I realize we are well into the season so a single game isn’t going to move the Kenpom needle drastically, but we scored right around our average and did much better on defense yet our ORtg ticked up a couple spots and our DRtg didn’t move at all. 🧐 🤔 😔

I was listening to the game while driving which can be distracting enough. Reading and responding to Zips Nation wasn’t prudent. But I don’t know what everyone else’s excuse is, shame!! Ha!! Great effort and response to the defensive challenge. Keep it going. Go Zips!!

Barre out for at least a couple of weeks.

You had me until American women.

I will try…Halligan brings defensive understanding and effort. We have plenty of offense right now. We need to figure out how to stop teams. Or maybe Groce is sending the team a message???
-
I didn’t see the live action, but it sounds like Barre is improving which would help with drives to the hoop. But the wide open perimeter, poor free throw shooting and rebounding (second chance points) are whole team issues. The good news is we still have time to figure it out. The bad news is we are now likely to get another lousy seed if we make the Tourney.

Our offensive rating goes up, but our defensive rating goes way down. 🤦♂️
-
Thank you!! I haven’t laughed that hard in such a long time.
-
We’re on the receiving end of the Miami game (home) from last year.
-
Joe Dunn says he and David could take the Murray State announcers. 🤣
-
There have been more “And 1” fouls called in this game than the rest of this season combined.
-
I believe Scott got locked up with one of their freshmen as time expired. Both hit the ground. And both charged with a technical foul, but no shots taken.
-
Need a fast start. Hopefully that scuffle at the end of the half lights a fire into our guys in a good way.
-
Barre is blocking shots.
-
Sounds like the Yale game so far. Defense optional.
-
And yet they received 2 votes in the AP rankings. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings

It wasn’t a pretty game at times, but I would say our guys passed the test. Groce is sure challenging them with different styles of play this year.
-
I haven’t seen Barre for some time.
-
Thank goodness Tavari, Shammah and Amani packed their 3 point shots. It’s been the difference maker in my opinion.
-
Tulane does have a cool old gym.
-
42-34, Akron at the break.
-
Nothing is coming easy for the Zips today, but they keep swinging.
-
Barre doing some good things out there.
-
We can’t seem to figure out this zone and Tulane is getting long rebounds on their offensive end. Add to the fact it’s a road game and we are in a real battle.

I think this should have been a thirty point win. Bucknell is a good team, but they are missing so many players. Once healthy, I could see them bouncing back and making some noise. Then a 20 point win will look a little better on paper.
