The refs tried to make a really good basketball match up suck, and they came close. But at the end of the night even f-ing whistle-happy refs couldn't spoil Reggie McAdams Night. He and Big Dog were fun to watch. The other guys chipped in sufficiently at critical times to pull off the win.

EMU is finally good competition. They look like a real basketball team now. Nice, tough guards. Glad to see they're climbing out of a decade-plus abyss.

Ivey and "Ace" continue to swing and miss at their opportunities to get more PT. If either can hit free throws and defend, dramatically increased PT is the reward. I'd love to see one of them step up.

Kwan doesn't look like "the most the NBA-Ready Zip" I heard touted earlier this year. What happened to the Kwan I saw back in November?

Not a perfect game, but the Zips showed spunk and tenacity for the first time in a while. It was nice to not see us get out-worked,

Looking forward to the Purple-out Saturday. Hope to see a big crowd.

How full was the JAR Cupcake Factory? I looked online today for tickets to the game tonight and there were no lower bowl seats available and only 33 seats available in the upper reserved.

I call BS on that.

There are never lower bowl seats available, they're all sold to season ticket holders. As for the upper bowl, I don't know.

I think the attendance was 2300. The upper stands were not as full as the last few games. However, they did have refreshments on the upper level and they did have some baton girls do a very good half time performance.

I agree that we played much better tonight than the last 2 games. The players were hustling and we were not outworked. KD did a great job attacking the zone. It was a weird zone in that once you got the ball into the middle of the zone near the foul line, it was basically man on man. They could not control Big Dog and Pat underneath. Kwan did not look good against the zone although he played good defense.

I thought we played good defense even though we gave up 88 points. A lot of their 3 point shots we had a hand in their face but they still made the shots. Eastern shot the ball well. I was surprised that when we were leading by 7 points with a little over a minute left they stayed in their zone. They let us run out the clock. I still do not understand why Anitno and Robotham pressure the ball 40-50 feet from the basket. They are right in the defender's face but then they get beat on the dribble drive. I still think the defense by our guards was very good tonight.

The refs were bad. The first half the play was very physical and no whistle. Late in the second half they were calling touch fouls. It was bad for both teams. I think we shot 50% from the 3 line and that will win us many game. Reggie was amazing. Lets hope the hot shooting continues on Sat.

That's not true because one week ago I got a call saying that if I bought 3 MAC games, I could have all 3 games in the lower bowl.

I got an email about it but it just said reserve,not lower level. I just know I've never seen any available on ticketmaster leading up to a game.
