Game 7- Northern Kentucky


Recommended Posts

The Zips get 9 days off before the Norse of Northern Kentucky come to the JAR on December 3rd.  The Norse currently stand at 1-4 but have games against Bellarmine and College of Charleston before they head to Akron.  The Norse record is deceiving as their 3 of their 4 losses are to Purdue, Cincinnati  and Florida State.

 

The Norse were predicted to finish 3rd in the Horizon League in the pre-season poll. 6'7" graduate student guard Trey Robinson and 6'5" senior guard Sam Vinson were naked to the Horizon pre-season first team.  This far, 6'4 grad student Josh Dilling leads the Norse in scoring at 12 ppg.  Vinson is scoring 10 ppg while Robinson, who was the Horizon DPOY last year, scores * per game while leading the team in rebounding at 6.8 rpg.

I watched NKU beat Bellarmine. They were not real impressive. I'd make them at least a 9 point dog to the Zips. Exercise caution taking the kids to this game just in case Robinson and Vinson try that naked thing again.

As long as the Zips aren't caught looking ahead to SUNY Brockport.

I can't say I'm excited, but Northern Kentucky is a good mid-major program and worth a 25 minute Tuesday night drive down Route 8. 

 

Their record this year isn't so great, but you never know what you're gonna get when you schedule a year or two in advance. Few mid-majors are like the Zips, and a guaranteed winner year-in-year-out.

 

If it were Otterbein I'd stay home.

Tavari has taken a lot of criticism on here, but he deserves credit for stepping up and being consistent so far this season.

 

Unsure how long he’ll hold Young off, but if he doesn’t, that’s more of a credit to Young because he’s really freaking good.

144.5 according to ESPN. 

 

So Akron was probably mid to upper 70s. Always hammer the over. 😂

 

 

Okonkwo is really coming into his own offensively. We have some nice depth in the post. Not the biggest guys, but they're figuring out how to play hard which is the majority of the battle down low. MMK is really getting comfortable too.
