The Zips begin practice on Friday 10/14!!! Hoping that GoZips and others will use this thread to provide updates, insights, and information on the initial weeks of practice leading up to the season opener.
FYI -- I did hear that the MAC Championship rings were in!!
From what I've heard it is Mississippi State as the 11/9 game and the 11/18 - 11/20 games will be played at Valpo. We will play Valpo and Duquense (A-10). I don't know who the 4th team/3rd game will be in that sub-regional.
It's never too early to begin the 2011-2012 Men's Basketball schedule thread. MAC Sports has the OC schedule but I'm more interested in the OOC schedule. Here's the 'few' dates that I have:
11/28 @ West Virginia
12/19 @ Youngstown State
12/29 VCU
If anyone else has dates, please update this thread. (FYI..these dates were validated on the team websites.)
Were you able to make the trip?
Unfortunately no. I'm following the game via Twitter updates. 1:24 into the 7:00 game Zips up 7-0.
Who's tweating?
You can get game updates from @followtheroo
I'll bite. How many letters? Can I have an 'R', 'L', 'S', 'T' and 'N', I'll buy an 'A'

elitehoops is giving me the updates. Here's the latest: 112-54 Zips up with 55sec left.
I'm actually here in Pittsburgh. There's a guy on Twitter that's at the game giving me updates. I wish I was there too!
Latest score: 75-37. He said that Zeke is playing well. Blocking shots and finishing. They have no answer for him.
I agree Zach. Nik is a prime example of breaking out and moving to the next level in his Junior Year. Nik averaged 5 points a game as a sophomore and had a great Junior season. I also believe that Zeke is hungry for more after reaching the NCAA and will have a break out year.
I've heard two things:
1) The team is planning a trip to Canada in August to play a few games exhibition games. I believe Harney, Treswell, Walsh, and Gilliam are all eligible to play in these games.
2) The team is looking to play in a Major Pre-season Tournament.
