...despite that went 123–163.

He had a decent team in 15-16 with the Maric kid at center. He was a quality MAC big man.

Apparently, Olivet's schedule was full. Damn, they got beat by 20 by SIU Edwardsville. Their website states it a little oddly- "Northern Illinois University will make a change in its men's basketball head coaching position and will separate from head coach Mark Montgomery effective immediately..." I wonder if it's a conscious uncoupling and whether they'll ask everyone to respect their privacy during this difficult time.

I got the sense from the presser that he's close.

Rest and recovery is good but right now I think this team needs in game floor time. For long periods last night they had no rhythm or flow. I wish they had a Tuesday game this week rather than 8 days off.

Tribble was out. Sprained ankle. Wynn is #20.

Post-game presser-

He's the child of Jalen Rose and Jimmy King!

Tribble is becoming almost as much of a mystery as Currie. I hate these days of player news being treated like national security secrets.

So many candidates but no one stepping up yet. They need that guy as LCJ can't be counted upon to be that guy 100% of the time. Nobody can.

The Zips head to Ypsilanti on Saturday, January 9th, to face the 2-3 Eagles. The EMU wins have come over Rocky's wife Adrian and juggernaut Olivet while their losses have come to Toledo, Michigan State and Central Michigan. The Eagles are led by 6'2" junior guard Bryce McBride at 15.4 ppg and 6'8" redshirt senior forward Ty Groce at 14.8 ppg and 6.8 rpg. It feels Ty Groce is the only player in the MAC as long as Danny Pippin! Eastern was picked 8th in the MAC pre-season poll. Coach Rob Murphy continues to follow his tradition with a a big front line with Groce at 6'8" joined by 6'10" Thomas Binelli and 6'10" Jalen King and still uses quite a bit of 2-3 zone. They also do not play until the 9th.

Radio made it sounds like a rare flub from LCJ.

There's just nothing better than beating Mr. Pinky and the Flushes, especially on an off night. Kids showed a lot of heart.

That Nuga kid is good.

You all knew we'd end up here.

Radio feed just dropped. Grrrr.

OK, time to step on their necks.

Jermaine Marshall has a little attitude. Zips need a little of that.

He obviously worked very hard in the off-season.

Let's go Zips! Now let's finish!

Brian Trimble time

Radio feed a full minute behind the live stats.

Clark needs to play more in the second half. Dailey and Trimble have to contribute. Need to take advantage of PCCC's aggressive defense.

They seem to waking up a little.
