Akron1 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 Torrey Patton is transferring to West Virginia State according to Verbal Commits. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 As a point of reference, WVSU lost to our old friends the Concord Grapes. DII school, also plays Notre Dame College. Seems about right. I wish the kid luck. I don't think there was a place for him in the Zips' future, but the kid always seemed to have a good attitude and played hard. 1 Quote
LZIp Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 So if my memory serves me correct, we had 3 scholly players leave this year. One went JUCO, one went low major, and one went DII. I liked these guys, but it seems like them moving on was the right move for all parties involved. 2 Quote

Blue & Gold Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 This surprises me. Good for Torrey! Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 Good luck Torrey. The kid always played hard. Quote
zvillezip Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 Good young man. Wish him the best and max success. Quote
The Hip Zip Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 Torrey is doing a lot of good things for much improved Cleveland State this season. probably going to have a double-double tonight Quote

This weekend CSU plays at Wright State with the game on ESPNU; what is the over/under on how many times the announcers mention he transferred from Akron? Quote

It wasn't a prediction, just an observation as I was watching the game. Regardless, he came up mighty big for the Vikes. The guy has a certain toughness to him that seems to be lacking in our Zips Quote
kreed5120 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 Glad to see CSU is doing well this season. Maybe Dennis Gates can help turn the program into something that makes those Akron-CSU games worth watching. 1 Quote

Congrats to Patton on CSU working out for him. I don't think he'd have had that much opportunity or success with the Zips but I certainly appreciated his effort in Groce's first year. 1 Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 I can't wait until he becomes the first Grad Transfer to transfer back to his original school!?? Quote

The Hip Zip Posted January 16, 2021 Report Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) CSU stamps themselves as legitimate Horizon contenders with their nice road win in Dayton. Patton had 17 pts. with 8 boards and 3 steals. Edited January 16, 2021 by The Hip Zip stats Quote

Offsetting CSUs last second two-point victory on Friday was an 85 - 49 drubbing on Saturday with Patton kicking in 12 rebounds and 2 points. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 I watched some of the CSU/UWM game last night. What a crapfest. CSU was up 23-2 and ended up behind at the start of the 3rd quarter giving up a huge run. UWM then didn't score in the last 7 minutes. Some awful basketball. Patton had 13 points and 6 rebounds. He seems like a good kid and I appreciate how he played hard in a down year for the Zips but he'd see little or no time on the Zips as currently constructed. Oddly, in this weird Covid year the teams play again tonight, also at CSU. Their entire schedule is like that, playing two games in two days against the same Horizon opponent in the same arena. Quote

I prefer 4 quarters to 2 halves; gives the teams an extra timeout & 2 more chances per game for fun & momentum-swinging buzzer-beaters. P.s. I’m not trying be a smart ass, I know the NCAA was tossing around the possibility of going w/ 4 quarters & maybe this strange COVID year is giving conferences some flexibility?

Yes, but for the second game of each mini-series the visiting team gets to pretend they are the home team wearing their home uniforms while the host team wears their away uniforms. Somebody must have had a really good reason to decide that's the way they were going to do this, but the only possibility I can think of is so the teams don't have to play in uniforms that stink right from the start of the second game.
