Dawson misses a box out...

That was Ali who missed the box out.  He came off his man and him and Dawson were boxing out the same man leaving Ali's man wide open.  Ali looks totally frustrated and is just all over the place.  Once again our inability to hit the three ball killed us this half.  We have 3 players that can score consistently, Ali, Tribble and Freeman.  One has fouled out, the other is frustrated and settling for three balls and Tribble has made it to the line but has missed some baskets.

I thought 2022 killed the 2020 demons. I was wrong. Still very much alive. No reason for this, at all. Success is fleeting for mid-majors. And these guys have pissed down both legs and all of ours.

Motivated about the MAC Tournament next week? 
Me.........

Somebody punch me in the face for watching that all the way to the end. Goodness I don't know why I did that to myself.

Pathetic. Groce has some work to do over the next six days. No effort in the last twelve minutes or so 

[clarkwgriswold]

Some real momentum heading into next week....

[GoZips88]

BAD. Directional. Michigans.

Outrebounded 39-28. 12-7 offensive as well

[ZipCat]

This team blows...

[GoZips88]

My God. Those Kent unis are hideous.

[clarkwgriswold]

They gave up 59 points in the second half to an 11-19 team.

[Reslife4Life]

This is almost the same trajectory the soccer team had this year. Not a good thing to follow

I just wonder if Groce has Tavari playing more.  He has provided some scoring on the road when we have played Buffalo and Kent.  This team needs some offense.  Might be time to bring in a good 3 point shooter even if his defense is not up to par

Nope, Tavari sat the entire game.  Still think he has more talent than what Groce puts out there but Groce knows best.

Hey, if being a Zip fan was easy, everyone would be one.  Football sucks, soccer sucks, and now basketball, you guessed it, sucks.  I just feel bad for Freeman, Ali, and Tribble.  If one of them has a bad night we are hurting.  As somebody indicated earlier, we play best when someone other than these three has a big night.  Hunter started out hot in the first half then lost it in the 2nd half.

Our guys came to play tonight. Let’s see if they have a complete game in them. 

Nope

[clarkwgriswold]

This team is LOST.  Groce and staff have until Thursday to help them be found.

[dirtyolcrowe]

Not saying Groce is a problem but how do you let a SR laden team collapse like that.

Revision of my cleveland pick, 1st round out, thanks and off to next year

Including a heavy favorite in a ML parlay is always terrible value.

[clarkwgriswold]

I'd sure like to be a fly on that lockerroom wall to see just what's going on behind the scenes. 

[zippy5]

It's really weird. Weird enough that if some gambling scandal breaks in a few years I'd be like oh yeah that checks out 

[GP1]

The road has been a difficult place for good teams this season.

Maybe the seniors should show some leadership and play better so internet warriors don't blame their coach.
