Zips Basketball- Looking Back to 22-23/Looking Forward to 23-24

[clarkwgriswold]

If I had to guess at a starting five right now, I think it's:  Scott, Tribble, Dawson, Ali and Enrique.

Great sounding starting 5.

But that would likely push Thornton to backup PG (correct?)...

... which would likely push Tavari to #3 PG.

I'd be interested to see how Tavari handles that.

 

And @clarkwgriswold, what's the breakfast/practice you referred to? Was that made public? I don't remember hearing about that opportunity.

T-1 posted on the board at the start of practice yesterday was;

GT

AA

EF

I think it went out to season ticketholders.  There was a reception Friday night at Infocision with basketball alumni and the breakfast/practice/Puerto Rico send-off Saturday morning.  Unfortunately, I could not make the reception.  I received an email about it and registered the second week of July.

Hey so for next year's nonconference schedule we have st. Bonaventure, FIU and Southern Miss. Does anyone know of any other games?

Or maybe Thornton at the 1, Tribble at the 2, Ali at the 3, hunter at the 4, then Rique at the 5

Welcome to ZipsNation, brother! Glad you're here!  In the Cayman Islands Classic, if we beat FIU in the first game, that would give us the winner of the Utah State -v- Marshall game. So we can add one of those two to your list.  But as of now I think that's all we know of.  Hopefully the schedule will be released soon!

This sounds good to me.At least to begin the season plugging Thornton - a transfer 5th year senior - into the starting PG role makes me a little more comfortable than starting Tavari - a true sophomore. Maybe after Christmas see how Tavari’s looking in that #1 PG role.

Tribble

Scott

Ali

Hunter

Freeman

Scott at PG I presume and not Tribble? 

[Zips08]

I definitely think that Hunter deserves to be a starter this coming season 

[Blue & Gold]

The team is apparently taking a trip to Puerto Rico.  Does anyone know if there will be streaming for any of these exhibition games?

Many schools do a pre-pre-season trip like this. Can't recall ever hearing about or seeing streaming for any of them. I don't know if there are rules about such things, or if coaches want the exhibitions to be private.

Helluva find! Thank you for sharing.

[LZIp]

Looks like Tribble, Dawson, Ali, Hunter, and Freeman starting.

[ZZZips]

Starters are 2,11,22,24 and 25

[LZIp]

5 quick points for Hunter. 3 and put back slam.

[Let'sGoZips94]

The gym is sweet. Could you imagine the JAR with that layout, packed? 

[LoyalZIP]

Early 3pt. attempt from Freeman, looked good but didn't fall

[LZIp]

2nd unit of Scott, Johnson & Johnson, Lyles, and Enrique in now.
