North Carolina Central

Recommended Posts

I decided to check out North Carolina Central. After about 30 seconds, I decided it wasn't worth it. They're 1-10. Over their last 5 games, all losses, which included games against powerhouses such as Towson & Western Carolina, the LEAST they lost by was 20 points. We're their 6th straight away game. In fact, they play 22 away games this year. Life as an independent must really stink. Life as a first year Div 1 must really stink. Life after Saturday will really stink.Will the Zips flirt with 100 again? I'll go for 86-54.

you mean we played sc upstate.66-63.that was a real blowout.
Played 4 time zones away, not in the JAR, less than 2 days after a botched flight that literally lasted 24 hours, with injuries everywhere. The SCUpstate game means nothing.
Yep, and honestly if we win by less than 30, I'll be disappointed. This is a good statement game that the Zips can LEARN how to close things out. I hope coach leaves his foot on the accelerator.Zips 88NC Central 52

96-49 Final. Bardo and McKnight have proven that they can play solidly for extended minutes. The only player on the entire team not to score was Salee.
Lets hope this game doesn't hurt us... as stupid as that sounds, this win did nothing for our RPI and it might have made us too comfortable. We'll see.Other MAC wins today:Ohio beat Delaware (attendance 3,538)K-e-n-t beat George Mason (attendance 4,378)Toledo beat Drexel (attendance unknown)CMU beat Cal. State Fullerton (attendance unknown)

I'm not sure on attendance. The Rowdies were loud enough to be heard over the radio a few times, although they didn't do much in the way of chants defensively. It shouldn't matter what the score is, you guys need to be loud and obnoxious every time the other team so much as looks at the ball.

yeah I was at the game. I hadn't been at one prior so I don't have anything to gauge the crowd tonight upon, though I thought it seemed a bit empty. Certainly nothing like last year.I know NCCU wasn't a top quality team but our boys really played well tonight. Good defense, forcing close to 30 turnovers(okay well we probably only forced about 6 of them; they did the rest themselve). Free throws were still questionable(anyone got an official percentage? I know it was in the upper 60s most of the game)Great showing by the bench tonight. Bardo played monstrous inside(even hit about a 15 footer--what a weird jump shot he's got lol), as did McKnight. Our young players did well, too.And I just have to say this-- boy does McNees look much younger than he is! During halftime warmups he really looked like a high schooler out there in his big warm up shirt. On a lighter note, he seemed pretty comfortable with the ball in his hands running the offense.All in all obviously a great game for us. Good to see the bench perform so well.P.S.- Does Milum dunk at least once in every game?? I swear I don't recall any games where he hasn't, even last year lol

Toldeo had 3901 CMU 2558.I wouldnt read too much in to the OU attendance, with them being on quarters, their students havent been on campus since before Thanksgiving.K.e.n.t.'s arena hold 6000+, I cant believe they wouldnt be closer to a sell out against GMU.
