They don’t think about that sometimes.” Better conditioning has been worth it for the Zips, who have had their two best shooting nights in the month of March, including a MAC Tournament semifinal win over Toledo in which they finished 55.6% from downtown. “It wasn’t like pulling teeth to sell that.” ___ AP March Madness bracket: https://apnews.com/hub/ncaa-mens-bracket and coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/march-madness Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
