Could be one or two academic non qualifiers in the 2016 class who will have to sit out next year and pay their own way.

I've known Dan for many years and was well aware of the difficult odds he was fighting against, but I'm still stunned and saddened by the news of his death. My thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy and the boys at this most difficult time. RIP Dan ...

Zips roster has Capi listed as a junior.

Tree lost his composure after turning the ball over at about the 3.50 min mark. He pretty much gave up and didn't even try to get back on defense. KD yanked him. Don't know for sure, but I think he was in the locker room before the game ended.

I remember Nate Barnett, Dick's nephew, who played for the Zips in the early 70's, then went on to play for the Indiana Pacers in the old ABA.

Beginning to it's merciful end, this may be the most boring thread ever on ZN.O.

I didn't get to see Brian yesterday. How tall did he look? Signed: Newbie Putz

Yes Dave, you are a random fan. and yes Dave your opinion is meaningless.

Yea, like maybe Diggs won't be back or something like that.

@ DIG ... since you like to use Webster to define words and terms for us, Webster defines "sixth man" as follows: a player in basketball who is regularly used as the first of a team's substitutes in a game. Doesn't say anything about a "multi-talented player who can play several positions". I think you and Go Zips just made that up.

@DIG ... I think I have read all of Districtballers posts over the years. One that I remember most was an early post of his contention that we had a good program but not one at the "level" of VCU. It may not be and may not have been, but why come one Zipsnation to proclaim it. Don't confuse passive aggressive behavior with civility.

@ Districtballer ... nice job of minimizing our win tonight. I think most of zipsnation appreciates your commentary. I, for one, think you are very passive aggressive in your approach to our program. For others out there who think this is our best regular season victory ever, this is not the first time we beat Miss. St. during the regular season. Dambrot & Co. beat Miss. St. a few years back in a tourney in Puerto Rico.

Yes, while Demetrius might well be the 10th man at this point, do you still think Quincey is the 6th man?

Len Paul came 69-70 ... one of the top 6 players ever at UA.

Granted, but do you want to rely on that happening every game? As has been stated on this board a bunch of times, even if you are having an off night offensively, defense can keep you in the game. I was just pointing out that after what appeared to be a very good defensive first half (28 points), that was a lot to give up in the second. Western Michigan got 17 pts on 20 free throws in the 2nd half alone. Was starting to look a lot like our game @ NIU when they shot 40 from the line. Not sure they deserved that many free throws in a half...especially in our house.
