Choking to Marshall in a half empty arena Shout out to the John Groce Defenders 

We always have had 1/2 empty arenas this time of year and crowd today was pretty good.  But this was handed to us.  Last year's team could close out a game better.

That being said, this game was lost thru turnovers and crappy rebounding.  They need a crunch time player who can make the big play

You can pin this lose on effort. First time I have thought that this year.

 

Absolutely correct. Defense and rebounding both require effort. 

 

I was disappointed with Groce's post game comments. He didn't voice any concern with effort at all.

Some good in that game, mostly on offense, but many more frustrating aspects in the loss.

 

1)  Box out.   Damnit, box out!  Waaaaaaaaaaay too many second chance points for Marshall.  4 foot tall Loren Jackson makes more of an effort to box out than our big guys.

2)  Dear Zips staff- when the other team's offense relies on penetrating and kicking it to good shooters on the perimeter, you may want to back off on the help defense and tell defenders to stay with their men.

3)  Pass the ball against a zone.  Marshall was good at that.

4)  Turnovers killed us, especially in the first half.

5)  A slight of frame 5-8 point guard should not be defending the 6-3 leading scorer from the other team.

6)  Running and taking quick shots is THEIR game not the Zips.  Don't get caught playing to their pace.
