Lady Redhawks trounce Ball State 72-53 in Muncie. Miami now 8-0 in MAC and in first place. First win in Muncie since 1998. Great win for third year coach and former Zips assistant Glenn Box.

I casually watched it on ESPN+. Attendance was listed as 893. Yeah, OK. 🙄

First year coach for Buffalo. Lost 4 starters and 11 of 12 letter winners. 😬

Zips lose 82-68 at UMass, ironically to another 3rd year coach who has turned his program around. Zips are now 10-31 in the MAC under Gensler. Just saying it can be done a lot better.

Had ice bag on ankle/lower leg. Gone now, but limping.

Apparently nobody told the team tonight is supposed to be a a Gold Rush. Or most of the fans. 🙄

Zips trail 38-23 at half. Were outscored 18-2 in 2Q. 😳

Today's matchup is of interest as it matches up two programs that are in the third year of a new coach. Former Zips assistant coach Box seems to have turned things around after talking over a really bad situation at Miami. The jury is still out on Gensler's tenure. 🤔

Be ready for the likely runover of the Miami-Toledo game into the start of the Zips game. Maybe the alternate feed in the CBS Sports app will even be the Zips game. 🤔

There are only two NFL games on Saturday at 4:30 and 8. 2:00 Saturday would have been a swell time for our game. Oh well, I'm sure the Friday night MAC slate will still bring in mega ratings.

Just wondering who the bright person was who scheduled this game on Friday night at the same time as the CFP semifinal game. 🙄

Zips women lose 85-59. They may be able to take some solace in the fact that it's one of the smaller margins of victory Michigan has had so far. Heck, they beat Notre Dame and Purdue by a lot more. Not sure how the Wolverines worked their lineups today.

The bad news is the men's game isn't on ESPN+. The good news is that the women's game at #6 Michigan isn't either.

Flushes are playing Roberts Wesleyan today. New one on me.

Zips beat Heidelberg 117-34.

Awful. You just can't lose by 27 at home to a regional rival regardless of who the coach is.

I think our problem against Arizona was we didn't have enough 6-9 and 6-10 guys. They had athletic bigs.

I was at the game last night at Assembly Hall. Nate was the best player on the court in the first half for KSU. Things went downhill a bit in the second half as the Hoosiers surged back. I have family in Bloomington who have IU ties and season tickets, so I had on a red B-Town shirt and a gold Zips "Z" hat. I passed a couple in the hall who yelled Go Zips, so we spoke briefly and agreed we were showing some support for Nate. Too bad he had to play in those lavender uniforms.

That's pretty much how they cover late games these days. 🤨

Women lose to Xavier 64-57, ending Xavier's 35 game road losing streak. 😳

I stopped buying athlete specific sports apparel when I got older than any of the athletes and that's been a while. I'd feel kind of silly wearing a 19 year old kid's jersey unless it was a special occasion like the Enrique jersey giveaway (which I was unable to get).

It's so ridiculous that we have to start a thread like this. You should be able to go into any area Walmart, JC Penney, Kohl's, Target, etc. and find a selection of merchandise. I don't get why the university keeps dropping the ball on this. Plus those posts about another new bland apparel piece are unexciting. Quit trying to maximize profit and sell most stuff through the bookstore. The idea is to get your name and logo out there in as many places as possible at reasonable prices then the money will come. Old man rant finished.

Seems to me Tenieshia Clark would have been a good candidate.

Yesterday against Michigan she had 12 pts on 4-21 shooting and 7 turnovers in a 93-54 loss. Obviously a much higher quality opponent, but a really bad day for a really good player.

5 pt 1Q. Still hungover from ND?
