But for a different reason. My big fear is that the team is tired and ready for the season to be over. I just don't sense any 'fire' coming from the guys. I know it's only been 2 years but Groce's UA teams haven't shown much improvement, either during the season or from year to year. Kinda reminds me of the Hipsher era (minus the nepotism). Wish I was more optimistic......... Regardless I will be in my seat rooting us on tonight. GO ZIPS! I think the Hipsher comparison is a tad premature. I think the best comparison is to look at programs which are/were similarly situated so we are comparing apples to apples. BG and Miami and Akron are in different stages of rebuilding. I think watching how Zips do compared to them is the truer test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Can an 8 vs. a 9 seed really be a trap game? If we're looking past a team that finished 1 game behind us in the standings and beat us once, we have a problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crucial for both of these coaches to make it to Cleveland. Miami lost by 2 to Toledo in the second round last year. If Akron let's it's guard down for a moment, Miami is going to run over them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I actually against my better judgement made it to the JAR for the game. I haven't seen the JAR this empty since my freshman orientation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I love how we've been faking the three in order to get a step on the primary defender. Have to keep attacking the basket. Miami is looking to run us off the 3-point line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy5 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Key is going to be making sure they don't start the half on a 5 or so point run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
