clarkwgriswold Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) The Miami Hamilton Harriers come to the JAR to face the Zips next Sunday. The Harriers are 5-5. According to their website "The Hamilton Harrier Men's Basketball team has been one of the best teams in the USCAA for the past two seasons. Winning 42 games and only losing 17 games with an Elite Eight and National Runner-Up finishes in the USCAA National Tournament." The USCAA is "An organization bringing small colleges together not just for athletic competition; more importantly, it is an organization bringing colleges together who have common goals and perspectives in higher education." The entire team appears to be from the southwest Ohio area and the two biggest team's biggest players are 6'6". Their website has very little info about the team and no stats. Get there early. Seats are limited. Edited December 10, 2023 by clarkwgriswold 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippy87 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Hoping this will be an opportunity for Prather and Lyles to get some minutes and for our guards (including Tavari) to work to polish some things. We need at least solid guard play to make any kind of run this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern and Concord the year before. They seem to be scheduled around the end of the fall semester, so I suspect it has something to do with getting them on the floor without interfering with exams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern, Jackson State, and Florida A&M are Division 1. Muskingum, Heidelberg, and Miami-Hamilton are not. I have no problem with playing one non-D1 each year either to start the season or coming out of exams, but both seems a bit much. One or the other could be a FAMU type. Many of us lament the fact that bigger names/bigger conference schools never come to the JAR but I wish the reverse would happen too. Would love to see the Zips play a road game at a Southern or NC Central or Dartmouth type school early in the season. I know it may not do a ton for metrics but it seems like a likely win while learning to do so in a true road environment while team building. This year’s team is old so may not be as big of a deal, but would like to see it most seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only point is that the trend appears to be to schedule lower quality opponents around exam week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csims0917 Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 I did see there apparently will be autograph signings. Do you think that's just for the children who get in free on Sunday or for everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
