In my book a sucky 14 win team, from a sucky conference gets no post season play. Ever. From this day forward, until James Naismith XXVI celebrates his 95th birthday.

A 1-bid, 15 team conference.

West Virginia Wesleyan?

They fooled me this season. I really thought they had the potential to make some post season noise. Instead they fell flat on their face in their two defining games and proved they’re just another decent MAC runner up team that deserved no better than what they got in the post season. An NIT bid, and an embarrassing first round exit. Since the Rockets last NCAA appearance the Zips have made the Big Dance 5 times, under 3 different coaches.

I thought the revised rule limited players to only one transfer with immediate eligibility?

If he transfers again he needs to sit out, right?

I hope this post sets the ZN.o record for likes.

If Huggins would entertain returning, it would be an interesting decision.

If bad tastes in our mouths bothered us we wouldn’t be Zips fans. BTW- Saw YSU is hosting Oklahoma State in the NIT.

In the transfer portal era, I think teams are going to look completely different every year. Tomorrow's team is promised to no one. Is passing on the CBI an affront to teams of the past that would have killed for the opportunity to compete, but were robbed of it for whatever reason? A little bit. The CBI is definitely an unsexy tournament. But it is a decent-sized assemblage of like-ability teams, and it would have been fun if the Zips participated and happened to string together a couple wins...even if only against North Alabama and Tarleton. Moot point now...we now forge on to the Portal Season, and prep for 2023-24.

Could Travis wire Guthrie 27k?📞

If Cleveland State and Duquesne are willing to spend money on their basketball programs that were not, that would make me sad. Awaiting Guthrie’s comments on why his 22 win team isn’t playing in the postseason. I know Travis, Joyce, Middleton, etc would have given anything to have a crack at the postseason. Ditto Banks/Cheese/Williams and LCJ.

Zips vs Duquesne

Toledo is a great team. They remind me of the Xerious/LCJ/Cheese/Banks Zips team. They could easily go to the NCAA round of 32 pending the match up. They will beat Kent.

I agree with you, but our chances of turning it over 4 more times is better.

You’re right, but Kent has a front runner mentality. 12 minutes to go we still have a good shot.

Carry’s beard looks like a 6th grade hobo costume.

Awesome to see Hankerson able to do something like that after toiling in obscurity in DeKalb for 4 seasons.

Coaching a successful Division 1 basketball program somewhere.

If you want 20 wins, hire Keith Dambrot. Beyond that is expecting too much. I watched one of their games this season, and the announcers said he was the first Duke's coach to have multiple 20-win seasons in 50 years. If that's what floats their boat, then they hired the right guy. A great mid-major coach fights above his weight class. Keith is good within his weight class, but not above it.

I always used to enjoy Ball State's pep band back in the old MAC tourney days. They were hands-down the best. Looks like I may not get to see them this year.😡

I just can’t get enough of Reghi’s staccato repeating of the height, weight, college year, and hometown of every player the entire game. Whether he’s already said it 20 times, or not. Love him or hate him, give him credit for being able to read a roster.

Ali pours in 5 in a losing effort tonight. Butler’s season comes to a merciful end. The good news is - Ali will have an open schedule to cheer on his former coach & team at Rocket Mortgage starting tomorrow! #alwaysazip

I hope you are correct. If you look at the Rocket Mortgage Field House Re Entry Policy, it says "no." Maybe it varies depending upon how benevolent the ticket attendant is?
