ewbrooman1 Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Ball State beat Western. BG beat Flushes. Zips maintain a 1.5 game lead in 3rd place (over Ball State and OU.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought OU called the timeout to stop Akron's momentum. Good grief. Sounds like my daughter's high school coach. She loves to call a time out and kill our own moment and get the other team back into the game. I can't even tell you how many games we've lost because of it.

Z.I.P. Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 For Akron WBB this is the toughest trudge of the season, the struggle to finish and hopefully get a top-four seed (would that gain a first-round bye or something?). The currently third place Zips will be underdogs in the next three games @Bowling Green, @Ohio and vs Buffalo at home -- they finish with Miami at the JAR. For this team to finish in the top four it will require at least one win in the next three -- I think the most likely coming versus #2 U@Buffalo. However the regular season concludes, this has been a dramatic possible turning point for the program. The team should be chosen at least for the WNIT, which would mark the first return to the post-season in like six or seven seasons. Jordyn Dawson is still in contention for league player of the year, and coach Jackson for coach of the year. Hope the fans and especially the students will come out and cheer the team on in its two remaining home contests and at the Fieldhouse.

LoyalZIP Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I'm really hoping the Zips can stay on the 3-seed line going into Cleveland. That game would tip around 7pm and give any Zips fans that may not have the chance to go to a mid-day game up there to make the trip. By my non-scientific mathematical analysis, I think the Zips need to win 2 more games to lock up that spot, at least for me to feel good about their chances to lock up that spot. It is indeed a tough stretch, and I can't stop thinking about that awful timeout that killed momentum of what would have been a huge win toward locking up that spot. Anyway, it's time to move on. The Zips match up well with BG, so tonight is a big opportunity. Assuming the Zips will beat Miami in the regular season finale, they need to win just one game of @BG, @OU, or home vs. UB to pretty much lock it up. Certainly doable, but this team has had some brutal close and unexpected losses. Also, it's time to build some momentum and confidence heading into tournament play too, something that not a single player in the program has any experience with.

NWAkron Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I heard Mykal say that Jordyn wants to be a coach. Maybe she will stay on as a grad asst. Who thought women's team would be higher seed then mens team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 A thriller of a game! Really back and forth, and I don’t like complaining about officiating but BG got away with a lot of physicality. Unfortunately for them, Akron is TOUGH. That’s a huge win toward locking up the 3-seed. Congrats, ladies! Go Zips! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Zips made a big mistake in shooting too early in the clock. Jackson again calls a timeout when Zips had the ball and the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
