clarkwgriswold Posted November 25, 2019 Report Posted November 25, 2019 The 4-2 Zips welcome the 5-3 Merrimack Warriors into the JAR the day after Thanksgiving. Merrimack, after having some success in DII, is in their first year of D1. The highlight of their season appears to be a 71-61 win over Northwestern at Evanston. The rest of their wins appear to be against pretty pedestrian teams. 6-4 senior guard Jaleel Lord leads the Warriors at 11.9 ppg, while 6 foot guard Juvaris Hayes leads rebounding at 5.9 rpg. Here's a nice preview of the Warriors from the Merrimack website- https://merrimackathletics.com/news/2019/11/5/2019-20-mens-basketball-season-preview.aspx I am out of town next week so I expect all of you to take over screaming important directions to the refs, coaches and players so that they don't miss me.

RowdyZip Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 Can someone clarify for me? The Black Friday sale is a $75 GA seat. Weren't those $60 prior to the season? Quote

Four fewer games for $15 more......but you do get that fancy duffle bag (the same one you would get for the $60). Quote

Just better prices for buying earlier, but the 4 fewer games is certainly something to consider. Quote

Duffel bags are at the table to the left when you walk in for all season ticket holders. You just have to go give them your name. Agreed it wasn’t well publicized. Quote
GJGood Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 Why does this game scare me? An opponent that already has three road wins, including one against a Big Ten squad, and the Zips coming off a big top 5 test. This feels like a major trap game. Quote
akronzips71 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 They have a nice schedule: https://merrimackathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule Quote

There was apparently some sort of left-hand-not-talking-to-the-right-hand when I changed my address. Thanks! Quote
NWAkron Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 Wonder if Groce scheduled Merrimack specifically because they play the 2-3 zone 1 Quote
NWAkron Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 How bad Riak is stands out with Reece and Williams on the team. Groce benched him after 3 negative possessions Quote
NWAkron Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 'Mack 0-13 from 3s. Only 2 foul shots both from Akron on "and ones." 'Mack still looks dangerous. Type of team that could get hot and make a late run. Quote
Illini Zip Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 Keep going @NWAkron You are my eyes. I’m listening to French again tonight. Where is everyone tonight? Quote
NWAkron Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) As expected, 'Mack is stepping up. Groce called good timeout. Mack is disrupting the flow. Cheese is the Man. Reece back in. Fresh legs. Then gets cheap foul Edited November 30, 2019 by NWAkron Quote

NWAkron Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Refs calling everything now. This is like an Eastern Michigan game. Very frustrating to watch. Zips are cold. Reese has 4 fouls. Edited November 30, 2019 by NWAkron Quote
NWAkron Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Their coach is like a Charlie Cole disciple. Calls time outs before the media timeout.. Slows game down. Disrupts the flow. This is a mess. Score board broken. Edited November 30, 2019 by NWAkron Quote
Illini Zip Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 French said Zips with 16 turnovers. Do they look sloppy out there? Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 Sounds like it was a rough game with a good close out to win by a solid 17 over a team that has a lot of fight and zero fear with it being their first DI season. Quote

Seems like a lot of folks stayed home to listen to Frenchy....Attendance was reported as 2,028 which is the lowest in at least the last few seasons (which is as far back as I looked before giving up trying to find a lower attendance) Tells me that the season ticket base has shrunk considerably, since those are mainly the only people going to a game like this.

They were type of team that could cause a big scare in 1st round of NCAA. Hard game to watch but Zips never trailed and kept it over 10 vast majority of game. Xeriyius is a E-Sports Commentator?
