Blue & Gold

Dawson’s been off the last few games.

Nice little contingent of Zips fans at the game.

Commentators very complementary to Akron. Especially defensively. I didn't know we were statistically the 29th best defensive team in the nation. What a dunk by NIU. Wow.

Nice mid-range J from Trimble

NIU w/ a couple TOUGH 3’s

Wynn in the game

Definitely looking more comfortable.

Nice looking shot from Clarke

We should schedule that game as often as they'd have it.

Definitely. Mumpfield was nothing but gracious.

ESPN+ is listing the tip off at 8:00 p.m.

Now that I think about it I'm surprised the game doesn't tip off at 8:00 (EST). A standard 7:00 tip off for us is going to be a 6:00 tip for NIU (Central).

I'm hoping to see good ball movement and off-the-ball movement, i.e., offensive flow. The fewer Ali Ali dribble-dribble-dribble-dribble specials the better. "There is a direct correlation between the number of ball reversals and defensive breakdowns." -Kevin Eastman The last few games we don't seem to have been as reliant on Trimble's 3-point shooting as we were earlier in the season. That's a good team adjustment. Good job, Groce & Co. It'd be great if we could get to a point where we could just consider Trimble's shooting icing on the cake. We can beat NIU w/o Trimble catching fire. Hoping for more solid minutes from Wynn & Clarke. (No sloppy passes from Clarke.)

The construction (along with COVID) has run a handful of places out of business. It had better be absolutely magnificent when they’re finally finished. Exchange Street from Main Street to Route 8 is on deck. It will be a needed improvement tying UA & downtown, but I’m sure it’s going to be a nightmare for a couple years.

Nice post-game article from GT

Glad to hear this. This likely means they flew to Miami as well. I was having a nightmare about them bussing to Miami then bussing home. Then bussing to Dekalb and then bussing home. And then having to muster energy/legs for KSUcks on Friday.

I hope this is true and until shown otherwise this is what I'm going to believe. I like what I saw of Kalle. He's very offensive-minded. You don't often see that from freshmen bigs. With Kalle redshirting we're getting quite the infusion of long-term talent next year in: 1. Kalle - 6'10" offensive-minded big 2. Kobe - one of Ohio's all-time leading scorers 3. Nate - a 3-star shooting guard 4. Prather - a 3-star shooting guard 5. Tavari - a PG whom was highly coveted amongst mid-majors Like ZipWatcher used to say, "The future is 😎"

I believe it’s a play on the above sentiment, plus wasn’t there a Miami player back in the Romeo/Dru/Wood era that sweated profusely during games & would have butt crack sweat showing through his shorts?

No minutes for Kalle.

What a 2nd half for Ali!

Lairy on fire

Tribble passed up on two wide open corner 3’s.
