To be fair, I believe akronzips71 wondered if Freeman could become a contributor as a big man for the Zips after seeing his size on the bench and his limited minutes. I, on the other hand, thought he would be nice company for Scott Walter at the end of the bench, taking Marquelle McIntyre's spot. I don't think even Freeman's mom would have seen what he has become. I remember the video of him form the Akron Canton Pro Am League. He was dominating 6 foot tall kids from the suburbs. It looked like a CYO game where one kid's testosterone came in a year early.

You're mixing up Keno with Geno!

It has become apparent in recent games though that the league has figured out that Tribble has no outside shot. They are all sagging off of him.

However, they do know where Dylan Frye is seated.

The Zips face 6-8 CMU at the JAR at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. CMU is led by 6'5" senior guard Travon Broadway Jr. at 16.8 ppg. They are 2-5 in the MAC with two wins over Eastern Michigan and losses to BG (twice), Western, PCCC and Toledo. I'll try to get some more info on the Chippewas if and when I get a chance.

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.
