clarkwgriswold Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 The 12-14/6-7 Buffalo Bulls come into the JAR Saturday night to face the Zips. Buffalo is coming off of losses to PCCC and OU. 6’5” sophomore guard Curtis Jones leads the Bulls 15.5 ppg while contributing 5 rpg. 6’8” senior forward LaQuill Hardnett leads rebounding at 7.4 rpg while contributing 10.3 ppg. From looking at their schedule, our friends from Canada have been very inconsistent, being competitive in some games and even thumping Ball State by 34 in Muncie while struggling unexpectedly in some others. The Zips won at Buffalo, 81-64, on January 31st, with X leading the way with 32 points. The administration will be watching the attendance very closely as they try to decide between Saturday afternoon games and Saturday night games going forward. It will be interesting to see if this one outdraws the 2234 attendance at the OU game a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Remember when Bulls used to bring a big group of students and they'd sit in the upper corner? Edited February 15, 2023 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted February 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Somebody else may have mentioned it, but has anyone else noticed that Michael Beaven has been writing the Zips stories for the Beacon for the last week or so?

blueandgold Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Does anyone know if people can still just walk up to the JAR ticket booth right before game time and purchase tickets? I have friends that may want to go that don't have tickets currently and I really haven't paid attention to see if anything has changed with that since all the Covid changes have happened with everything.

NWAkron Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 was a lot of fun when the Rowdies were on the floor near the Buffalo bench and chanted crazy stuff at Reggie Witherspoon and of course "Bobby's Going to Cry" Speaking of crying, they needed the poster of the crying PCCC cheerleader a few weeks ago.

LoyalZIP Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I’m really hoping the fans show out tonight. These guys deserve it in a prime time Saturday night. This is what college basketball is all about! This is not the same UB team we destroyed in New York. They’ll have their guard Foster this time around. They’re still not a hugely skilled team, but that doesn’t mean it’s time for the defense to take a crap again. The secret will be controlling the pace and making them play half-court ball. They lack the skill to do that, but have the athleticism to run teams off the floor. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, right, sparse, but mighty. Not sure why one can come to the Kent game and be so into it with Zips gear then not interested after that.
