jupitertoo Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 The key to stopping Preston is to pressure the ball. He's not a great ballhandler. If you let him roam the floor he will find a way to hurt you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beacon hired a handful of new writers. I've also notice that George Thomas has been writing more movie reviews lately. Perhaps this new writer is the official Zips beat reporter? If so, that's great news, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you let him roam the floor he will find a way to hurt you. Whether its been Tribble or LCJ, i've noticed we've been pressuring him full court. Coaching staff must agree. Seems he's feeling it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Did anyone else get an email about submitting pictures for a Zips fan banner at the JAR? I don’t see anything up based on the ESPN+ camera angles. Maybe they didn’t get enough pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Outside of a few blown defensive assignments on pick and roll D, very nice first half. Getting contributions from everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsrule Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Nice first half. Doesn't look like the same team we saw in the last game. They are hitting shots, taking the ball inside, defending...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Solid half. I see green shoots of chemistry. Keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 LCJ will be POY again. He is just amazing. If he was 6'4" we would have already lost him to the NBA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCJ already has 14, I hope he drops 30 to spite the 'objective' commentary. Edited December 22, 2020 by AkronAlumnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
