Have to hold off the run here.

Just keep E-man in from here. At least he's not killing me.

Big men having a stellar day.

Dizzy spin. Here comes a concussion.

Nice run.

...on the run ...with bad hands...

Riak sitting to start the second half.

Well sure they make them now!

Need to hold them to 28 in the second half (and score more than 32).

Quick and athletic with Mr. Scurvy leading the way.

Up 6-0 to start then give up an 11 point run. Two awful passes for turnovers by Riak.

Digging the uniforms.

Woohoo, body flags today! (What the hell's a body flag? I'd like a XXL please.)

It will be entertaining right up to the point that blood's spilled on the floor, which appears to be only a matter of time. I sure hope the school is having those kids sign some air tight releases. And yes, I realize I'm the "you'll shoot your eye out kid" guy.

Well, sure, but those are Ypsilanti dollars.

I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point the dance team became the main show and the cheerleaders became an afterthought.

Have you not seen the Dizzy Spin Contest or the Hippity Hop Ball Race at the basketball games?

I am very spoiled by my $60 season tickets. Even with that bargain, I can't tell you the last time I bought any concessions at a game. I realize concessions are generally expensive, but they should make some effort to make it more affordable. This is a college game at the JAR, not an NBA game.

He's the Zips' second favorite mascot.

I think Utomi will come around. I've noticed in recent games at the JAR that teams are not sagging off of him for help defense. They've figured out he's the top shooting threat so they are not sagging for help defense when the ball is on the other side of the floor. As a result, he's not getting as many open looks.

I wouldn't put too much on CMU's record. Their OOC schedule was weeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak.

Feeling their Nate Oats.

Not a chance. They will lose 4 or 5 games.

I like the growth, but they're still a couple of players short. I think Williams and Reece may be the players next year to fill out a decent rotation. Reece is only 6-5 or 6-6 but he plays much bigger and we need that help inside.

The Huskies come to Akron Saturday as the second game of a doubleheader with the women's team. The Huskies are 11-8 overall and 4-2 in the MAC. They have wins over OU, Miami, the Zips and Buffalo, with losses to Central and PCCC. As you will recall, the Zips took a huge dump in DeKalb going from a 34-25 halftime lead to a 73-56 loss. Huskies' scoring is led by 6 foot junior guard Eugene German's 20.6 ppg while 6'9" senior forward Lacey James leads rebounding at 7 rpg. The Huskies will be feeling their oats coming off of their upset of #14 Buffalo last night.
