Zips lose to Miami 58-48. A very disappointing loss and not a particularly inspired effort IMO. Bass battled with 13/12, but went 4-11 from the FT line. Haney had no points. Bad loss at home. Nuts.

What do you suppose they're charging for parking for track meet in Lot 10? 🤔

Toledo beats the Zips 88-66. Down 17 at half, the Zips cut deficit to 9 in 3Q at one point. Second half was at least a little more entertaining.

Well, kinda. 🙄

Zips women squeak by with a 61-59 much needed road win at NIU. Huskies had three shots to tie it on last possession with final close in attempt rolling around the rim and falling off. 🫣

Bass didn't even get a shot off in the first half. 😳

Here's an idea, if you're going to turn the lights out for player introductions maybe you should have a spotlight on them. Now they run out in the dark. 🙄

29-26 other women at half after Zips led 19-10. Zips really need better efforts from Haney and Riley in second half.

Halftime show on ESPNU (cable).

They've mentioned both being out a couple times.

Zips women really need a win Saturday against Kent.

Do they ever run that Roo Express bus on a loop from downtown and the Exchange Street dorms to the JAR? Seems like on a night like this it would be ideal.

It always reminds me of back in the day walking across campus from Olin Hall to Auburn Science Center for my next class. It still brings a tear to my eye. 🥶

Looks like a full fledged splint to me. He went right to the locker room after he hurt it near the Zips bench. Looks like x-rays in his future.

Here's an idea, if you are going to market student section tickets to the general public don't allow those students to stand the whole game and block the view. I knew it was a possibility with school starting next week, but I watched the other games during the break and no one was standing. We've moved to other seats easily as a number of others have, but just an example of lack of coordination. 🤨

I've gotten by for years with mostly $15-18 caps and $20-25 long sleeve t-shirts from Walmart or the old Campus Book Supply store on Exchange that are still holding up. Walmart has almost nothing anymore and the book store on Exchange is no longer the same business. I'm curious about what ended up at the Salvation Army. I agree the idea is to get the merchandise out there in as many places you can at different price points. We need exposure.

Kind of strange to raise tickets prices during the season, but it might be that variable ticket pricing like a lot of professional teams do these days. Now we're in the thick of the MAC schedule and the holidays are over ticket prices are raised. My 6 game mini plan tickets were only $25 each, so I'm saving even more money now. 😉

Looking back at their schedule, their losses have been respectable (within 10 or less) except for three blowouts. One to Michigan State and one to Cleveland State. Maybe that's their stage of development now. Respectable losses. I think the Zips let down a little after the Ball State game, though.

Zips women beat CMU (1-11) 70-62 in a win that was harder than it should have been. I guess a win is a win.

From what I see basketball parking for PCCC games is free or $3 depending on day of week and location and at YSU it's free. Enough said. I have no problem with a $5 fee. $10 is ridiculous. Not to mention $4 for a bottle of water and $6 for a 32 oz. pop. (How about $3 for a 16 oz drink?)

I stand by my observation. 🙂 It was right in front of me. Groce was at the other end of the court and Tribble's back was to him when he spoke at the ref. I'm sure there was plenty of prior trash talk to bring on the T.

I stand by my observation. 🙂 It was right in front of me. Tribble turned and looked directly at the ref and said something, as he turned around to run up court the ref T'd him up. No one was nearby. I guess the ref could have been between him and the bench. Prior trash talk may have contributed to the call.

It looked to me that Tribble got the T for turning and saying something something to the ref after he made a nice block and it wasn't called a foul like his 4th. Never a good idea to poke that bear.

Traveling 🙄

I think Haney's been pretty disappointing so far. She's only shooting about 31% from the field. Not good for a scorer. I've been hoping she'll find her shot, but it hasn't happened yet. She had some bad misses tonight and never got in the game after a bad miss on a breakaway layup in the 4Q. I hope she comes around soon. They really needed another scorer tonight.
