kreed5120 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. We had no business winning that game based off of how we played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akronzips71 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I know they did not blow the whistle, but just wondering, was time expired when the block happened? The officials did not seem interested in extending the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I saw some really dumbfounded Huron fans on the way out. Watching replay. How did they win this? Murphy iced his own player.

clarkwgriswold Posted February 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 In every successful season, a team needs to steal one or two that they didn't deserve to win. That was definitely one for the Zips. Just a few observations. For EMU, who in God's name tries to milk the clock up two with 3 or 4 minutes left? Also, with the players they have, there's no reason they should be that inept on offense. That Groce kid is woefully underutilized. As for the Zips, playing like that won't get you very far in Cleveland. They're going to see more and more of LCJ getting pressured and being given no space to get off a shot. EMU also made an effort to exploit him on defense for a little today, but then stopped. I think they'll see more of that. The Zips did a very poor job of pushing the ball in transition today and getting points before they could set up the zone. There are some very basic principles to combating that zone and the Zips rarely stuck with them today. If they're not going to use Sayles, when the bigs are in foul or playing poorly, I don't understand why they don't just go small and push the tempo. I don't think I've ever seen a guy who gets caught with his back to the basket in rebounding situations as often as Riak. The refs could have called a foul on the final play. They certainly called a bunch of touch fouls today. I will give Banks credit for going straight up with both hands and refs will often swallow the whistle on plays like that at the end. When Channel hit the floor he immediately grabbed at his groin, but it looks like his back which has ailed him this season. Hopefully, he's okay. He was their leading scorer today in the first ten minutes today with 2 points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 After the game I went to the scorers table where they were replaying the block in slow motion several times and there was no foul. Banks got 2 hands on the ball and just held onto the ball. That is why he hit the floor so hard because he did not use his hands to break his fall. It was a great defensive play! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could never predict that outcome. First time a Zips team got lucky in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
