Apparently all the Zips have to do to get an article written by one of the ABJ's actual sports writers is make the NCAA Tournament 🙄 3 Beacon articles about the Zips today. Marla about Groce, Beaven about Ali and GT about the team in general. Shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would hope that the team's late season success will make the transfer portal work in the Zips favor. It should keep the current kids here while drawing other kids to the program. I hope it doesn't draw attention to Groce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their tournament victory capped an eight-game winning streak heading into NCAA play. If they want to make it nine straight, they'll likely need second-team All-MAC forward Ali Ali (14.1 points per game, 41.2% 3-point shooting) to make a name for himself."

I'm going to sleep well at night thinking that they heard me, made a diss track about me, and proved me wrong.

The nostalgia helps them relive their glory days from decades ago to hold onto some relevancy in the P5 world.

Not only am I wondering about recruiting but relationships for scheduling across all sports. It’s not just UCLA that will be in Portland but also Gonzaga, Georgia State, St. Mary’s, Boise State, Memphis and either Indiana or Wyoming. So schools from the PAC-12, West Coast Conference, Mountain West, American Athletic Conference, and Sun Belt to network with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
