clarkwgriswold Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 The Thundering Herd comes to the JAR next Wednesday to face the 3-3 Zips. The Herd is 4-1 heading into a game against Indiana this Saturday. The Herd is one of my favorite regular OOC games. The games are generally competitive and D'Antoni's up tempo offense is always fun to watch. Here's hoping some home cooking helps the Zips shooting.

Also working in the Zip's favor is the fact that they no longer have to worry about an at-large bid to the dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the disdain the committee has for MAC schools they could probably go undefeated up until the MAC championship, lose it and be relegated to the NIT! As such, I have put less importance on OOC games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted November 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 6-5 senior guard Taevion Kinsey leads the Herd at 19.6 ppg. 6-8 sophomore forward Obina Anochile-Killen is a factor inside grabbing nearly 9 rebounds a game with 27 blocks in 5 games. He had 10 blocks against Jackson State. 6-3 junior guard Taylor Andrew averages 7.4 assists per game while scoring 10 ppg. With the Herd's ability to score (82.8) and the Zips scoring issues I am afraid this one could be another loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted November 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Akron as a freshman, then a year off due to transfer, then LIU at some point at least threatening to step away, spent tow years there and now at NMSU. Talented but a head case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their main problem was they had no one who could handle Jackson-Davis inside as he set an Assembly Hall record with 43 points. It may be a tough one for the Zips. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 $5 GA tickets for tonight. Also, if anyone could help me embed tweets, it would be appreciated. I'm simply copying and pasting the twitter URL as I've done in the past, but it hasn't worked the same since the update. I've also switched browsers to Microsoft Edge recently, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
