Western Michigan comes into the JAR on Tuesday to face the Zips. The 4-12 Broncos are fresh off of a loss to Miami. Their 4 wins have come against Hope, Purdue Fort Wayne, Southeastern Louisiana and Aquinas. The Broncos were predicted to finish 9th in the MAC preseason poll. 5-10 sophomore guard B. Artis White was selected to the preseason All-MAC second team, but he’s only played 5 games thus far. 6-1 junior guard Lamar Norman Jr. leads Bronco scoring at 19.3 ppg, with no other player averaging in double digits. Hopefully, the Broncos will give our Zips a chance to get their feet back under them and work out some of the kinks

Things I would like to see going forward: 1. Consistency in individual performances. So far the only consistent player has been Freeman. 2. More aggressive offensive play from Castaneda. 3. Somebody to step up as a team leader. 4. More under control play by Ali. He's really grown as a player but he just occasionally appears to want to put everything on his shoulders and gets out of control. 5. Tribble to use his athleticism to become a lock down defender. 6. Continued growth from Aziz. 7. Trimble to look to score from mid-range and drive when pressed off of the 3 point line. 8. Clarke to stop going backwards and build on last year. 9. More mixing up of defenses 10. More movement on offense and use of the big man in the pick and roll. The big man NEVER gets the ball in the pick and roll. 11. Michael Wynn to show us something...Just something.

A lot of overreaction in here. Sure, it was ugly but it's a long season and the Zips always have some of these, especially when it comes to travelling to Brimfield. Don't forget, the Zips were not the favorite going in. Too many were judging PCCC on its bad losses and not considering its good wins. That's Mr. Pinky's history- his team playing up or down to the competition. This is the most balanced ZIps team in a while. The down side of that is there's not ""that guy", the guy who gets you a hoop in a pinch or pushes the rest of the team. PCCC has one of those. I think it's too late to develop one in this season. The transfer portal can bring a quick fix to this. From here on out, they'll lose in Athens, at Toledo and at Buffalo and drop another game or two along the way. They'll make it to Cleveland and have a fighter's chance there. It's not the end of the world. It's a predictable loss in a rivalry game. On to the next game.

The only positive is that I only had to listen to this abomination.

Still looking for a leader on this squad.

3 of 19 on threes, all by X.

Tribble + Trimble = 3/17. Ugh.

Yep, outhustling and playing harder. As much as it pains me to admit it, while Mr. Pinky's teams have some unexplainable losses, he sure gets them up for the Zips.

Outside of his range!

If that's her, that's okay. She's handicapped and has passion, but this sounds like a dude.

What an effing obnoxious loon.

Could someone at the game identify the screaming idiot hear the radio broadcasters?

Getting punked on the boards.

Time for a Zip run.

Good, Carry get a little pissy. Stay in his grill.

Here's hoping that the recent trends of UA being a strong second half team and PCCC being a bad second half team continue tonight.

6 points total from Ali, Trimble and Tribble. Yikes.

36% shooting isn't going to hack it. X needs some damn help. Another ****ty first half. Lucky to still be in it.

Need to pick up on the rebounding.

I sat there for The Clash concert in 1982. It's as crappy of a venue for a concert as it is for a basketball game.

I remember some of those early KD teams playing PCCC and it looked like an old time City-County All-Star game with PCCC having the gritty scrappy kids and the Zips having finesse kids that could be intimidated. Those days disappeared under KD and are long one with Groce. If you're going make sure to get there early so that you can get one of those fine seats upstairs where you can't see the near quarter of the court. It's worse that having to watch through a rail and glass. It's a shame that in two counties we don't have a decent arena. Body up Carry, box out Hamilton and get Mr. Pinky extra pink and come home with a win.

I believe Dustin's brother still has a judgment against him resulting from his escape to Bradley from Garrettsville. In the small world department, Geno took over at Stony Brook when Boals left for OU.

Heavy fingers!

Sounds like the Flushes are the reverse of the Zips right now, starting well and then going to ****. Throw Tribble on Insincere and have him get up in his grill all game and make them beat you with someone else.
