clarkwgriswold Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 The 9-6 Zips visit the 9-6 Huskies this weekend in lovely DeKalb, Illinois. DeKalb is home to the annual Corn Fest which is usually held in late August. The town is named after Baron Johann de Kalb, a major general in the American Revolutionary War. The Huskies are 2-0 in the MAC having beaten OU and Miami. They are led by 6 foot junior guard Eugene German (one of the least athletic names I've ever heard) at 20.7 ppg. 6-9 senior forward James Lacey leads rebounding at 7.3 rpg. The Huskies average 79.6 ppg and give up 72.7 ppg. Coach Mark Montgomery has led the Huskies since 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thank you, Clark . I was about to tag you in the CMU thread asking you to create the NIU thread. The way we finished down the stretch was flat out disgusting. I want to move on and look ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always happy to do it and ALWAYS eager to move on after a tough one. I damn near created the Tennessee State thread before the Marshall game was over! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm still reeling from the CMU loss. Was looking forward to having that 2-0 cushion prior to landing in deKalb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Does anyone know if we're busing to the game or did we charter a flight like we have sometimes done in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewbrooman1 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 For those looking for Khadim Gueye, his name has now disappeared from the roster on the first page of tomorrow's game notes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 In an interview a week or two ago I’m pretty sure Groce said they were flying. FWIW, Khadim Gueye is still listed on the GoZips dot com roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since others have said he has not been on the sidelines lately. Then again his name was last in the roster box, maybe it dropped off the bottom of the page.

Z.I.P. Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 This I consider a MUST WIN if the team is to finish above .500 in MAC play. Based on win probability we need a split of this first set of road games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'm so bummed. I have had this game circled as early as last year because NIU is here in my back yard. And now I can't go, Ugh!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the severity of the attack he is lucky to be charged only with Assault and not Felonious Assault. Does a transfer student who is sitting out practice with the team? I wonder if something happened at practice that precipitated the attack. I do not think that you would punch another player for no reason.

In short, good riddance. No room for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZipsVoice Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 K-Lac was unconscious and they let him drive himself to MAYFIELD to a hospital? Where the hell are the trainers, coaches...you treat this almost like a concussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark or maybe the University probably didn't want him to face automatic deportation and asked that he not be charged with a felony. (that is total speculation on my part). However, considering Mark is the victim, he likely he had a say in the charges. What a sad situation. Regarding the drive to the hospital, there is probably more to that aspect than is written in that article. The police report also may have mischaracterized what happened. Maybe someone else drove him. Edited January 12, 2019 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Results so far do not give me much faith in the health of this program under Groce. We will now have lost both of his key transfers before they set foot on the court. I hope he proves me wrong, but I am not feeling optimistic.

What makes this guy a key transfer anymore than say a Riak or LCJ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
