I think we all remember after the final game last year he said that the game wasn't that important, etc, even though he looked like he was trying very hard to win.

ZIPS96 Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Sorry update Eastern Michigan AD Scott Wetherbee told @Stadium that he intends to meet with coach Rob Murphy in the coming days, that he hasn’t made a final decision on Murphy’s future yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob seems like a good guy but his formula isn't working. That style of play won't put any butts in the empty arena in Ypsilanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'm kind of surprised to see both EMU and NIU make coaching changes during the pandemic. Neither program has invested much into their basketball programs in a long while so one would think they would try to keep costs down.

Mark Montgomery was also in his 10th year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with the first team selections. I think it is telling that the Zips don't have anyone on the second or third teams with only Trimble making honorable mention.

The only team in the top six that had only one selection in the first through third teams. Where would we be without LCJ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I don't really disagree with any of the MAC awards other than Freeman not being All-MAC. That is absurd. But all I care about is winning Thursday so hopefully it's motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Comparing LCJ to Marreon, LCJ scored 4.2 ppg more than Jackson. Their assist and turonver numbers are essentially equal, but Jackson averaged 3.3 more rpg. In the end, if the Zips win the MAC regular season, LCJ might have had a chance to repeat.

monrowe Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Enrique Freeman, is better than Josh Mballa. Jayvon Graves should have been a first team pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIPS96 Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I’ll be happy with LCJ winning MAC Tournament MVP & Freeman making all tournament team. I think LCJ will play with a bigger chip on his shoulder now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman sort of gets screwed. He is not on the all freshman team because he is a soph. BUT He played all of 5 minutes last season, he really is a freshman. AND he is the best defensive player in the MAC. By the numbers! Should have been all conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJGood Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 What postseason opportunities will the MAC see? We know 1 team will be in the NCAA and we know Toledo will be in the NIT should they not win the title in Cleveland but what about the other teams? Can someone else make the NIT? Is there even a CBI being played this year? I think I heard the CiT was cancelled. If the Zips do not win the MAC tourney, should they accept a postseason bid to something other than the NCAA?

The NIT is only inviting 16 teams. Runner up may not get the call even if it is Toledo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCAA or bust. With the number of programs hurting financially after this college sports year, the CBI, CIT, etc., where you have to fork over some cash to host or travel, don't make sense at all. NIT field is halved (ridiculous, by the way) to boot. Outside of the Zips, I haven't watched a lick of college basketball this year. Without the atmosphere, it loses its luster with me. I'm most likely going to be picking my bracket based on if I like the mascot or the primary color. These are typically the brackets that do well, though, right?

LoyalZIP Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 There's a theory on the Kent board that a "season ticket holder" heard Pippen punched Hamilton and that's why neither of them went to Buffalo last week. Amazing if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Dukie is out with a positive Corona test. Just over a year ago a positive test brought the NBA to a halt. Hopefully the NCAA has a better handle on things, knowing what we know now about COVID and sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
