Ugly start.

And if they won he would have told us how important of a win it was for them. Mr. Pinky doesn't realize that being the winningest coach in PCCC history makes him the MAC equivalent of Crash Davis.

PCCC is the opponent. The Beacon just goes to print so early that this is what you get.

Biggest game of the season so far and no one has even posted this year! More good stuff from Ashley Bastock- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2020/12/31/preview-akron-basketball-hosts-central-michigan/4078554001/

They never quite recovered from the exhaustion brought on by playing Olivet.

Nice article on short notice- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/basketball/2020/12/31/last-second-schedule-scramble-has-flashes-visiting-rival-zips-friday-night/4103145001/

They are killing San Jose, running it down their throats. Already 27-0 in the first half.

They were ahead of the Zips when they were to play a couple of weeks ago now they've sat for 2 weeks and been beaten up by Covid which has leveled the court a little.

Brimfield and Franklin Township are jockeying for inclusion.

Team-ism!! Yay!

I'd bet a Covid storm.

Okay, so CMU replaced Buffalo and now PCCC replaces CMU. I'm getting a little dizzy! The Flushes have bested Northern Kentucky, Purdue Fort Wayne and Detroit Mercy while falling in OT to Virginia. Portland State transfer Michael Nuga leads Mr. PInky's squad at 17.8 ppg with 7th year senior Danny Pippen at 17.1 ppg and 7.3 rpg. Temple transfer Justyn Hamilton leads the team at 9.5 rpg while scoring 13 ppg. The Flsuhes have not played since December 13th.

Ugh, another thread! Maybe I should just start titling them by the game number!

I was concerned with Edwards when guys like Dawson and Ali saw time last year as freshmen while he red-shirted. Hopefully he'll grow into a role as a contributor. With the Covid shutdowns and delays and the limited schedule I can't imagine Grice has settled into a rotation quite yet. In the past, it seems like he worked on it up until MAC play started and that's usually about 12-13 games. I don't see it taking 12-13 games to hone it in this odd year, but I think we'll see some tinkering through January.

Well done. Ummmm, how many streams do you get with that? LOL.

I'm sick and damn tired of this CBSports BS.

Zips Weekly with John Groce-

I'm worried in light of their domination over Olivet.

Excitement is building.

...and playing for a P5 school. Thank goodness for those small man genes!

As much as we may dislike some of our MAC rivals, when they succeed in post-season play is is good for the MAC and its member schools.

I used to have more respect for Boeheim before the Bernie Fine mess. He came out of that way too unscathed unlike Paterno.

Jim Boehiem is obviously not a fan of our Canadian rivals- https://buffalonews.com/sports/college/jim-boeheim-says-syracuse-wont-play-ub-ever-again-because-of-trash-talk/article_b97f4bee-4609-11eb-9fc5-73983e87f1a9.html Some highlights- The University at Buffalo might not be welcomed back to the Carrier Dome anytime soon, and as far as Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is concerned "there's no way they're ever going to play here again." Boeheim said on his weekly radio show Wednesday that UB was trash-talking throughout the game and then didn't accept the loss graciously. “Buffalo trash-talked the whole game,” Boeheim said on the show, according to syracuse.com. “They were trash-talking after the game. So there’s no way they’re ever going to play here again. We don’t need that and it’s not very representative of what you should do. They’re up there, ‘Well, we should have won.’ No. You play 40 minutes. Then you play an overtime. Who is ahead at end of the game is the team that should win. That’s the team that should have won. Period."

I just took a look and GT has written at least a couple of movie reviews since Ashley Bastock came along. Hmmmmmmm...
