I have to make this quick (thank you, Finals Week!), so here we go.
1) The men's basketball team defeated the Detroit Titans yesterday, by a final score of 77-69. The Zips jumped to a lead early, the Titans closed the gap before halftime, and then the Zips pulled away again.
Thank you, Horizon League Television, for having a free stream of the game online. Hear that, All MACcess? You can stop charging $49.95 a season for technology that was outdated in 1965.
- The Zips looked a lot more balanced yesterday, with 17 of their 61 shots coming from behind the arc.
- We finally had a big man pull down some rebounds. Nik Cvetinovic grabbed 7 to lead the team.
- This game was the equivalent of playing against a team with 2 red cards in soccer, and the Titans didn't jump on the opportunity. Zeke Marshall had 18 minutes and Mike Bardo had 10, as both were in foul trouble throughout the game and eventually fouled out.
- Cvetinovic led the scoring with 18 (9/15 shooting). Brett McClanahan had 11 (4/10, 3/7 from 3-PT range) and Steve McNees had 10 (2/4 from 3-PT range, 4/6 free throws).
- Alex Abreu put up 8 points with 4 assists in 22 minutes of playing time, including a razzle-dazzle spinning layup.
- Dakotah Euton, Josh Egner and Quincy Diggs all got between 6-10 minutes of playing time, but totaled 5 points, a rebound, a foul, and a turnover between them.
The next game is Saturday at UIC, which should be another good one.
2) The women's basketball team lost to Duquesne yesterday, but have a decent 4-3 record and have two more games at home before the next road game. The next is Saturday against Wright State.
3) Snatching the Saturday spotlight is the men's soccer team, who face #6 California at 4 PM in the Elite 8, also the final home game of the year. The Cal Golden Bears have not trailed in an away game at any point during the year. Luckily, we have the weather (not to mention a 20-1-1 record) on our side. Hopefully this snow sticks around.
