These the refs that ejected Evan? Lol

Walters might be the worst basketball player ever. 

[LZIp]

Elmer and Suder racking up some stupid fouls

And now the 4th on the 7fter. Brutal 

[Zippy87]

SMU is...not good.

Back on the Zips topic for a minute. Texas Tech has four big guys 6'8 6'11 6'11 and 7 ft. None of them play many valuable minutes. And with Toppin out there isn't anybody else on the team above 6'6. Zips should certainly not be at a size disadvantage.

They have some talent. Just don't seem well coached. They spent all of maybe 5 minutes this game feeding their bigs the ball in the low post, which allowed them to erase the half-time deficit. They then abandoned what worked.

 

Miami is baiting them into playing their style of play and it's working for Miami.

Not in the slightest, especially without BJ. 

[MDZip]

Pretty dumb move by Miami. Just rushing down and jacking up three-pointers. They need to take some time off the clock

[csims0917]

The MAC is rolling in the money now. 
With Sac State joining, Miami making the tournament and winning a game, they are making a significant amount more than they thought a year ago when they were doing the budget 

[MDZip]

Congrats to Miami. Good for the MAC. And hopefully that bodes well for Akron. 

[zippy5]

Good stuff Miami. Great execution tonight 

[Let'sGoZips94]

Thank you SMU, Enfield, and the Selection Committee for gifting Miami OH a win and Akron/the MAC a nice payday (to Miami OH's credit, they took it).

 

Go take care of business on Friday, Zips.

Steele out coached Enfield. Miami was always one step ahead in their adjustments offensively. SMU never was able to bully Miami on the inside outside of the first few minutes of each half.

[Let'sGoZips94]

Miami OH's game on Friday should be the last time we see any of these guys play or coach for Miami OH. Steele just earned himself any job he wants, including his Alma Mater Butler.

Any MAC team win is  a plus for all MAC teams

[Let'sGoZips94]

Also, we witnessed tonight why traditional big men are a waste of money in the NIL era. Shooters are a much, MUCH better value.

They certainly gave them an opportunity and Miami took advantage of it

Stick to walk on big men

Not the score I was hoping to wake up to this morning - nonetheless, good for the MAC!!

"We proved the doubters wrong" by beating the 11th best team in the ACC.

A lot of haters in here

Miami is very hateable. 🙂

 

That said, I was pulling for them last night, and was impressed at their execution and poise. Every time SMU made a little run and pulled within a couple points, Miami pushed it back to 8 or 10.
