clarkwgriswold Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) At long last our beloved Zip cagers open the 2020-2021 season this Saturday against the might Yellow Jackets of Cedarville University. The Yellow Jackets were 18-11 last year and compete in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. While clearly a tune-up game, it will be nice to see the Zips in action and get a sense of what we have in the new faces.

blueandgold Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Right now, I don't care who we are playing. I just want some Zips basketball! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 My son is a college Sophomore. If his circle of friends is indicative of the basketball team, most of the Zips players have already had covid. My son was tested before he came home, and got a clean bill of health. But most of his friends have had it within the past two months. All are ok. It would be interesting to know how many college athletes have had it by now. The number could be 50%, or higher?

Much higher. Hopefully your son's friends didn't have to be quarantined for two weeks in their dorm rooms like prisoners.

Blue & Gold Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I don’t think this game is listed as being on on ESPN+. Anyone know if this is being televised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 The Cedarville game is not going to be televised. Audio will be broadcast on 99.7 (a Canton country station). The St. Bonny game will air on ESPN+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipinnc Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Anyone have thoughts on today's line-up? I think we start with Jackson, Tribble, Dailey, Marshall and Reece. We should see plenty of Trimble and Currie (out of necessity). If Wynn becomes eligible next week, he would probably enter the rotation. The big question I have is what do we get from Ali, Dawson and Edwards? Clarke probably gets some minutes at PG. Aziz will probably RS, Coach said he wasn't on campus yet. Most of all, I'm just excited to get this rolling!! Go Zips!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) My $0.02 PG - LCJ.... Tribble... Clarke W - Trimble... Dawson W - Dailey... Edwards P - Marshall... Reece P - Ali... Currie I'm excited to hear (??) if Dawson, Tribble, and Ali have made any jump from their freshmen season. If Tribble improves his 3-point shot he could be nearly unguardable. Same with Dawson. I want to hear Ali being more assertive. Edited December 12, 2020 by Blue & Gold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted December 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Damn I wish we could watch this. Some random thoughts: - I think Tribble will be a combo guard, playing the point behind LCJ and SG with Trimble, getting lots of minutes. - We may see a big jump from Dawson this year. Last year, he an Ali both looked like young foals still figuring out how their bodies worked. This year we see a jump in skills and confidence. - They're deeper than they've been in years. Wynn would only add to this. There are going to be some talented players doing a lot of sitting. - Interested to see how the players interact. Hard to beat last year's squad for comradery and tam spirit. Here's hoping this team is its equal. - I think Dailey will be a major factor in this team's success. I think he takes on Banks role as a defensive stopper and some of X's offense. - I'm hoping another year on Cam Reece brings a maturity that allows him to maintain his intensity while doing a better job of avoiding fouls. - I see Marshall as a younger Reece. High motor willing to do the dirty work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronAlumnus Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I'M BACK!!!! Here to drop a prediction like LCJ, and Co., will drop buckets on the MAC this year. 78-51. Will be rusty but excited to see team's camaraderie. Just like last year, Akron is the team to beat!! Especially if the Wake Forest transfer is granted eligibility on the 16th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
