clarkwgriswold Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 The Zips head off to Oxford Saturday to face the 7-5 Redhawks. The Redhawks will not have played since December 29th due to Covid postponements of games against CMU and Bowling Green. The Redhawks were voted to finish 7th in the MAC preseason poll, placing 6-1 junior Dae Dae Grant on the All-MAC second team. Grant averages 16.7 ppg, 4.2 rpg and 4.3 apg. 5-8 senior guard Mekhi Lairy averages 14.8 ppg. 6-7 5th year forward Dalonte Brown leads rebounding at 7.3 rpg while scoring 11.8 ppg.

clarkwgriswold Posted January 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 If Trimble is not back I'd like to see Dawson in the starting lineup rather than Bandaogo. Bandaogo made some sense against OU with Carter and BVP but against a team with a smaller front line I'd rather have Dawson and his outside shooting in the game to start.

zipsrowdy88 Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 The team practiced today, so I am confused why this would come up in our program right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH, Groce sounded like the team was tapped out after Tuesday. Hopefully, the healthy guys can keep practicing and give us a win against Muncie. Does MAC have a point when teams will start forfeiting games because of this? Edited January 7, 2022 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If games can't be made up there will be no contests. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted January 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 This on/off, players in/players out has to be a very tough environment in which to coach. It has to be difficult to get in any rhythm. The team should be settling into rotations and roles now but that has to be tough when you don't know who you're playing, who will be available or when and where you're playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually optimistic, but I think this season is teetering on the precipice of ending up like last year, with exhausted and frustrated players who are out of sync with each other. I can't imagine they are full strength by Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, this will run its course and they'll be back on the beam by the middle or end of February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
