I like the energy and effort Halligan has brought tonight.

Actually, He is working hard and is a solid g league player:  In the NBA G League, Bates owns career averages of 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists across 57 games with Cleveland and Delaware. This season, he’s averaging 19.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 30.6 minutes per game while shooting 43.4% from the field.

Goes to show you what a defender Greg Tribble was!

Young Mahaffey and Scott being pulled out of the starting line up is very surprising to me. Thought both played well OOC. Maybe would’ve made more sense if Barre was put in the starting lineup, which would at least change the play style up a little bit.

Are we better defensively tonight than last Saturday or is Western Michigan that much worse and cannot hit a long ball.  I go with the latter.

good win!!

Barre out for at least a couple of weeks.

We have a great team but only 12 posts during the game.  Not much excitement on this board.

Tribble was the best defender man. So underrated 

[csims0917]

Great win. Very happy with the adjustment. Felt a lot more balanced and complimentary. Need to keep it up!

Wedding anniversary. Told my wife I love her so much, I'm skipping the game vs. EMU. 

 

Shot 17% from 3P and still put up 93 points while winning by 21. Alrighty then. That has to scare the crap out of the MAC lol. What an offense.

It's no coincidence that the two kids who play the hardest on defense started tonight.  I suspect the message got through.

He has dunked in at least 1 game before. My man has hops. Great game tonight.

That's how I interpreted it as well. It definitely seemed like we had fewer breakdowns defensively. Nearly every 3-pointer EMU shot a Zips defender had a hand in their face.

No Nate Johnson one-handed dunk disasters last night.

I was listening to the game while driving which can be distracting enough. Reading and responding to Zips Nation wasn’t prudent. But I don’t know what everyone else’s excuse is, shame!! Ha!!

 

Great effort and response to the defensive challenge. Keep it going. Go Zips!!
