For those who were able to watch, how did Ali look in his first action back with the Zips?

Do we know what the schedule is for down there? Will they all be streamed?

He looked good. Comfortable. Made a couple (a few?) confident-looking isolation buckets without over-dribbling. Hit a couple 3’s (IIRC). He’s got to be so happy to get back w/ friends & Groce Ball.

The ball was barely missing any air by the end of the game. That's a good sign.

Thanks! I'm watching the first half right now. 

On the feed that sure looks like Shammah Scott wearing Dawson's #22?

Kaleb Thornton getting a lot of PT.

It looks like Darrion Baker is the odd man out this game... in the first half at least.

Still zero minutes for Ryan Prather. (Someone had mentioned yesterday he may be a little banged up?)

I was able to watch the game video the other day without a Facebook account. Today’s game won’t load for some reason. Anybody else having issues?

I have a Facebook account so I’m unable to tell.

Had to hit pause but I'm back to watching the 1st half now... 

 

Shammah is playing much better today & 

 

I REALLY LIKE Thornton running the point!!!

Final score 91-65

 

Local team only dressed 7.  Fatigue was a major factor for them.
