Zips again playing to the level of the competition.

...and on queue...

It just doesn't feel like an ESPN+ Zips game without John Johnson and Blue Bangs trying to sell me a Toyota.

Maybe they need to change the pregame routine given the repeated slow start issue.

I think the "him" could be the guy that controls the home team score on the score board. He doesn't get many chances.

"Defense is a Tony Barbee staple." Good Lord.

Both of those dunks by guys he was covering.

Record graphic has been updated.

SportsCenter will cut live to it.

TV play by play guy: "CMU settles into the 2-3 that's been pretty effective this year." Dude, they're 12th in MAC defense points against. LMAO.

1 for 10 so far.

3 point in the first 6 minutes. Yikes.

12-4 in MAC, 15-8 overall.

I love these pharmaceutical commercials that tell me I shouldn't take their drug if I am allergic to it.

In ESPN+. I like the ESPN+ scoreboard graphic that says CMU is 12-4 in the MAC and 15-8 overall.

Sometimes that happens and I just have to go to Search and find. Just had to do that now.

Tonight's under/overs: Freeman- 11 rebounds Trimble- 3 made three pointers Ali- 14 points CMU FG percentage- 40%

Agreed, but yet our Zips seem to play to the level of the competition.

He's on the KJ Walton plan.

He and Jayvon Graves were co-Ohio Mr. Basketball and played each other in the state championship game as I recall. He had very few offers so Grice was able to nab him in putting his team together late. His skill set was relatively limited as a freshman and as Kreed referenced, he probably saw the writing on the wall with talented players coming in. He always played hard and seemed like a good kid. He had an uncanny knack as a freshman for getting rebounds at important times. Glad things are working out for him.

He's Bobby Knight without the Orrville charm. Actually, Knight occasionally stopped b!+ch!ng at the refs.

Nice to see the conference stand up to cry baby Bobby. What an irritating numbskull that guy is. I suspect he may be moved along after this season. The video isn't bad as expected. I could imagine him being much worse given his general attitude towards officials. I do miss him coming to the JAR. He's one of the few people I take pleasure in verbally abusing.

All is well. He has the Jack Wagon Seal of Approval.

It's a little odd in that they are number one in 3 point percentage but in the bottom half of threes made per game.

CMU is in a real position of rebuilding. They have a new head coach, Tony Barbee who was an assistant at Kentucky and before that had head-coaching stops at Auburn and UTEP. The team has 12 players who were not on last year's roster. They have four returnees, including starters Ralph Bissainthe and Audre Polk. Polk, a 6-foot-10 sophomore from Detroit who was on the All-MAC Freshman Team last year. They have really struggled so far. Looking at the MAC stats, they are 11th in points scored per game and 12th in points surrendered per game. They are last in point margin at -19.4 per game. They are last in field goal percentage, opponent field goal percentage, rebounds per game and rebounds per game margin. They also have trouble with turnovers and are 11th in TO margin. They are first in 3 point percentage.
