Awful transition defense. Ali with the ole.

Some iffy play + Nate back = 3 minutes for Tavari.

Some PCCC level math here. Each team has 5 players. If two defenders are on one offensive player, SOMEONE IS OPEN.

Turnovers, poor rebounding, ugly shots and you end up with a tie game.

Ugly couple of minutes.

I don't think I can forgive the play-by-play guy for that tie and sports coat combo.

They didn't do it to start the game Now they seem to have a guy laying in wait to have him put the ball on the floor then they cut off the diagonal pass to the other wing.

Enrique!

I wish Dawson and Hunter would take on some of Nate's aggression with the ball.

Zips switching everything on defense.

Lazy awful pass by Tavari.

Tavari the last guard in on the rotation tonight.

Sammy has no idea what to do with a 10 foot open shot. LOL.

They're forcing the Zips into a lot of switches that are putting Enrique on the perimeter.

Gonna be one of those MAC officiating nights.

Nate in.

Here's hoping they keep Clayton on Freeman without help.

Fresh off of getting booted out of Oklahoma State for beating his girlfriend. He could have taken Treadwell's place on campus as campus assaulter.

Couldn't agree more. The new guy was hamstrung by what he walked into. They'll be back in time.

The list of MAC teams that have decent football AND basketball programs is pretty short. UMass is not ever going back to the Calipari/Camby days but they'll hold up their end of MAC basketball and compete on a higher level than the directionals that have essentially given up on basketball.

I have an @NWAkron level sense of dread about this one. 😟

Mike Beaven getting assigned to the Zips has been a real blessing.

Payton was on the PRE-season team selected by the coaches. He's obviously played himself out of it.

To stir up some conversation, as the 2023-24 regular season winds down, who are the members of your 23-24 All-MAC Team? Give us your first team, POY and COY. As a reminder the preseason team was: First Team Ali Ali, Guard, Akron, Sr. Enrique Freeman, Forward, Akron, Sr. Chris Payton, Forward, Kent State, Grad. Jaylin Hunter, Guard, Ohio, Sr. Dante Maddox Jr., Guard, Toledo, Jr. Second Team Tyson Acuff, Guard, Eastern Michigan, Jr. Jalen Sullinger, Guard, Kent State, Jr. Anderson Mirambeaux, Center, Miami, Sr. David Coit, Guard, Northern Illinois, Jr. AJ Brown, Guard, Ohio, So. From what I have seen so far, my All-MAC team would be: Enrique Freeman- Akron Basheer Jihad- Ball State Tyson Acuff- Eastern Michigan Marcus Hill- Bowling Green Jaylin Hunter- OU POY- Freeman COY- Groce
