We started slow once again (3 points in the first 5-6 minutes). However, I noticed good defense - active hands and moving feet. Very nice to see that. Also saw players diving on the floor for loose balls, which looks like a team that wants to go out there and compete. Our size limited out interior defense, which is expected, but made the plays when they needed to. All around good effort. This win gives me some hope for a first round home game.

The problem is that we don't have HUSTLE 3, HUSTLE 4, HUSTLE 5 .......

Good start. Good passing and hitting some shots.

Canada beats the kittens 73-66. OU falls to 2-6 in the MAC (dead last). There must be a complete meltdown on bobcatattack.

I know it is only one game, but 3-4 looks a heck of a lot better than 2-5.

YES.

That was a great stand. Now let's be smart in the last 30 seconds.

need some D.

Up 67-60 and we let OU go on a 6-0 run. Now 67-66 with a minute to go.

Just finished watching the reply. Overall, a very well played game for the Zips. The offense seemed to move - even without the ball. A nice balance between 3 point shooting and inside play. NIU is probably not the best team, but this is a good building block. On to the Bobkittens.....

We've missed a lot of easy layups in this game. While we are making a little run, this game could be really close right now.

Very much so. I was driving during the late second half. Frenchy went nuts when Utomi fouled out.

We look a step slower than buffalo.

They played pretty well. However, much of the scoring was from outside. Still need to work on getting some points in the paint.

I totally missed that. I could edit it to fix it, but it is so much funnier this way. For the record, I will be bringing them and not brining them.

I'm brining the family this evening.

I didn't catch it live, but on replay, VERY unnecessary. Not even remotely close to a basketball play.

I know. Let's get our game started (after about 20 minutes).

This is exactly why people are upset. We've had multiple players thrown out of games this season because of a lot less. This time, it happened to us, was reviewed, and declared not to be targeting. Based on the way Zips fans have seen targeting called this season, this should have been a clear ejection.

The MAC West winning coach got an extension. If I recall correctly, Candle is getting 1.2 million per year for six years.

Getting ugly now.

Before this game, has anyone heard of cheribundi?

How was that not targeting? We've had players thrown out for a lot less

The one by me recently closed, but while they were open, they had crowns out for the taking.

I had a similar thought. The Stanford defensive pressure was unlike any I have seen. We could not get anything going. Playing like that, Stanford will be tough to beat. That being said, a tremendous season by Akron. They should be proud of their accomplishments.
