains in tact).

I think we will cover the -50.5 line. We lost 59-7 last time with a lot less talent. OSU has a ton of new pieces so we could have another slow first quarter like they did last time we faced them. Would be really nice if Finley can get us in the endzone twice to give us something moving forward. As long as we handle Colgate the season doesn't start until Week 5 in my eyes with how we schedule

With how inexperienced this team is together I’m really happy with this schedule
