It seems to be a crapshoot when you buy tickets...am I near the Zips section, or not? Am I missing something? From the ticket office: "We will be in sections 103-107 for Thursday. And then 106/107 for Friday Saturday" They used to make that information available to the public a number of years ago. The process has basically stayed the same, but a single session on Thursday and renumbering of the sections when the arena was renovated make it confusing. Since Zips are #1 seed I'm pretty sure we are in the same area every game. Large demand in later rounds may add to that a bit.

Zippy87 Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Bowling Green has played a 7-man rotation over their last 5 ganes. Trey Thomas, who led BG with 19 vs Akron in our regular season matchup, was hurt against Kent State and hasn't returned. They lost two other rotation players earlier in the season, too. They get almost all of their scoring from Marcus Johnson, Javontae Campbell, and Derrick Butler. They haven't been very good offensively, but did have the 4th best defense in the MAC. I think they can keep it close for awhile, but our superior talent and depth should win out in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 If someone told me in November, the Zips would be playing at 11am on Thursday in March... I would have thought..."lucky we made the 8th seed."😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 (edited) I'm more convinced than ever that Groce (not the opponent as much) forced the team into a new offense for the second part of the MAC season. It was a rough patch in February and some of the 3s weren't falling to make it even harder, but they learned how to still scored ~80 points without taking 30 3s per game. This put a new threat on tape for teams to have to plan for which Groce knew, come tournament time, would open up the 3 ball again. Should teams stay out on the 3 line against us, we'd have over a month of experience with the new style. BUGS is collapsing on our guards and leaving guys open, which is something we haven't seen much since January.

clarkwgriswold Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 One area where the Zips have not been good is coming out of a timeout right before the half. Seth and Marcus Johnson should know each other from their time at SVSM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
