Their size certainly facilitates good switches.  No more 6 foot guards switching on to 6'10" centers.

Only player I haven't seen anywhere is Josh Henderson.

I mean there is no Amani Lyles and the ball movement hasn't looked as good, but a lot of the ball movement might be just needing to learn to play together. We seem to be playing through Tahj and Evan a lot. 

 

We seem to be a better rebounding team. I think we will rely heavily on defense and offensive rebounds to generate offense. It will take time to see what this offense will really look like. They're still learning to play together and Ford still will need to determine which rotations work and which don't

I like Evan on their 5'10" point guard.

Yes, and he's the only "little.". Looks like he's from another Zips era!

[clarkwgriswold]

No Xavier Wilson, RJ Jones or Devan Christian yet, but still early.

Pence has been quiet.

That’s a new development.

MMK for president. He’s now my favorite player. Put the work in the off season

How's 'Mr. Basketball' Colin White doing?

[Let'sGoZips94]

73-59 at the under 8 timeout. 

[clarkwgriswold]

The Zips have played 9 guys with 3 in sweats that should see time.

Not much tonight.  3 points 2 rebounds.

Is YSU comparable to any MAC team? And are they a good barometer for our current abilities?

[Reslife4Life]

Evan, Tahj, and Oriol account for 18, 25, 14 points respectively. Out of 80 total

Staveskie is the real deal.

[csims0917]

Tahj and Oriol together work really well this last 2 mins

I mean the top of the MAC to the bottom of the MAC is a wide range. Likely comparable to someone. It's just too soon to know the quality of any team.
