clarkwgriswold Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 The Zips stay on the road this Tuesday heading to Ypsilanti to face 9-11/2-6 Eastern Michigan. EMU is coming off of a ten-point home win over Buffalo. Their only other win was over PCCC. All-MAC 6’4” junior guard Tyson Acuff leads the Eagles and the MAC at 21.6 ppg. No other EMU player scores in double digits, with 6’2” sophomore guard Orlando Lovejoy as the second leading scorer at 9.4 ppg. They are 10th on scoring and 7tn is defense in the MAC. They’ve already won more games this season than they won all of last season during the Emoni Bates mess of a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted January 28 Author Report Share Posted January 28 On an unrelated note, App State beat James Madison yesterday dropping JMU into a third place tie in the Sun Belt. App. State has handed JMU its last 2 losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted January 28 Author Report Share Posted January 28 Stan Heath has a 26-55 record at EMU and 236-262 record over 16 years as a head coach. He started 30-6 at PCCC. That's a pretty rough ride. Acuff's 21.8 ppg going into Saturday was 5th in the NCAA. EMU Starters in their last game: Tyson Acuff- 6'4" guard- 21.6 ppg Arne Osojnik- 6'6" guard- 7.7 ppg Orlando Lovejoy- 6'2" guard- 9.4 ppg Jalin Billngsley- 6'8" forward- 6/8 ppg Javantae Randall- 6'11" forward- 1.7 ppg 6'8" forward Jusuf Jihad also plays a bit, averaging 7.6 ppg.

Game is irrelevant now 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippy87 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I'd love to see us come out, jump on them early, and never let up. Hoping the Miami game was a wake-up call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 The Zips on the perimeter often look like they're predisposed to make the quick catch and pass rather than looking for their shot and it sometimes results in passing up a good shot.

LZIp Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 No doubt our program is in its prime under Groce (unfortunately likely looking at a down year next year), but didn’t realize we had the best win % in the MAC since 2019..would have guessed Toledo over us with their hype every year, or maybe even Kent.

1981 grad Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Yikes!! The Tribble take to the basket between 3 defenders might be the highlight reel for bad defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
