Captain Kangaroo

It will be interesting to see if some P5 programs with middling records, and an NIT invite, opt out.

I liked Dakich’s comment when, after making a bucket, Wynn flexed his muscles towards the Zips bench -“That’s gotta be a Triple technical!” alluding to the soft technical on Reese earlier in the game.

This is a bad Kent team. They really need a home crowd pick-me-up, but it ain’t coming.

Karma. The Kent guy was out of bounds when he “saved” the last ball.

Technical? Is this Akron-Kent or Saturday morning CYO?

2-8 from behind the arc!

Luckily the most talented team doesn’t always win.

We lost Cheese, Banks, Williams and Riak. We replaced them with Trimble, Wynn, Daily and Freeman. In only one instance did we upgrade. Yet here we are in the top 25% of the MAC again. Wynn has only been with the team for 6 weeks. He seems to get a little better ever game. Trimble can light it up in spurts, but doesn’t impact the game on defense like Cheese or Banks. Daily? Still too hesitant. He drives the lane, and hesitates. He’s unsure at the 3-point line. I think he drained the 3 to beat Toledo because he didn’t have time to think. The clock is ticking on things slowing down for him. Dunno if it will happen. Groce is doing a great job. LCJ rules. If a couple other guys can step up over the next month, we can beat Toledo in the basketball version of Rocky III.

HC Mike Junko at Upper Saint Clair is a former Zip.

Hopefully there is a MAC tournament. If there isn’t, Toledo took a big step towards the NCAA tourney tonight.

Tough to mount a comeback if you can’t make a stop.

Ali Ali floats like a butterfly butterfly and stings like a bee bee!

Sounds like a jackhammer behind Dunn and the guy that replaced French during warmups.

Wynn pulls past Daily on the depth chart.

Be nice to get Freeman back for the 2nd half.

Softest rims in the MAC. Rims clank like someone dropped their toolbox.

I miss the Bracket Buster game. ?

It was a better conference then. Gary Trent was another 1st rounder from that era, as was Dave Jamerson. Devin Davis played for Coles, and in the NBA too. Keith McLeod had a nice NBA career. Antonio Gates was dominant, but played in the NFL as a pro. Grant Long and Carl Thomas had nice NBA careers (EMU). Tons of talent came to the JAR back then. Hipsher had it tough.? How many of those guys would have transferred to a P5 school had today's rules been in place?

Groce was COTY last year.

If we were just talking MAC, adding up his accomplishments at OU and Akron should be a fair comparison? Would Duquesne trade Groce for Dambrot today?

I know many hardcore Zips fans that would happily have traded Dambrot for Gary Waters, back in Gary's heyday.

In defense of the Zips Hoops Fan’s acumen, the poll shows 58 in favor of the Groce hire and 3 against. I see it is up to 60 in favor now? Voter fraud runs rampant even at ZipsNation!??

The transfer portal giveth an the transfer portal taketh away...
