At the end of the day, the Zips just got beat by a better team. JMU ran their offense more efficiently, shot the ball better, distributed the ball better, rebounded it better and played better defense. They were the more talented team. The Zips are a good team relative to the other teams in a conference arguably not in the top 20 conferences in the country. Are they a top 75 team, maybe. Can they make the tournament and compete early, maybe. With their shortcomings, they're still the MAC favorite and our Zips and I trust Groce and staff to work with the team they have and figure out ways to offset the shortcomings.

Congrats to JMU. They are really solid. They play hard and smart and are well coached.

10 turnovers/5 assists.

The color guy thinks Enrique is one of the best players in the conference. Ya think?

The two guys expected to do that are 1 of 9.

Dawson + Hunter = 3 points on 1 for 9 shooting

Bad switch on Green left Enrique on him and they never switched it back.

I like the extra guard coming in the for the Zips with either Dawson or Hunter going to the bench.

27% shooting/8 turnovers to 3 assists.

Thornton led the MAC in assists and is always near the top in assist to turnover ratio. His ball handing is fine. He's just not a great penetrator or very explosive, talents possessed by Tavari. It's all about timing and matchups with those two.

Well, played like **** for 3/4s of the half and only down 4. Zips really need to clean up that defense in the second half. They gave up waaaaaaaaay too many easy baskets.

LEAD!

5 turnovers/4 field goals so far.

So far, this is the hardest playing defensive opponent the Zips have seen this season along with St. Bonaventure.

Giving up too many damn easy hoops.

Greg and Ali beat on cuts in consecutive possessions.

10% shooting so far for the Zips! 😬

Sloppy start for the Zips

Or?

Houston-Cinci game still has 10 minutes left on ESPN2 at 5:48.

PCCC down 8 at Troy at half.

Game breaks out into tackle football in the last minute.

You know you're in the hills where the main scoring table sponsor is a septic company. That Gregory kid for App State looks like he's 40 and just came off of the couch for a pickup game.

Coach Tod actually drew up a nice play there.
