Reece back in, to foul out soon.

He's having fun dancing in his seat to the music during the timeout.

Settle in. Reece has 4 fouls and Jayden seems glued to the bench.

X scores his first points 24 minutes in.

I need something to keep me here!

Halftime adjustments then throttle them to start the half.

So that's what a week of rust looks like.

I'd take any 3 guys that didn't play on offense like they were CYO grade school spazzes. Defense is good again today. It, along with bad EMU free throw shooting, is keeping them in it.

That may have been the worst 10-minute stretch of zips basketball I have ever seen.

7% shooting so far for the Zips.

9 minutes of basketball= 2 points.

Zips playing like they've never seen a zone.

Rough start, awful shooting by the Zips.

EMU throwing in a little 1-3-1.

Nice early general admission crowd

Hoping that there's no rust today and that the Zips get out to a quick start. Up there, they put it away before EMU was aware the game had started. Hoping for more of the same today.

Here's hoping he's okay. Kid always plays hard. You have to root for the local kid even if he did use poor judgment in selecting a college.

Our friends from NCC and their schedule made it into SI! https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/28608177/north-carolina-central-college-basketball-long-unseen-road

Looks like some talented kids coming to Akron, but after last year I sure wish more of them had "OL" behind their names. There must be some real confidence that the kids already on the roster are going to develop.

Tyler needs to be like a melted processed cheese-like food product. Hopefully, his game doesn't give us cardiac issues or the runs.

Listening to Groce on Zips Live. He said he gave the team Saturday and Sunday off, had general pre-season-like practices Monday and Tuesday, took Wednesday off and had EMU specific short practices for Thursday and Friday. As for EMU, Groce referenced their momentum and how they're playing great defense in the 2-3. Pointed out how important it is to get points in transition before they can set up the zone. Also mentioned how they are starting to click on offense recently too.

Murphy has only been mediocre for 9 years. Old Steve has mastered it for almost twice as long! Boeheim assistants must sign an agreement that if they ever leave they'll never venture from the 2-3 zzzzzzone. Murphy, Orr...

If the MAC tournament started tonight.................................................the winner would have one hell of a long wait for the NCAA tournament.

Toledo fans have to be losing their minds. Strange night in the MAC. Flushes lose again, EMU beats Buffalo, Central over BG...

The 12-10 Eastern Michigan Eagles come into the JAR this week for a Saturday afternoon tilt. The Eagles have struggled in the MAC (2-7) but have won their last two against Toledo and Buffalo. They are very balanced with their top 4 scorers all averaging between 10 and 11.3 points. While their record is not very good, a review of the scores indicates that they have been in most of their games and the last two games show they have really come around. The Eagles, as in past years, are big on the front line. Seven-foot center Boubacar Toure, is averaging 10 ppg and 9 rpg a game. Ty Groce, a 6-foot-8-inch junior, leads the team at 11 ppg and 5 plus rpg. The third starter up front is 6-foot-10-inch junior Thomas Binelli. I have 2 GA tickets for the Miami game on the 22nd. If anyone wants them please PM me.
