If Wyoming and UAB would have been in UMASS kind of form...

Their long snapper for punts also leads the league in snaps.

It was certainly encouraging after a rough first half. On the other hand, South Alabama was predicted to be the 14th of 14 teams in the Sun Belt preseason poll.

Yikes. The aggression they lacked against PCCC and Buffalo apparently finally came out.

From the presser, it sound like it is a fluid situation (14 minute mark)-

Here's the presser where he mentions it at about the 14 minute mark-

Cody Head is redshirting.

Cody Head is redshirting along with the freshmen. It could potentially be pulled down the line but it is the plan for now.

A 14 point homer?

The Princeton Tigers visit the JAR this Saturday to start their season. The Tigers were favored to win the Ivy League last year but fell far short of expectations resulting in many roster and coaching staff changes. Usually picked in the preseason to be at the top of the Ivy League, this year's preseason poll picked them to come in 4th. As you may recall, the Zips got hosed at Princeton last season after it took the officials seven minutes to reverse their call and give the Tigers a 3 pointer to win the game rather than the two pointer called on the floor. Here are some articles with previews for the Tigers- https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2025/08/princeton-sports-news-mens-basketball-summer-review-2025-season-preview https://www.midmajormadness.com/ivy-league/31297/2025-26-ivy-league-preview

Hell of a second half. Shammah just keeps getting better and better.

PCCC lets down the conference. 🤣

It was pretty obvious but he doesn't need to help. LOL.

JMU goes zone.

1-3-1 out of the timeout.

Time to shake off this funk and go on a run.

39-30 half

This is looking like the continuation of the YSU scrimmage.

Zips again giving up too many good looks at 3s.

I think I just saw Joe Akron.

19-18. 7:20. Both teams struggling on offense.

Marv still hustling. No Barre yet. Cody Head still not suited up.

15-7 Zips, 12 minutes left in half. Zips went zone in an inbounds, then transitioned into man once the ball was in. Nice new wrinkle.

Game went from 5-0 JMU to 9-5 Zips.
