Now stop them from making a run. No letting them back in!

Currie with some ML Carr quality towel waving. It's Carr-esque.

Still too much damn standing around while LCJ pounds the ball out front.

We've had a "Dennis Rodman-esque" and a "Rip Hamilton-esque" from this color guy tonight. Ugh.

Stop giving Jimmy Chitwood open 3's. Christ.

Swingle at his other job-

Yep, he passed up a four footer to pass it to a guy 12 feet from the basketball who can't make a 4 footer. Good defensive half.

I also think that's become a league-wide strategy, to body him up. It was only a matter of time. I'm surprised we haven't seen more teams try to post him up. These announcers, especially the color guy, are bad.

Too much standing around on offense.

Can't sag for help defense and leave Turner open.

Michael Huger looks like he's about to perform surgery.

I remember when KD was trying to get Swingle here. Swingle is now part of one of the fastest growing college basketball groups in America- former Duquesne players.

Ali on Plowden to start.

I don't think the administration much cares. If Arth leaves they'll breathe a sigh of relief for dumping that salary then go bargain basement like WMU did when Hawkins their basketball coach retired, hiring some bargain basement underling assistant.

Turner is going to get his. They need to make sure the secondary players are shut down. This is the type of game when the Zips could use a gritty Channel Banks type to go at Turner. It would be a good night to see Dailey use the defense skills we.re heard about. His length could give Turner some trouble but I suspect he'll be matched up on one of their forwards.

Good point ZZZips.

He should rest easy knowing that the MAC POY is going to graduate and he's next up at point. I'd like to see them figure out a way to get them on the floor together more.

Yep, the refs association doesn't want anything higher than a 5 on any jersey, but the NBA has allowed it (Mikan, Rodman...). https://www.sportscasting.com/college-basketball-players-cant-wear-nos-6-9-and-its-a-problem/

Well the folks at SVSM would be disappointed to know that Ali Ali is currently wearing his number.

A really large banner.

In the rafters does not equal retired number.

Game highlights-

Turner is a real player but the kid I like on that team is Plowden. He's 6'6", plays strong defense, rebounds like a much bigger guy, has a high motor and shoots at a high percentage both in and outside of the three point line. He had 18 points and 10 boards in the JAR last year. He had 10 points and 13 boards at BUGS. Turner is obviously the focus of that offense but Plowden is the lynchpin for that team, getting on the boards, locking down on defense and making important shots.

I don't think that preferring Jackson over Turner puts you that much in the minority. I have a tough time comparing them or choosing one over the other as they are such different players. Jackson is a ball dominating point guard while Turner is a more traditional shooting guard. If you told me I could have one for the Zips, I might take Turner as we already have a ball dominating scoring point guard, but they're both great talents.
