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.

6'2"> 5'8"

Wellllllllll............$h!+............

I think the Zips win tonight. CMU's record is overblown from playing the little sisters of the poor in OOC play. As 2-0 start in league play would sure be nice.

Many more games like the WMU game and I'll be sneaking hooch in in my pocket.

I feel as though UA Athletics is discriminating against me by not providing the opportunity to paint and drink wine before a men's game. I demand a wings and fantasy football night!

You know, I hadn't thought about that, but I do not recall seeing him.

I think Gueye will be a help too. E-man and K-lac will slide further down the bench, maybe far enough to be out of Akron.

Also, even if you don't think you have a chance at a kid because he's headed off to a more prestigious school, at least establish a relationship with him. College programs very much benefit from kids who "come home" &/or transfer after an original destination doesn't work out (e.g. Jonah Morris). UA has done this to some extent in the past, but more would be nice.

Sayles seems to do best in transition. His low post footwork is improving. He made a beautiful move in the post Saturday to go by a guy then missed a bunny. Ugh. All of our big guys could take a boxing out lesson from LCJ. I've seen a guy that small so willing to find his guy and get into him to box him out.

Welcome to the NCAA basketball transfer merry-go-round!

That's classic Mr. Pinky. Beat Vandy and Oregon State away and lose at home to a team that got thumped by Detroit Mercy and Cleveland State.

The 9-5 Zips hit the road to face the 12-2 Chippewas this Tuesday. CMU's losses have come to TCU and Weber State. They played a very unimpressive OOC schedule. They were picked to finish last in the West in the MAC pre-season poll. 6-2 senior guard Larry Austin Jr., who started at Xavier then transferred to Vanderbilt then to CMU, leads the Chipps at 19.2 ppg and 9 rpg. They also return the second, third and fourth leading scorers from last year's squad, Shawn Roundtree, David DiLeo and Kevin McKay.

WMU will not be a .500 team and the mac and we're having trouble with them.

Gotcha.

Jayden frustrates the hell out of me but at least he runs the floor well.

First team to 60 wins!

The scoreboard says flowers has two fouls.

Shot clock never started.

I think he'll come in right after McIntyre. He seems just that buried right now.

The Mason Park youth basketball 2-0 halftime game is more entertaining than that first half.

A run to a road game in the 1st round of the MAC tournament.
