Game 23- Central Michigan

[Westie]

Zips just sort of in big lead sleep mode. 

[Captain Kangaroo]

We’re shooting 33% from the field and up 18. 🤨

[zipsrule]

Prather sighting!

We have an Evan Wilson warning🚨🚨🚨

He should be in now.

Zips WIN!

[csims0917]

11-0 at home with the bolts up next

8 MAC teams have lost to CMU. 8. Only 2 have beaten them. The MAC BLOWS.

[Reslife4Life]

Not a very lucky night for the Chips

[LZIp]

Felt like the sloppiest 21 point win I can recall, but I’ll take it. Beat JMU!

[Westie]

JMU would be a quad 1 win if I read correctly. No MAC implications but would be a nice gravy win.

Including Toledo. How?!

[LoyalZIP]

Quality depth. Onto JMU. 

[csims0917]

Bad night shooting but beating the “2nd best team in the MAC” by 20+ with two starters out is still a good outcome

The same way we lost to Miami. The better team doesn't always win. Some nights you bring your C or D game and your opponent brings their A game and that's enough for them to overcome the disparity in talent. We live in a world where a 16 seed has beaten a 1 seed. Nothing should be all that surprising.

[clarkwgriswold]

Not a great night shooting. 

 

Very pleased by how Tavari continues to develop.  He could have packed it in when he was sitting early in the season and watching Kaleb and Shammas taking his minutes but he's stuck with it and really come along well.

One section of the crowd is just all the student athletes who made the presidents list or deans list, very cool but I’m sure most of them will go home. 

They left immediately after half.  Happens every year.

Jimmal Ball, Terry Weigand, JD Brookhart all in the building tonight

Tiresome.

Yeah, being part of such a dog 💩 conference is tiresome. We just beat the #2 team in the conference by 21 and we'll probably drop in the NET.

That's how I felt at times too, but we only had 5 turnovers. I guess it was just the poor shooting night.

 

Tribble sure had a game.

His offensive progression this year has been a blast to watch. 

[Captain Kangaroo]

Dawson is shooting 31% from behind the arc, and went 2-10 last night.

 

Tough to justify taking 10 3's when you're shooting in the low 30's this far into the season.

 

Nate Johnson was shooting 43.4% before he was injured. Miss that guy.

Amen.  I didn't think he had it in him as it is not easy to overcome over a decade of bad form and muscle memory.

[LoyalZIP]

Dawson’s shot just isn’t coming around. But I wouldn’t fault him for taking the ones he did last night. Good looks, comfortable game, let it fly. Ali’s perimeter shot hasn’t quite come back around consistently, but my goodness is he fun to watch. Tribble and Ali can both “create their own shot” and Tavari can as well when he gets in the zone.
