Would be nice if some of their bigger guns are out and come back and dominate the SBC, we aren't high enough profile for anyone to look back and see anything but "nice win over Ark St back in November" when seeding conversations are happening in March (hopefully)

 

The 3 guys mentioned of being out/questionable are Rashaud Marshall (6'8" F from Ole Miss), Ford (I presume this is Derrian Ford and not Terrance Ford Jr.; 6'3" G from Arkansas), and Izaiyah Nelson (6'10" F). They're all gamers. If it's Derrian Ford, he averaged 10 ppg for Arkansas last year. Marshall is similar to Hunter - 1 year at Ole Miss with limited production. Good size, though, and would be a hole in their front court. Nelson has good size and averaged just under 10 ppg and 8 rpg last year for Ark State. 

 

This will be an interesting game.

Just checked and strangely this game isn't on fanduel.

It's on DraftKings.  Zips +6 at -112.  Over/under is 150.  Zips +195 on the money line.

It might've been pulled from FanDuel. Thought I saw it earlier, but I wonder if the player availability speculation is too fluid for their liking.

Not rolling out your upper end zone seats for a game against a perennial NCAA Tourney spot contender is certainly a choice.

[clarkwgriswold]

Looks like starting 5 is Tavari, Gray, Nate, Harris and Okonkwo.

Need to play a little cleaner, but I’m loving it 

[AkronAlumnus]

Impressive, feels like we have an offense again outside of riq

Great hustle too

Tavari has already made 4 great passes pushing the ball up the floor along with one turnover.  I really hope he is our point guard this year who can lead this team.

This game might be wrapped up by 9pm at this pace lol

[zipsrule]

A little sloppy, but we are up and down the court.

[clarkwgriswold]

Sloppy, but it is game 1.

 

I guess we've learned to answer to the question of whether Sharron Young would see much time as a freshman.  9 guys with with time in the first 5 minutes.

[UAZippers]

Zips are making good drives and taking good shots for the most part. Just need to start making more of them. Too many missed 3s early.

Did Arkansas State just show an ad where they had mowers in their artificial turf football stadium?

Looks like he's grown mentally and physically.

 

I'm ready to see Hardman.

[Let'sGoZips94]

Sharron is going to be quite the freshman.

[zipsrule]

Young looks ready to contribute.

[zippy5]

Young is gonna be that dude
