Groce told Frenchy he was going to call a timeout when Smith came up with the rebound but Coach Ford was in his ear and convinced him to let it play out.

Wow, what a game. 31-18 Zips on the fouls. What an awfully officiated game. One of the worst I've seen in a while, and I am not one to whine about officiating. I'm not sure what more the refs can ask a player to do on D then to hold his ground with his arms straight up. When the offensive players initiates contact in that situation, that's NOT a defensive foul. Groce said post-game that he thought Sayles eyes were in the back of his head. Scarey situation. They believe he has a concussion and he's off to the hospital to check everything out. He also had ice on his wrist.

Rec center Smith with the rebound of the game.

President Wilson just walked sales out to the bench.

He just walked off under his own power.

I have a bad angle as I am on that end behind the basket, but it look for a second like he may have been seizing.

Yes, concious and responding

This doesn't look good for Sayles.

I wonder if it has anything to do with E-man. Could also be next man up/relay type thing.

The refs are calling some ticky tack $h!+.

Koste-lack of playing time today

Anyone have any insight as to the Baton type thing that the Zips are using when players are going in and out of the game?

Utomi, Ivey, Patton, Duvivier and Parrish.

No center in the starting lineup. Push the ball.

I'm trying to be optimistic in my misery.

Well, on the positive side, it looks like I'll finally get to use that extra ticket in my ticket package for a home MAC playoff game.

Plain Dealer/Cleveland.com article- http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/index.ssf/2018/01/akron_zips_emmanuel_olojakpoke.html The Beacon devoted an entire 24 words at the end of an article about Duvivier to the story.

Well, with the E-Man loss, I wonder of we start seeing anything different from the Zips in this one. With only two big men, neither of which is ready for prime time, I wonder what Groce and his staff have in mind. I have to think we're going to see more zone and pushing the ball.

Sure would be nice to have some info on this. I'll bet GT is knocking doors down for info and will something before E-man graduates.

Wow. Praying for a fast recovery. He's always seemed like such a great kid.

That's only for Tuesday night football!

I think it's part of a doubleheader with the women's team. What an awful time to start a basketball game.

I must say that I'd forgotten what it was like to watch bad basketball from "my" team. Safe to say we're spoiled.

BG is 11-5 but played a bad OOC schedule. In MAC play, they lost to Miami but beat EMU and NIU. They have 5 guys scoring 10 ppg or more, with red shirt freshman guard Justing Turner leading the way at 16.1 ppg. 6-10 Junior Demageo Wiggins leads rebounding at 8.9 ppg. I could see some changes in the rotation for the Zips Saturday, including Cotton in the starting lineup. The kid could go from a very recent DNP in street clothes to the starting lineup.
