As sad as it is, I'm surprised it's only 50.

Groce's strength is supposed to be recruiting. He didn't have much of a chance coming into this year, so we'll have to see. Not only does he have to recruit, but he'll have to retain what they have. In simple terms, losing sucks and our team is losing. In Groce we trust (it's not like we have another choice).

I will have a tough time adjusting to the loss of Jimmy Hall as I will now have to find another Flash to direct insults. His Hofstra "incident" coupled with his long stay at PCCC brought me years of joy. Good luck to the Zips tomorrow. I am out of town so I will have to depend on you guys to cheer on the Zips and harass Mr. Pinky.

Oh goody, another Dambrot debate...

He was teetering on his contract not getting renewed and then they mage their run last year, a run with which we are all too familiar.

Exactly, in large part based their performance in.....the....MAC tournament. They don't have the finances to just send him on his way.

He didn't have to as K-lac inexplicably hacked him 15 feet from the basket (on the play he fouled out).

It was also very shortly after they called a very similar play a charge by Ball State.

I think we may well see another odd situation next year where some kids see less time than they dd this year. Such is life with this transition.

Don't get me wrong LZip. I like the kid, but I think people need to temper their excitement as well as their disappointment. I hope to hell he's a late bloomer.

Let's be brutally honest. Kostelac is 6-11, 250 and is playing at the University of Akron after high school at NDCL and a year at IMG. At NDCL, he was 3 time All-League Honorable Mention. The NCL is not a basketball powerhouse league. He seems like a great kid and has potential, but he's a freshman who would never see the floor on a decent team or a team with some depth at the bigs. He has been thrown to the wolves and hopefully that will benefit his long term development, but given his background we shouldn't get too excited by his potential or too disappointed when he has difficulties.

Mr. Pinky and the 12-14 Golden Flushes of PCCC await the Zips this Saturday at the MACC. PCCC has been one of the MAC’s most inconsistent teams (6-7) with wins over Buffalo and Western and losses to BG and NIU. Jaylen Walker leads the Flushes at 17.2 ppg. Adonis De La Rosa leads rebounding at 7.8 ppg. Be sure to get there early so that you can get a seat with a view to most of the floor. It’s very odd to head into this game with both teams essentially out of the MAC East title race.

Groce was happy with the effort, not happy with the mental breakdowns at the end of the first half. 6'9" 245 LBS > 6'5" 195 LBS. It's simple math.

Once they figured out how to get the ball inside to the big men, the game was over. I think their big men were 15 of 19. Kostelac had a couple of cheap ones called on him, but he he contributed to the cause with a couple of mind numbingly stupid fouls, the worst on which he fouled out. It would have been a different game with E-man and Sayles, but that could be said of many games. After that first half run where they looked so good, the rest of that game just plain hurt. The last minute of the first half was a real momentum killer.

We can pee and moan all we want about the refs, but the Zips are just playing getting out played.

Stupid foul Mark.

Amen, but that goofy haired dude can score the basketball.

Kostelac has to have taken E-man's fouls per minutes played record away.

I stomped my foot so hard it's still tingling.

Ugly start and end to the first half.

Cotton finally coming in.

Two 3 seconds calls in a college game. What's Next, calling traveling in the NBA?

Nice 21-7 run.

Nice to see Virshon just watching to start.

Nice start. Ugh.
