Hopefully, they can put him on a Greyhound to South Carolina and never utter his name again. No pun intended, but that's too big of a black eye on the program to keep him around.

I'm not so concerned about the loss of a transfer or two. That's the nature of the business and frankly, very obviously, the nature of the kids that transfer. I am much more concerned that the altercation got to that point. Those types of attacks don't usually go directly from zero to full blown assaults. There's usually a pretty obvious sign something is coming. This is on the level of a felonious assault, though it is charged as a misdemeanor. I assume there's some student disciplinary process in the works in addition to the team suspension.

Good luck Torrey. The kid always played hard.

Get's worse by the minute....

From our ever observant NWAkron on the 18th.

Well, ummmmm, I guess that's why K-lac looked like he had been beaten as noticed by NWAkron a couple of weeks ago. In short, good riddance. No room for that.

I want a new arena, but paid for with NWAkron, Kreed and Let'sGo's money.

#10 in facilities seems very accurate. Makes me feel really bad for Miami (can't feel bad ever for PCCC).

They take the damn bus until they play defense for 2 full halves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. Get off my lawn.

I want to take this opportunity to castigate all of ZipsNation for failing to heartily congratulate Mr. Pinky on becoming PCCC's all-time leader in coaching wins. Being the PCCC leader in all time wins is like being Crash Davis in Bull Durham, the all-time leader in minor league home runs. It means you were never good enough to move up.

From what I understand, Danny's not the problem and is a decent kid. Danny's biggest problem is a dad living through his kids that created unreasonable expectations and that he's just not on the level of a P5 talent. He was a great high school freshman and sophomore and between the expectations for his growth as a player and the hype created by his dad (e.g. the nickname "The Prototype") schools moved too early on him. He might do well at a MAC school.

I listened to Groce on Zips Live tonight until I got a call. He said Sayles is playing the best basketball since he got to UA. He also said he would like a 9 man rotation but presently have 7, but that the 8 and 9 spots have to be earned. His happy with the offense but was not happy with the defense of second half Tuesday night.

As I recall, Sayles was hurt in a home game against BG, which would have been January 13th. I'd hope he's back to 100% by now. I think his primary issue is mental in that he loses track of what's going on during the games and disappears sometimes, doing things losing his man, not boxing out, not looking for the ball... He's very good in transition when he's on the move. He's still young so I hope he comes around.

NIU has beaten Rockford, Illinois Tech, Oral Roberts, Oakland, UC Davis, Western Illinois, Chicago State, Ohio and Miami and lost to James Madison, Green Bay, Butler. Northern Kentucky and Michigan State. They beat Chicago State by 41 while the Zips beat them by 39. The Zips beat the Huskies at the JAR last year 82-67 and have won 3 in a row against the Huskies.

So, ummmmmmmm, looks like we just pretty much got the UTC staff.

I have to take the coaching staff's view on the proper rotation of the big men as they see them in practice for hours on end as opposed to our limited views. From my spot in the cheap seats, Riak, Sayles and E-man are all superior to K-lac, and there just aren't that many spots in the rotation for big men. He's appears to be a great kid and his failures are not for a lack of effort, but he's so problematic at times on offense and defense that even my wife would cringe at times last year. I can't recall how many times last year I saw him shut down with the ball near the basket, make some weak shot fake and then turn the ball over, after which I hear a huge sigh and "why is he in the game?' from my better half. Even she could see it.

Sayles has the most potential offensively. I think Riak is what we all expected him to be. GT referred to him erroneously early in the season as "virtually forgotten." Maybe GT was being prescient. I agree K-lac showed some some flashes last year. Unfortunately, they were greatly outnumbered by ugly turnovers and other assorted offensive miscues. He was also so foul prone that he couldn't stay on the floor. Unfortunately, the college game has evolved to a point where it's all 3 pointers and points in close. At this juncture, the Zips are below average at one and way below average at the other.

Always happy to do it and ALWAYS eager to move on after a tough one. I damn near created the Tennessee State thread before the Marshall game was over!

I too would like the centers to become more involved in the offense, but I would also like my rat terrier to wake up tomorrow looking like Jennifer Lawrence. I don't think either have it in them.

The 9-6 Zips visit the 9-6 Huskies this weekend in lovely DeKalb, Illinois. DeKalb is home to the annual Corn Fest which is usually held in late August. The town is named after Baron Johann de Kalb, a major general in the American Revolutionary War. The Huskies are 2-0 in the MAC having beaten OU and Miami. They are led by 6 foot junior guard Eugene German (one of the least athletic names I've ever heard) at 20.7 ppg. 6-9 senior forward James Lacey leads rebounding at 7.3 rpg. The Huskies average 79.6 ppg and give up 72.7 ppg. Coach Mark Montgomery has led the Huskies since 2011.

GOOD. TEAMS. FINISH.

I find MoneyWise to be one of the 25 worst click bait sites.

Yep, for a team that emphasizes defense, that was not a very good second half. To be successful in the MAC, you should win at home and split on the road, beating the "lesser" teams and losing to the better. I'm afraid the lost to a lesser team tonight.
