I don't think Jackson State will be a pushover.  The Zips should win but I don't see it as a blowout.

Not. Aging. Well.

Drexel came back from 34 points down against Delaware in 2018.

Nice motion and ball movement today.

Yep, finding his way.

 

I think Groce knows that if he doesn't leave him on the floor to get the minutes to find his way that he may be elsewhere when he finally does. 

Even though Tavari makes a few of those head scratching freshmen mistakes each game, he's still a better option to have on the floor than the alternative. Hopefully with more experience by February and March those mistakes become fewer and fewer.

This is getting too close for comfort

You aren't wrong.  Going South fast.

[clarkwgriswold]

This second half is almost as ugly as the first half was beautiful. 

[clarkwgriswold]

Outscored 24- 10 so far this half. 

[NWAkron]

29 point lead down to 14.  JSU lot more energy.  Things was JSU was never shooting badly.  Zips were just lights out.  Now it's reversed.

[kreed5120]

It's like Akron thought the game was over and quit playing. Not boxing out & instead of chasing down loose ball they just let other team pick it up and lay it in uncontested.

This feed once again is crap. The game timer is purple and crooked and there is and occasional purple background that pops up on the screen. We gotta do better.

 

my only other comment is the 2nd half start by the zips is pretty crappy.

[clarkwgriswold]

That was nearly 10 minutes of mailing it in. 

[NWAkron]

Tribble and Freeman hustling.  Hankerson non factor second half.  Anyone's ball game.

Sammy has "smelled the popcorn" again today. 

[NWAkron]

Tavari and Nate have made some big mistakes that put points on board for JSU.

[LoyalZIP]

Incredible first half, awful second half. Overall, pretty pleased outside of a 10 minute stretch. Onto Wright State.

Zips' performance.  First half: Chateau Lafite Rothschild  Second half: Yellow Tail.

Announced attendance 1,385.  Is that the smallest in JAR history?  😬

[Blue & Gold]

Hankerson had 17 and Kobe was given a lot of quality minutes.

So many beer posts on ZipsNation over the years…could this be the first wine shout out?

 

Glad someone else thinks Yellowtail is the benchmark for bottom-end wines! 🤮

I agree that most Yellow Tails are just awful (their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the worst)  but their Pink Moscato has an average Vivino rating of 4.1 which suggests that it is drinkable. Unfortunately, there are scores of wines that are as bad or worse than the worst Yellow Tail.

[kreed5120]

To be fair @Z.I.P. never stated Yellow Tail was the absolute worst on his wine scale. The 2nd half vs Jackson State was pee poor, but I've witnessed worst halves of Zips basketball in the past. He might have a lower tier of wine to represent those.
