The other Kent kids seemed pretty well behaved. 2 of them were having a nice conversation after the game with Groce. I guess if I was 7 feet tall and 260 and couldn't be successful against the team with the fewest bigs in the MAC and couldn't take advantage of guards on switches, I'd get a little testy too.

Yes. LOL. FIxed.

Some quick observations: 1) The refs and the Kent staff should be embarrassed by what went down with DeLaRosa. He should have been T'd up AND removed from the bench. He was trying to stir up things from the bench and then went off in the line at the end. No room for that conduct. Funny how he stirs things up with guys like Cotton and Parrish. 2) Atrocious foul shooting from the Zips. 3) Nice leadership from the Zips vets. 4) Nice job with the Canadian National Anthem for Duvivier. 5) I've coached 5th graders with ADHD that had more on court awareness than K-lac. I like the kid, but.....ugh. 6) Mr. Pinky does less with more than any coach in the MAC. 7) Kudos to all of the kids on the floor except DeLaRosa for not getting caught up the emotion. 8) GREAT WIN TO END THE SEASON!

How does K-lac get a T and not Delarosa?

Adonis has taken over for Jimmy Hall on the irritating Flushes scale.

Poor showing by the expensive seats tonight. Too many empties for a rivalry game.

K-lac would head fake on a breakaway.

Somebody needs to buy Mr. Pinky a tie.

Aggravating to see a visiting team with a better student section than any students section the Zips have had all year.

Adonis should be required to give up his name with that body type.

Ivey with 2 and K-lac with 2 mind numbingly bad fouls already.

Good crowd, but not for PCCC game.

Nice early crowd. Good luck to both teams. Ahhhhh, screw that. Go Zips, thump the flushes!

Eastern has decided to send an Uber for NW in honor of it's first out of town fan.

To me, to quote the renowned philosopher Dennis Green, "they are who we thought they were." All in all, there were a couple who did not develop as I'd hoped, but no one who made huge strides or surprised me.

I'm feeling a big game from an unexpected source tonight, maybe Virshon or Parrish. I'm also curious to see the crowd. Will the rivalry get people out or will the teams' "down" years impact the interest?

It will be very interesting to see the roster going into the first game next year. The nature of D1 basketball indicated we'll lose a scholarship player or two between now and then. Let's hope it's not someone that would really hurt.

Domesticated parakeets in cages Skip, domesticated parakeets. Just think what we'd miss if our beat writer cared Skip. We wouldn't have Pulitzer quality work like his article of this morning recounting a Johhny Manziel interview on an Uninterrupted podcast.

The Headline for the Zips/Canada game read "Buffalo routs Zips for No. 1 seed in MAC". That rag has gotten so bad NEO parakeets are refusing to crap on it.

Let's just hope to play beyond Monday night. I'm not expecting a run, but every game these kids get to play is a bonus heading into next season.

Maybe this is a preview to Monday night.

Good stuff Captain!

UA needs to be careful in complaining about Mayborg. They don't need a complaint about discriminating against the blind.

So glad to see "Mr. Pinky" has stuck! I contribute so little to the world.
