  1. Well, doesn't that figure/suck! Just as soon as Ohio turns the clock, they schedule the Zips and BeeGees at 5 a.m. in my time zone! That sounds like a midweek ESPN MAC football game! Wake me at halftime?
  2. I knew I had seen a reference to the U. of Chicago soccer having a woman head coach of their men's team, and indeed, Juli Stitch coached the Maroons to the D-3 College Cup in 2023. Then took over the D-1 Univ of Denver women's soccer program. https://chicagomaroon.com/39462/news/ncaa-title-winning-soccer-coach-julianne-sitch-to-leave-maroons-for-university-of-denver/
  3. 16 first half assists on 18 FGs! Chee-Hoo!
  4. Shammah and Bowen back-to-back threes! Game over??
  5. Only disappointment is that I can't find myself or MdZip in the crowd scene!
  6. Let it effect Texas schools only!!
  7. I just saw a Zips social media post showing Sammy Hunter and Xavier Castañeda as part of regional international FIBA qualifying tournaments and while Sammy playing for Bahamas was no surprise, it WAS unexpected to find Xavier in qualifying with the national team of Bosnia and Hertzegovina! Not Puerto Rico. How did THAT happen?
  8. Is there a video of Rique's words to the assembled multitudes at halftime? I couldn't make it. My frequent flyer miles only got me to LA.
  9. You're not suggesting that Tom Brady was in any way involved in NIU's strategy, are you? 🤔
  10. Akron only shot 28% (5 of 18) on 3-point shots. BUT, they made 26 of 41 2-point field goals, an excellent 63.4% rate! That's what good teams do to win. Uh oh, ref just handed a cliché warning! 😬
  11. 65-56 Akron 8:14 remaining. ESPN gametracker has only cumulative score. All stats and play-by-play stopped at halftime! Who's scoring in 2nd half? Nate had 13 at the half. CMU's Lithuanian had 20.
  12. Well, Zips wore out in the 2nd half as was predictable. Lost 75-54. Just wondering, the MAC has 2 teams with really strong records Ball State 20-5 and Buffalo 20-4. What are the odds of 2 MAC teams slipping into the NCAA tournament?
  13. Halftime. Akron 27. Toledo 27. Go figga this team!
  14. Uzodinma Utomi now. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Utomi
  15. Understatement of the Season Award leader (by the length of a large marsupial tail)... is the Captain! 🏆
  16. Brandon Mantu scores 6 in 22 seconds. He's the "Sudden Sam" Smith of Kalamazoo. UNLV throwback for those of a certain age. 😉
  17. If the Zips manage to win a game in the NCAA tournament this year, I predict Bowen Hardman will play a big role with getting open outside the circle and knocking out the opponent. BTW, one of my favorite plays in bb is the drop-back pass, such as the one Seth Wilson took for the open 3-ball. It's practically impossible to block or defend.
  18. WRONG THREAD! Get it together or else! Or else... 🤔🤷‍♂️
  19. 4pm HST. Almost "after-work"! Yay! 🍸
  20. MAC has changed the schedule, moving the home game vs PCCC to a Friday -- despite it still being broadcast only on ESPN+. What's up with that?
  21. 24 assists on 28 field goals. Not bad, eh?
  22. Nice run by Akron to take it from 6 point to 14 pt lead. Pretty much in the pocket. Tavari's made 6 of 11 treys, while Nate is not shooting much, but NINE assists. Hope the ankle is better.
  23. 60-36 final score. 😬 I know they're obviously personnel limited but... 4 assists, 22 turnovers. Sheesh!
  24. I missed the entire game (why are they playing weekday games in mid-afternoon???) 😆 BUT from stats only: BSU may have been the first team (at least in MAC play) that could go nearly as deep on the bench as the Zips. Their bench made 8 of 8 FG attempts. My freshman flunker math tells me that's virtually one-hundred percent!
