[zipsrule]

A turnover out of a timeout.  ugh.

[LoyalZIP]

Just awful…….wow

[clarkwgriswold]

Nice plan coming out of the timeout.  Wasted your last timeout for that?

[1981 grad]

Make that 3 bad possessions.

[clarkwgriswold]

Metheny 3 in our future?

[LoyalZIP]

You know it. Freeman being perfect at the line too good to be true.

We escaped.

Neither coach going to get an award for execution out of timeouts tonight.

 

Thanks to the BG Falcons.

Way to get it done

[zipsrule]

It's a win on the road in MAC play.  I'll take it.

An ugly win is better than an ugly loss

[1981 grad]

I am surprised the Zips pulled it out but they did play good defense on the last few possessions.  The offensive end at the end of the game was a struggle but X made the shot of the game.  I think it was our only basket in the last 2 minutes.

[LoyalZIP]

Wow. Huge win, could signal a turn in the right direction. Big shots in big moments, stops when they counted most. Road kill baby.

Sammy needs to start over Tavari

Agreed. Tavari excelled coming off the bench early in the season. Best for the team right now IMO.

[LoyalZIP]

Where can I buy an X jersey? Love that dude. 
 

Props to BG though, they hit big shots all night. And they have in every MAC game so far. Maybe they’re actually dangerous.

As the game wound down, Zips had one advantage...they weren't being coached by Huger.

The announcers were praising the attendance at this game. Are you kidding me? The Stroth Center seats 5,000 and there weren't more than 1,500 in the stands. Open seats everywhere. No pressure from the fans 'cause they weren't there. Good Lord, I hope we can do better when in league play at home.

Does make you wonder how much of a difference X would have made at Ball St.

Second, need me an X jersey. MVP!

[zipsrowdy88]

What a game. Not a GREAT game in terms of actual performances, but X and Enrique were fantastic.

 

Enrique I actually thought really struggled in the first half, but once he figured out Agars physicality he was fantastic too. 

 

Sammy Hunter was just INCREDIBLE tonight. Offensively and Defensively he made a few mistakes (two bad turnovers and a charge). But overall I am LOVING that Groce believes in him and the team is trusting him. The people I talk to say he often is the best player in practices, so I am pumped to see him put a game together. 

 

Tavari was not great tonight. I have been a big "Start Tavari" guy, but maybe move Sammy back in? Both of them seem to work better off the bench. 

 

Lastly, would LOVE to not rely on Kobe and play Garvin when he is back.

Outstanding win. X playing was a surprise to me, but very much a welcome one. We had X1.0, this is X2.0. Who will be X3.0? We need to keep recruiting X's. 

 

This team can do it. Groce teams can always do it.

I wasn't joking when I wrote that in crunch time you want Groce coaching your team and not Huger.
