Good to see Liisa having a break out game. 

 

 

Totally agree! Does she have 1 or 2 yrs eligibility remaining after this season? Would love her to keep developing into a potential all-MAC player and prove out a similar develop, teach them to lead, retain (then add a few key pieces through the portal) approach like the JG method. Hopefully what’s happening with Gensler through the guidance of Wentz and JG.

Fun game Friday at the JAR vs #20 Michigan

 

Michigan has 2 of the better freshman guards in the country in Olivia Olson (16.9 ppg) and Syla Swords (16.6 ppg)

 

Should be a fun one

Why did they schedule the game with the biggest name coming in at noon on a Friday?

I suspect that when a Big 10 school agrees to come to you that they control the day and time.

I heard it was our coach's decision. Wanted the Youth Day crowd. It's the last day before break for a lot of schools though, and some have other activities planned. It may be tough to get any crowd that weekend before Christmas anyway.

Zips rolled to an 80-52 win over D-2 Miami-Hamilton at the JAR on Saturday.  Noticed in box that only 8 players saw ti.e for Akron.  Maddie Vejsickie (sp?), Kaia Woods and Lanae Riley were absent.  The first is the team's best 3-point shooter, while Riley the former Hoban star has been out-of-action the past 3 or 4 games.  Are they all injured or is there something else going on?

We’ll know a lot more about this team and Gensler’s second year campaign a week from now. On the road against Ohio and home vs Toledo, both wins they should have if they expect to beat pre-season expectations. Seems there are concerns about the depth based on input on this thread so far. Also curious what NIL commitment for WBB from Wentz is going to translate to.

How ‘bout dem Zips?!?!  What a HUGE win for our women in the MAC opener on New Year’s Day!  Beat OU after a “ehh” first half.  The Big Lisa is really starting to play her style and dominated the paint today.  Way to go Zips WBB!

Gotta bank a few road wins.  Women hold on to 15 point lead.   Only 7 players for the Zips?  OU's coach probably on his last leg.

Maddie should be back soon. Kam,Ren suffered an ACL injury in the Hamilton game. Riley is out for personal reasons. It looks like an 8 person rotation for the foreseeable future.
