Zips Quiz Zips at NIU

[MDZip]

 

Sorry for being a little late still recovering from the Buffalo game. :-) Took a few things from GoZips.com for  some background and indeed the Zips last trip to DeKalb was a loss. Any post Buffalo let down in what has historically been a tough place for the Zips to play?

I like the format of question three. 

[zippy5]

I think we shoot like crap like we normally do there and grind out a win through Big Dog.

I'm expecting a big game out of both Antino and Ivey. NIU is a great defensive team so I went under on the 3P%.

Expecting a tight one.

 

Danger, Will Robinson.

That's been the theme of the season since MAC play started. I'd expect nothing less.

NIU is a house of horrors for the Zips. Huge, really nice, completely empty arena makes shooting sight-lines difficult.

Dang if we would have missed one more three and I would have won . . . but then the game would be in OT, so I will take my loss ahead of the Zips.

The Zips won a thrilling game on the road. We are all winners!!!

[MDZip]

Whew that was a "fun" one.  As long as the majority of the people are right on question one who cares about the other ones? :-) 8 Quiz winners tonight, MDZip finally gets his own right plus Joe Akron (nice to see he's finally paying attention), AK-Rowdy4Life, tboned, bigzipguy, Blue & Gold and ZIPSMOM2 who has a right to be more to be proud of than any of us.   They were close questions, Zips were 11-28 on threes for 39.3% for the over, and the crew of Cheatham (9), Jackson (game high 22) and Ivey (6) narrowly edged out Big Dog (21), Williams (3) and Robotham (10), 37 to 34. And did anyone get my play on words on question one, Fat Pants Sizes (Huskies)? Bueller? Anyone? Keep rolling Zips!

And if we had lost we'd never hear from him again.

oh Ye of little faith.

 

Joe and the Zips are of one mind, one soul, one being.

 

OK, so I watched a little too much of "The Young Pope" ..
