clarkwgriswold Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 The Zips get an opportunity to avenge their ugly early season loss to the NIU Huskies this Tuesday at the JAR. The good news is that the game is on ESPN3. The bad news is that it's a 2:00 p.m. start. Who wouldn't want to get back to DeKalb as soon as possible? Going into Saturday's game in Brimfield against PCCC the Huskies are 2-10/1-6 in the MAC with their sole MAC win its 67-65 win over the Zips on January 12th. The Huskies had 7 consecutive postponements going into Brimfield and have not played since January 16th! 6'2" sophomore guard Tyler Cochran leads NIU in scoring and rebounding at 13.8 ppg and 7.4 rpg. He did not play against the Zips in the first game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if NIU is in town yet? I guess that's one of the advantages of a 2:00 game. It can always be pushed back to later in the day. Like NWAKron, I suspect they're still in town from their visit to the Agricultural Exhibit and Animal Husbandry Center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Despite what GT thinks, Akron opens up a 16.5 favorite. Surprised. Toledo is -11.5 against Miami.

Hilltopper Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 George chooses to write what the coach is telling him. Groce is not a rah rah type of guy. Groce is also very honest in his assessments of his team. If the Zips want to win the MAC title they need to play better defensively.
