Z.I.P.

Sasho Cirovski has performed a small miracle this season. That team was a MESS in Aug/Sept. The team that got drubbed in Seattle early had no chance of earning a trip to the postseason. Where the new team came from I dunno, but coach C deserves plenty credit for finding them. Question with Kentucky -- as well as they've played all season is, what will happen if and when they hit the College Cup. Their first time in the limelight -- will they hold up under the pressure?

Not a good week for the family! 0-4 in two days at the Maui Ivitational and Cayman Islands Invitational! Groce and Steele.

Interesting stat: We were 14 of 24 on TWO POINT SHOTS!

Down 3. 25 seconds to play. You know we're going to shoot a three! Everyone in the gym is looking for it.

Fayne. Finally. Five. Fouls.

BUT Ivey won't go into the island goodnight! 2 point game!

Utomi and Jackson 4-19 on three pointers. Can't win with that...

Riak fouled out!

The bench is 1 for 8 today! Gotta get more support than that.

First lead since the what...5 minute mark? Gotta get stops though. Go D!

And we made 3 of our last 4 treys to finish the half. Watch this first five mins in the 2nd half. Crucial!

I hate to show my island ignorance.. But here goes. Who is Jeremy Roscoe? JC transfer? Walk-on? This year's Rec Ctr wonder?

Stats show 1 for 17 now! YEEHAW!

15 point run by the Red Birds put us in a YUUGE hole! From 6-10 to a 21-10 lead. Now 26-16.

Watching the replay in bits and pieces...the boss is at work today... There's a guy behind the scorer's table who looks like Groce's twin! Gotta be his brother, eh?

Cant State beat Oakland at home today 75-65 IIRC. We beat them 85-65 at Kent. Melissa is a breath of fresh air in the progeam. I definitely see the ladies buying in for her -- well she's been on the Akron bench for ten years, so these players know her! Remember, the last time an Akron assistant replaced the head coach, it was Dambrot taking Hipsher's place. BTW. She has a strong 2019 recruiting class, including two players from Cincinatti who originally verballed to Bowling Green -- the school that signed the HOT coach from Ashland. I guess they thought Akron was the new hot place to be!

That's Radford which just beat the Irish -- of Notre Dame. Wish I could be there. Good luck Dukes. The home team!

Lipscomb just defeated Washington in PKs, 5-4 (6). 0-0 regulation. Whoa! Also, UC-Irvine converts a 6-5 PK win in 7 rounds to beat Grand Canyon. 1-1 regulation. Anteaters play @Stanford Sunday.

Indeed! Haven't seen Simon's name in so long, really glad to see his success. He was IIRC the first draft choice of Jacksonville in the American Football League and the league went belly-up before he played a game.

Haven't seen the bracket. Who's going to challenge Z.I.P. in the Picker this year? Did WMU get in? WVU vs?

So what you're saying is, next season Jackson could be a graduate transfer?! Good luck, Groce in preventing a one-year-wonder!

The Ford fam is one of Ohio's most successful. Geno's son is a HS coach in Michigan, I think... Amazing, as I remember it seems a few years ago dad was Ohio Mr BB, playing for HIS dad at Cambridge HS. He also led his AAU team to the national championship.

Jeff's a fine coach. I think he could have done a lot better than a middling America East program...but he's proven himself and should be able to join the big time shortly.

Where is the NCAA Selection Show televised? Just ESPN3?

Who was there? Hilltopper? Was Hester in the building? Riak impressing and surprising with that performance. He showed very little in two seasons IIRC at ECU. He can be the missing piece that makes this team a MAC contender.
