I'm just hear to express my pre-game apprehension as it tends to be good luck for our Zips.

 

I here you. GO ZIPS

Toledo once again flirting with danger. ECU on a run catching fire from 3. 60-53 Pirates at the U8.

I have a bad feeling about this one.

This tournament is making me really excited for this season, it sucks that we have to wait until Janurary 13th for a competitive game with a non-winter break crowd at the JAR

Getting a little ahead of ourselves.  Tough task ahead

[LoyalZIP]

Deja Vu. Toledo loses in that God-forsaken Florida tournament at 11:00am. Zips tip in the Caymans at 1:30pm. 

[Reslife4Life]

Sammy Hunter splash!

[LZIp]

Offense looking sluggish with X getting a break 

[akzipper]

Something about major schools. They don't miss from 3. 

 

Not sure we can keep up with a team shooting 75% from behind the arch.

Wow they are killing it on the running threes

[LoyalZIP]

Much, much tougher opponent. Really tough spot for the young guys + bench today. This is definitely on par with MSU, room for error is so small. Awful start for Hankerson, wide open brick and a T to go along with a pair of fouls. Nut up or shut up.

LSU from 3

Tavari not afraid. Still physically overmatched and not up to speed, but he'll get it figured out. He definitely looks like an 18-year old fr.

I have the same feeling. Zips might keep it close for a little bit, then just get run out of the gym. The fact that it's this close right now feels like a miracle.

Tavari 2-2 at the line, buy your stock now!

[Reslife4Life]

Tavari Johnson what a possession! That pass to Hunter was wild 😂

[zipsrule]

The Zips take the lead!

[LoyalZIP]

💪

[MDZip]

Doing more than keeping it close right now. Up by 8, way to go zips

[The Hip Zip]

Brains and defense trumps athleticism more often than not

 

[Reslife4Life]

Keep it up Zips! If Enrique can get going we have a great chance

Like the way Clark is pushing the ball up the floor.  Sammy Hunter is playing his best game as a Zip.  We have not gotten the ball into Freeman but are still playing well.  Tavar is playing really well.  Can't wait to see him play more.

[LZIp]

Going into the half +2 considering the lack of production from Freeman is really encouraging. Need to get him involved, and need to play better in general on offense. Clarke and T Johnson at little sloppy for my liking. Defense and effort is the reason we are where we are. Finish strong!

[LoyalZIP]

Zips very fortunate to be ahead, they really aren't playing well right now. They're clearly physically overmatched, but that's no excuse for some of the sloppiness. Shooting has been okay, but should be better. And just a bit out of control at times, mostly Tribble and Clarke. They've played worse halves, but have also played much, much better. 

 

They let the pace get out of control when they had the big lead. Winnable, but must have a better second half.

[The Hip Zip]

Guards that rebound matter.

 

[Captain Kangaroo]

Mid-majors that play a P5 tough for a half, then fold down the stretch are a dime a dozen. Let’s go Zips…seize the biggest P5 win in Akron history!
