Can the Zips please stop having the shortest guy on the court try to throw the ball in on out of bounds plays? I have never seen a team struggle with it as much as this team. Its always Sharron or Tavari and they are just not able to see the floor over the defender.

I think this is exactly how I see it as well

He is not the kicker that missed the kicks. He is the backup to the kicker that missed the kicks. I know Michael and he is a good kid, definitely not a great kicker though.

Zips play at BG on Friday

Groce pissed off on the radio right now

Groce just said on the radio that they believe it is only a sprain and he should be back soon.

There is a strong argument that he has been the best player on the court tonight. Him and Lyles, another player that is constantly talked poorly of on here.

damn. what a shot Never mind! doesn't count!

Ford for ASU is one of the best driving guards i have seen in a while. He gets to the rim in a flash and finishes really well.

What a cut by Young! He is impressive!

Zips are making good drives and taking good shots for the most part. Just need to start making more of them. Too many missed 3s early.

He said in the post game that he was trying to call a time out as the foul occurred. He just wanted the ball in the front court first.

He had 32 against OU last season

Zips starting to really struggle on offense again

ok Tavari!

Enrique and Ali both showed up to play. Everybody else doesn't seem to even know where they are right now.

Toledo is living up to their history so far. Only 24 points in the first half and down by 4. If Santiago/Sullinger would pass the ball, Kent would probably be up by a good amount more.

I think this is truly the first time all year that it looks like the Zips aren't even trying. A lot of standing around and watching. What is happening?

Its a new rule this season. The refs handled it completely correctly according to the rules. They are supposed to check it at the next media TO. Look at the 2nd bullet point at the bottom of this article: https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/ncaa-approves-change-to-determining-block-or-charge-calls-and-other-rule-modifications-for-upcoming-season/

These refs are unbelievable. Letting so many egregious fouls go, then calling the smallest touches. The terrible calls are going both ways at least.

he has 4 fouls

Zips really need to stop leaving good shooters open trying to sneak in and get backside steals. Kent was missing them early, but not so much anymore.

You still can't add transfers mid-season except for some pretty crazy exceptions (I can't think of any, but you never know), so I'm not sure what nil has to do with improving this team, this year. As you said, Groce has been very active in the portal, so again, I'm not sure why you think the Zips aren't doing their best to get the best players they can into the team. It just didn't line up right for us to get a top tier big this past off season, you can say that it was a problem, and I would have liked to see another post that as well, but I am happy with the additions we made instead.

I don't know, a lot of us on here are always complaining about the lack of attention that our program receives, so I refuse to hate on this kind of article. Yeah, it puts unneeded pressure/expectations on the team, but this is also the kind of thing that can draw out the "Joe Akrons" that claim they won't support the Zips because they aren't really relevant. Articles like this are what the "big programs" get all the time. Baby steps, but it seems like our program has made a bit of progress this season. Between the extra press I've seen the Zips get both from the ABJ/random national press on social media and getting selected for multiple games on ESPN2, there is a different feel in my opinion. Hopefully UA can build on this in terms of keeping momentum in getting better talent and increasing attendance.
