Blue & Gold Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Nice article on Dru Joyce, Romeo Travis, and Jeremiah Wood still playing ball overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) Did anyone else watch any of "The Basketball Tournament," on ESPN+? Rome, Dru, Wood & Harney were on the Mid-American Unity team. They won their first game against a team named Kohl Blooded (sp?) composed of mostly Wisconsin b-ball alumni. It was considered an upset (?) but they controlled the game. They lost the second game (by 2) to a team named Red Scare made up of mostly Dayton alumni. The Magnificent Mr. Cooper was also on team Mid-American Unity and he pretty much shot Mid-American Unity out of the game. He's definitely not the same Magnificent Mr. Cooper who still haunts my dreams. Lol. Anyway, it was pretty awesome just getting to watch Romeo, Dru & Jeremiah play ball again. Love those guys. Yeah, it was nice seeing Harney again too. Man, has any Zip ever had as much potential as Harney? That is, of course, both a compliment and a critique.

zippy5 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I think if Tree didn't get himself into trouble he could have been the best Zip I've seen since getting to campus in 07 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unity could have easily won. Cooper sucked the big one and both teams were awful in the whatever they call the last part of the game.

Lol He was turning the ball over & hoisting shots from 30-feet. But unlike against the Zippers, he couldn't buy a bucket (today, nor yesterday).

ZIPS96 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Great announcers on ESPN. Instead of Nick Harney they called him Nick Haney. i think Cooper has put on a post college 50 lbs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted October 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Just ran into Jeremiah Wood at the gym. The dude is absolutely huge. Still looks strong as an ox but cut as hell. He's a legit 6-6, as I came up to about his armpit. Lol. Nice guy. We talked for about 2 minutes. (I could have visited for an hour but didn't want to interrupt his workout.) I told him that when he, Rome & Dru were on the team was my favorite era of Zips basketball. Without any prompting from me, he brought up the Doug Penno buzzer-beater & the slow-starting game clock. We commiserated. Lol. He's living in Ellet in the off-season and playing overseas. Go Zips! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
