clarkwgriswold Posted February 6, 2021 Report Posted February 6, 2021 The Zips head to Athens Tuesday night to face the surging Bobcats. OU has won three in a row and were to play EMU, who was replaced by BG, and then that game was also postponed. OU is led by MAC POY candidate Jason Preston who received all kinds of pre-season and early season attention documenting his journey from little used high school player to top notch D1 guard. He is averaging 16.4 ppg, 7.4 apg and 7.2 rpg. James Madison transfer Dwight Wilson averages 15.6 ppg and 7.6 rpg while second team pre-season All-MAC second teamer Ben VanderPlas averages 12.8 ppg and 5.5 ppg. The Zips ripped the Bobcats 90-70 at the JAR on December 22nd with Trimble and Jackson combining for 43. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted February 6, 2021 Report Posted February 6, 2021 Groce said on the post game show that OU is facing COVID issues and this one probably won't be played as scheduled. Still on though as of 2:00a on 2/6. Quote

It's sure going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted February 6, 2021 Author Report Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Looks like we get Ball State Friday at Ball State on the 19th as a replacement wild card game. Edited February 6, 2021 by clarkwgriswold Quote

Reading that article, looks like the Kittens will have 4 postponed games. Really odd that Toledo schedule never seems to be affected by COVID. Quote
kreed5120 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Posted February 8, 2021 A MAC tournament better get played this year as there is no way all these games can be made up. It would be total BS if Akron finishes the season something like 15-4, but loses the conference because Toledo went 16-4. 1 Quote

There's a new Game 16- Miami thread. Edited February 8, 2021 by clarkwgriswold Quote
