clarkwgriswold Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 The Zips head into Toledo Friday night to take on the 8-6 Rockets. The Rockets finished last season 17-17 and 9-9 in the MAC. Gone from last year’s squad are three starters that all made significant contributions. Senior G/F Colorado transfer Tre’Shaun Fletcher leads the 2017-18 Rockets in scoring (18.1 ppg), rebounding (8.4 rpg) and assists (3.6 apg). The Rockets also have West Division Preseason All-MAC guard Jaelan Sanford who averages 16.1 ppg. The Rockets were predicted to finish 3rd in the West in the MAC Preseason Poll. Quote

zipfan84 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Need to play the whole game as hard as the 2nd half against WMU. Need a road win badly! Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Posted January 5, 2018 The Zips are in for a long season on the road. I'm afraid the misery continues tonight. Quote

UAZippers Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 The key for tonight is how well the Zips contain Willie Jackson, a guy who, if I'm remembering correctly, barely chose Missouri over the Zips out of high school and was rumored to be transferring to Akron before ultimately ending up at Toledo. The rockets were not a very good team before he became eligible a few weeks ago, but have been on a tear since he joined the starting lineup. Quote

That's quite a trio when you add Jackson to Fletcher and Sanford. Quote
NWAkron Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Since everything is topsy turvy I'm going with the Zips tonight only because we usually tank against Toledo much like we usually won against WMU. Excitement is Building! Edited January 5, 2018 by NWAkron Quote
Illini Zip Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Yep, I'm feeling that excitement building over here. And I get to watch them from my comfy chair in front of the TV. Let's go Zips!!!! Quote
1981 grad Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Zips are boxing out and keeping Toledo off the boards. Really like what I am seeing. Looks like they are playing exclusive zone. Keeping with Toledo in the early going. Poke has 2 early fouls. Refs are calling it close. Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Utomi may go for 30 tonight. Quote
