Reminds me of NC Central. Lots of hustle.

16-14 Southern, 11:30. Not a great start for Zips but due for a run. My favorite announcer today. Kenny Rota with a day off to recover from the high school football championships where he felt compelled to say the weight and grade of every kid whose name he announced (over and over).

Yes, Al. Good 750 now. Hustle in for a Christmas t-shirt!

Circa 1975 Marquette Warriors. I keep looking for Jerome Whitehead, Butch Lee and Dick McGuire! Can someone remind me of the purpose of the UA #33 jersey behind the bench?

George acts as though Arth might have given a different answer.

I just hope they don't look past this one in anticipation of next week's matchup with the Concord Grapes.

We got vouchers for a dinner earlier in the season. Kind of a boxed lunch deal. I think they spread them out through the season rather than do them all at once. The ones for the bluehairs like NWAkron and Hilltopper are all soft food.

What's the under/over percentage of fans with earphones at the game listening to the Browns' game on earphones?

Before long, we'll be able to StubHub these valuable tickets!

The Jaguars of Southern University come into the JAR Sunday afternoon to give us all a respite from the misery of the Cleveland Browns. The Jags own a 4-5 record as well as one of the slowest and clunky websites in NCAA basketball. They don't have stats for this season posted on their clunky site and have only beaten awful teams that most people couldn't locate if challenged to do so. They just lost by 17 to Tulane. They were 7-24 last year and made it to the quarterfinals of the SWAC tournament (translation- they were a top 8 team in a ten team league). They were selected to finish sixth in the SWAC conference for the 2019-2020 season.

Yep, nice OOC on the road win. Keep 'em rolling.

They're still tied. ?

I so miss the mid-range jumper.

Yes, but every player must make eye contact and react like they are hanging on every word.

Agreed, he's a good player and you can't have too many of those.

If he's as good as we'd hoped, maybe he steps into Roscoe's borderline rotation spot.

Shhhhhhhhhh, this is a no football zone!

So where does he fit?

From a different perspective, I think Reece and Currie become the primary interchangeable 4 and 5. From what little I have seen of Currie I think he's a little more of a post player than X. He can shoot the 3 but doesn't seem to rely on it as much as X. As such, I think they just need one backup serviceable big. I'm really looking forward to Dailey and hope he's using his year off to hone his offensive skills.

Glad to hear about how they handled the zone. In the limited times they saw it earlier this season, they looked a little lost. I was also happy to hear they mixed up the defenses a little.

I wish Daniel well, but I'd take X over Daniel every day of the week, especially when you consider the nature of this team's offense.

I enjoy it when the Zips play Marshall as I enjoy their pace and motion.

You'd sure hope it was a motivator for someone at UA.

The Zips travel to Huntington on Wednesday the 4th to face the Thundering Herd. The Herd is just 2-3 (but play tonight) and are coached by Dan D'Antoni who loves to have his teams get up and down the floor and score. This year they are only averaging 71.6 ppg, so they must be down a little. They lost their two top scorers to graduation from a team that won the CBI tournament. 5-11 junior guard Jarrod West leads Herd scorers at 15.9 ppg, while 6-5 sophomore guard Taeveon Kinsey leads rebounding at 6.6 rpg. In the pre-season poll, they were picked to finish 11th in Conference USA.
