clarkwgriswold Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 The Huskies come to Akron Saturday as the second game of a doubleheader with the women's team. The Huskies are 11-8 overall and 4-2 in the MAC. They have wins over OU, Miami, the Zips and Buffalo, with losses to Central and PCCC. As you will recall, the Zips took a huge dump in DeKalb going from a 34-25 halftime lead to a 73-56 loss. Huskies' scoring is led by 6 foot junior guard Eugene German's 20.6 ppg while 6'9" senior forward Lacey James leads rebounding at 7 rpg. The Huskies will be feeling their oats coming off of their upset of #14 Buffalo last night. 2 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Excited for this one too! Go Zips!! 1 Quote
kreed5120 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 This is an important game. With a win we'd slide into some sort of tie for at least 4th place and a pretty good chance at 3rd considering the Flushes play Buffalo who will be extra motivated coming off a loss. The MAC is a cluster $%@* this year. Who would have guessed through 6 games Bowling Green would be in sole possession of 1st place? Quote

Also, Zips need to win against all 4 directional schools. Quote

Hawkins and Saul on the way out? MAC East is dominant again. Almost need Buffalo to wipe out the MAC East except for us of course. Will really help with seeding Quote

Saul is in the last year of his contract so unless an unexpected turnaround these next 2 months I'd say he's definitely gone. Hawkins has 1 year left on his deal after this season. Whether he stays or goes depends on if WMU wants to be cheap or not. Quote

Illini Zip Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Utomi's bounce back game? I think so. Quote
Hilltopper Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 I have 4 lower level reserved seats for this game that I can't use. Directly across from the Zips bench. $40 for all 4 tickets plus a reserved parking space in lot #2. Send me a PM if interested. Quote

Nice guy but his model of the type of player needed to win in the MAC couldn't be more wrong. Slow, white, cerebral players are getting crushed by pure athletes. Huge miss on the part of Ohio's AD, and he knows it. Quote

I know the board talked some about not expect TB to be able to recruit *if* he were going into the last year of his contract. Curious if it plays out in reality as you'd think it would in theory.

clarkwgriswold Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Posted January 26, 2019 Woohoo, body flags today! (What the hell's a body flag? I'd like a XXL please.) Quote
VAZip Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) The Zips have never been “too far”, so you’re correct. I think the point was this team suffers from 3 point shooting. Those two were fairly solid. Let’s hope our current roster shoots lights out today! Edited January 26, 2019 by VAZip Spelling Quote

Reggie and Jake were great assets to the team, but they went into slumps as well (Jake especially). The key is to slump at the right time. Quote

I had to Google that too, which didn't bring up an obvious example. Again, why do they wait until game day to promote this? Quote
kreed5120 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 I'm guessing it's one of those flags people wear like a cape. Just pure speculation. 1 Quote
dirtyolcrowe Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 they need a run! that is only way to generate interest. Parking sucks and is BS for $10. I'm OK with concessions but what about apparel? an ice cream truck is bigger then our team shop! yeah...t-shirt give aways are cool. but who wants to wear a t-shirt when its 4 degrees out side and you have to walk 500 yds to get to the arena?? get some threads in there. set up a little shop upstairs too, like the consessions. Someone mentioned giving tickets to area youth basketball programs. That is an outstanding idea! Hell...have them gather at their rec center and pick em up in a Zips van...like they are part of the team and then drop them off! How cool would that be?? you could have them feel like part of the team. give them a couple of trinkets. bottom...we need to win, hopefully its in March......Go Zips! 1 Quote
