I'm not giving back the win but damn, this is one of the most frustrating Zips hoops teams in recent memory.

At least the defense is good. Holding them to 35% shooting.

November? LOL.

5 minutes into the 2nd half and 4 of our starters have combined for 14 points.

Leave Freeman out top with the ball and nobody move to get open.

Well, that half wasn't complete loss. It was ugly enough that I didn't feel guilty peeking at the Bengals/Titans game.

I fixed that for you LZip.

So damn perplexing and frustrating.

Zips need to move the damn ball and stop dribbling so much against the zone.

Is Ali in the JAR? Yikes.

Crowd- large Clarke- Comfortable It's all relative.

Nice to see the officials brought their microscopes tonight.

The old man in my head just said "you guys are 20 years old. Wake the hell up."

Trimble with one solid 3, not rushed, moving towards the hoop, a make. One rushed, falling away, no good. There's a lesson there.

A regular reliable poster on here.

Two starters, including Farakhan, out for EMU.

I remember those huge EMU front lines 3 or 4 years ago with Thompson, Groce and Boubacar, all 6'9" or bigger. They were ineffective but they were big!

I think the Trimble situation and the WMU situation were very similar. Three really hot shooters who also got a little help from the defense. Groce and the BG assistant both hit on it. BG opted to go under on picks rather than fight through or switch and it killed them at times. I think we'd have also seen a lot more defensive pressure, especially full court and that half court trap, if the roster numbers would have panned out. For now, I'll give Clarke an injury pass. Walton and Wynn let this team down.

Agreed. When I was able to attend, through most of December, I was often the ONLY person in my end section above the Zips bench. Unfortunately, due to a health issue with one of my immediate family members, I can't risk bringing anything home.

Gotcha! That makes sense. I guess everyone should know by now to just contact me if they want them! By the way, I have 2 tickets tomorrow if anyone wants them shoot me a PM. LOL.

Could someone explain to me what's amusing about my offer for the free tickets? 😕

I am certain I loudly exclaimed what Ralphie in Christmas Story referred to as "THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word!" Fortunately, I was home alone.

I have two tickets for anyone who wants them. Shoot me a PM.

I was losing my mind on those. On the one, the guy just waltzed around Ali and got the board.

Good call. There were some odd bounces and unfortunate switches (e.g. Castaneda to Plowden) but there was some poor blocking out.
