I see YSU is on the schedule but not right off the bat. Suffered from Head Coach turnover and lack of fan support. Only Senderoff at KSU remains from the coaches that originally agreed to the annual event. Each team agreed to host it once which has occurred. Attendance never measured up to other Coaches for Cancer events around the country. It never raised much money for the cancer society compared to the effort they put into the event. I personally liked the event, attended all of the events and volunteered for several years to sell tickets. It just never caught the interest of the fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJGood Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Any word on how to watch the Zips games in DC if you can't attend in person? Those are the type of games I look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) 22 days until the opening game. I expect to see a starting lineup of LCJ, Cheese, Banks, X and Riak, with Reece, Roscoe, Tribble and Sayles contributing from the bench. I think we could also see a conventional two guard, one center and two forwards lineup with Reece and X on the floor together with another big as X can play away from the basket and has a decent 3 point shot. I hope Tribble can be effective as the backup point rather than having Cheese there out of necessity. I'm very eager to see this team with hopes it can continue to improve. They went from 14 wins to 17 last year. Here's hoping the improvement continues to a 20 win year. These are all Groce's kids now, so we'd better see the fruits of his recruiting labor.

UMASS will also be a solid game, strictly due to the A10 status - confidence booster if you win. The MAC is wide open this year, but we also need to keep in mind - Groce is a March-first coach. If we don't peak early, don't be surprised. We'll be ready for when the season actually matters. I love the depth of this team. These are Groce's guys. I'm excited.

kreed5120 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 We were in just about every one of those road losses last season. We just seemed to press too much at the end of the games and didn't close them out. We should be relying on a lot of juniors and seniors this season so hopefully they will be better adapt to performing under pressure. We'll soon find out.

kreed5120 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I'm operating under the assumption that all the conference games that aren't on cable with for the most part be on ESPN+. I'll be disappointed if that doesn't end up being the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a school dripping in red ink, I was a bit surprised by the high quality of the ticket package. Thick card stock, high gloss, spiral bound, perferated, and die cut (parking passes). How much did that cost?? And my GA ticket is only $60! BTW, already used my City BBQ coupon from the package. EXCELLENT BBQ!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
