Nope, not listed anywhere in their stats.

For some reason, I'm a little worried about this one. Hope I am wrong. Our years old inability to stop penetration by quick guards has me worried. It should be a little of a contrast of styles with Marshall pushing the ball and chucking up shots while the Zips run a more deliberate structured offense.

Interesting story, especially in that he started at YSU. A much better story than the one I read about the WMU guard charged with murder.

Another reality sometimes is that a kid doesn't want to stay home to play. College for many is a chance to venture out into the big world. In that instance, a kid might choose an equal or program for a chance to go away.

Next time you watch it, pay attention to the guys on the Nets' bench. Hilarious.

I read the rules. They permit homophones!

Marshall Mathers-

Marshall Matt Dillon. I'm showing my age.

There is always the "old fashioned" way of accepting the call and keeping your mouth shut.

Wow GK4Herd, I wish we could get a preview from our opponents like that for every game. Thanks!

I recall the FW coach on EPSN in the post-game thanking Tom Crean for being willing to play the game at FW.

The Thundering Herd comes into the JAR on Saturday 12/17. This could be a very important OOC game. It will also be a good barometer as to development of the team and a strong test going into the holiday tournament and MAC play.

Soooo, ummmmmm, the Zips lost to the #8 team in the country and our take away thought is that they will never win a tournament game under Dambrot. Allrighty then...

I don't know how Poke will develop where he is or will be offensively, but on the most basic level I just like that he looks like he's trying so damn hard all of the time. In a world of lesser efforts, I love seeing an "all out guy." I think that's what's getting on the floor ahead of some other more talented guys, like Utomi.

Gotcha, I just use Poke to shorten his name (as opposed to butchering it).

Good and bad tonight. Way too many turnovers. Ivey is so much more under control this year and it is really showing on the floor. Keith was really on Dunn-Martin in the first half, but the kid bounced back which is promising. Poke continues to play hard and impressively, especially on defense. The refs were out of control with the whistles and both teams were in the bonus very early. Interesting note- Coppin State hasn't won an out of conference road game since December of 2013! Who knows what the plan was with the t-shirts. I've been a season ticket holder for 5 or 6 seasons and have 2 shirts, one of which I picked up last week. The only time I saw them tonight was when the president and some kids were walking around and giving them to people.

My favorite George quote from the article- "UA’s opening loss to Youngstown State should serve as a cautionary tale for a team that has a tendency to play to the level of its competition." I wonder if Radford and Adrian agree. Dear George- just give me the facts on what happened in the game, etc., and spare me the "insights" and opinions.

Joe Jakubick leads the nation in scoring in 83-84. 1986- Huggins leads a group of overachievers to Akron's first NCAA tourney where they give Michigan a run for their money.

I'm just hoping it's as exciting as the rubber duck toss. Toilet paper on the Coppin State game somehow seems...appropriate. I wouldn't want to be in the first few rows.

0-10 Coppin State comes to the JAR Wednesday night to face the Zips. In their ten losses are losses to Georgetown, Clemson, BYU, Valparaiso and Utah. They lost by only 2 to Ball State. Pretty solid OOC schedule so far. Leading scorer is 6-5 G/F Josh Treadwell at 10.3 per game. The team averages 57 points a game and has given up nearly 84 per game. The anticipation for this game should reach a fevered pitch by tip-off Wednesday night.

When the Zips lose games likes this, it imperils their chances of getting into the ACC (sorry, just resurrecting a ridiculous conversation from last year). The loss was about what I expected. I'd much rather see them with a road loss to Creighton than a home win against Adrian. It certainly prepares them better for the rest of the season.

Exactly. I think he has much more offensive talent than Poke, but I think his defense, which is primarily grit and effort, is getting Poke on the floor ahead of him.

I was surprised by the crowd when I got there about 12 or 13 minutes before the game. I think 3 to 5 people entered after me. I would say it was the largest crowd for an Adrian game this year as their crowds have been 1009 (at Detroit), 245, 0, 575 and 334 according to their website..

I can't imagine there were 3K there. There were a few students in the upper ends. No band tonight. The AKRowdies are a non-factor so far this year.
