Sullinger didn't like the conservative Christian bent at Furman. Like it happened after he got there!

105 is adjacent to the zips sections.

Zips leading in the statistic of butts in seats 30 minutes before the game.

I went last year. A bunch of UA luminaries and fans meeting up. The cheerleaders and/or dance team came in at one point to whip up the crowd. It was a good time.

The Marcus Johnson I remember from SVSM was a 6'2' to 6'4" wing type player. He either grew up (and out) or that's a different dude.

The directionals again doing the MAC proud.

Eastern Michigan going full Eastern Michigan.

Under/over is 166.5.

We played two very different games against Toledo. At the JAR on January 14th, the Zips were down 12 at half and outscored Toledo 55-36 in the second half to win 85-78. On March 4th, at Toledo, the Zips were up 21 at half then got outscored 63-51 in the second half, winning 96-87. I'd suggest that the Zips should outscore the Rockets in both halves tomorrow to remove the suspense.

"Precocious" was apparently on Reghi's Word Power tapes this week.

Nice to know I can strike someone in the face if they're in my area of verticality. This feels like it might start getting chippy.

I took off my glasses and pounded a table too.

Make the damn layup. It isn't showtime!

Inside and penetration starting to work as BG focuses on defending the 3.

One area where the Zips have not been good is coming out of a timeout right before the half. Seth and Marcus Johnson should know each other from their time at SVSM.

Todd Simon did not get the memo that the defense should focus on defending the three.

She was just riding her unicycle around the kitchen one day....

To what will be his 4th school in 4 years. I wonder if he's lowered his hood yet.

Nate got the award by being the best player on the best team and being solid across the board in the MAC: * 17th in scoring * 20th in rebounds per game * 16th in field goal percentage * 16th in assists per game * 5th in assist to turnover ration * 24th in blocks per game * 3rd in steals Another stat indicative of his play and the Zips depth is that he was the top Zip in minutes yet only 19th in the conference.

I'm happy for all of the guys that made the teams but I think I am happiest for Shammah. I can't imagine it is easy to be that talented yet not start. Instead of sulking Shammah knows and relishes his role and excelled in it. It's also obvious that he has worked hard on his game.

Nate wasn't first or second team- https://getsomemaction.com/news/2024/10/21/mac-announces-2024-25-mens-basketball-preseason-poll-teams.aspx

I think the Third Team would win in a matchup against the first and second teams as they get to put 6 players on the floor!

You earned it!
