Lunden Mcday is the only player in NCAA D1 basketball that follows his own shot.

Yep, giving up 80+ to a team averaging 71.

Damnit, that's just what I mean. The offense falls asleep, the defensive intensity slips and they are back in the game.

I don't like the Zips propensity to let teams back in the game. I like their resiliency in fighting back, but I'd prefer them to stem those runs faster.

Dukes struggling at UMass today.

Zips 70-62.

History, even very recent history, shows us that things in the MAC can change very quickly. The Zips were predicted to be 5th in the East. Two weeks ago it was all about PCCC and the Zips in the East. Toledo was not living up to its potential, BG and Buffalo were to be the class of the East. I like what I have seen from the Zips, both in effort and in talent, but there's a long way yet to go. Avoid injuries, fight through those off nights and navigate around a slump and they have something special, but there's a lot of basketball left. Go Zips!

I've been critical of GT's coverage of the Zips over the last couple of years, but he's been okay recently. I like the stuff he is getting from the Groce and the players. Here's hoping he keeps it up.

I have a couple of mint Matthew Wilsons available.

Sole possession with another team? LOL.

I'll make you a special deal. I'll sell you 2 Dru bobbleheads for $100!

On Zips Nation, those chickens have hatched, fully grown and have produced new eggs.

Without those transfers the Zips would be like Miami and we'd all be pi$$ing and moaning about how the team wasn't developing fast enough. We all saw the incessant whining and griping from some impatient posters the first couple of years of Groce when he was rebuilding the program. Can you imagine what we'd be hearing now if he'd have focused solely on freshmen instead of mixing in transfers/jucos?

Dru got a bobblehead.

Good for Romeo. I think he stays active with the program. At the ice cream social, Groce mentioned that Romeo gave him the idea as a way to engage fans.

NIU did what they could to give that game back to PCCC but they were too inept to take it. Wow, are they lost right now.

The Zips head to Athens Saturday for a matchup against their old nemesis OU. OU comes into the game at 10-9, fresh off of a nine point home loss to Toledo. Jason Preston and Ben VanDer Plas lead OU at 17 and 15 ppg, with Vander Plas leading rebounding at 7 rpg. Our old friend Jeff Boals is in his first season at OU off of a three season stint at Stony Brook, where he compiled a 55-41 record.

Mr. Pinky looks so disheartened.

PCC down There seems to always be one Zip that drives me nuts. This team does not have one of those guys. All likable kids and they seem to like each other and enjoy each other's success.

PCCC down 8 with 5 left.

"...that gets Miami down to single digits at 71-52...errr. double digits..."

Easy to see why Miami is so far down in the MAC defensive stats.

PCCC having issues tonight.

I think Jack's one ugly damn baby.

I think the MAC leads the NCAA in poorly lit arenas.
