I'm not wild about the OOC schedule, but let's not act like the Zips are the only one in that pattern. PCCC had Oberlin this week and will follow it up after a holiday tournament with our friends from Point Park. Also, as Hilltopper and Kreed suggest, the school would have to support a budget that would allow the travel to play significant away games and the school's not exactly eager to expend money right now with dwindling resources and budget cuts. I would say that if they are going to play patsies, I'd like to see them give area teams a chance (Mount Union/Malone/Walsh/John Carroll/BW/CWRU/etc.).

If they'd have had any confidence they would have used a pen.

I wouldn't care if they ran the triple option, veer, wishbone or the wing-t if they won.

I guess Emma warmed up for the last game but still wasn't up to playing.

I made my way all of the way through it. I did not feel shorted for the $3.75 the game actually cost me. One thing on display in this one that I actually like is this team's flexibility and ability of everyone to switch on defense. The post-game Groce radio interview was interesting. He talked about how the culture is now finally established especially on the defensive side. He spoke of how this is the deepest team they've had and how it will allow them to keep the pressure on all game. He also talked about KJ Walton and how when he first arrived and started out in June he was not the player they expected and how he sat him down and essentially told him that of he didn't buy in he wasn't going to play and how KJ took the conversation to heart, committed to the culture and has become an integral and valuable part of the rotation.

The Zips head to the Gulf Coast Showcase Monday and open with the 2-1 Fordham Rams. Fordham plays in the A-10 and so far have beaten Columbia and University of St. Thomas while losing to Manhattan College. Fordham was ranked as 14th in the 14 team A-10 pre-season poll. Fordham lost it's top 3 scorers but returns 3 starters and has a new coach, Kyle Neptune, who was an assistant at Villanova. They also added All-Horizon League Darius Quisenberry, a 6-2 guard from Youngstown State

72-31, 11:05

59-26, 16:29 left.

22-4, 9:15 left in half.

This is the emptiest I've seen the JAR on a while. Easy to see how Malone beat these guys.

Let's hope they get more than 4 minutes of playing time. That's what you get when you bail on the Jesuits. It's the curse of St. Ignatius.

It's kind of like being a Browns fan whose only excitement each year revolves around the draft.

My favorite t-shirt-

Please don't reference Ohio State or the Buckeyes. It's a trigger for bigjim.

I have an extra GA seat for this one if anybody wants it.

Well stated. I really like him. I'm not sure he is a D1 FBS head football coach but he seems like a hell of a guy and a great influence on the kids.

Ended up 89-58. Good Lord, Plowden and Diggs are still playing for BG!

The dude abides. I'm still a little hurt that my Petrino and Pitino combo was commented upon. 😆

Game time moved up to 5:00 to accommodate the soccer game.

Ugh, straight from work.

Z-Fund donors of $2500 or more don't pay the cover, others pay the $20. https://gozips.com/news/2021/11/12/mens-basketball-akron-athletics-announces-new-z-fund-mens-basketball-courtside-club.aspx

"Teamism"!!!!!!!

Dre's favorite candidate is telling people he informed UA that he's not interested.
