59 seconds.. say Toledo uses most of the shot clock, you're talking 2 shots in 24 total seconds. that's if you're taking the last shot with no intention of giving yourself a chance for an offensive rebound, which most coaches do if you're trailing. Plus you're going full court on the second possession. I haven't seen many set plays that I'd feel comfortable knowing we would get off two good looks in that amount of time. Obviously it didn't work. But if going into the last 59 seconds - you told me the Zips would get a wide open three, and Toledo would be forcing up a fadeaway with 2 seconds left and a hand in his face, I'd take my chances. I wish the walk-on wasn't the one with the open look, however. I think Jake could have gotten a clean shot off before he swung it again.

I was sitting with a coach last night and he was thinking the 2 for 1 there would have been a bad idea. Reason being UA would have needed to get a shot off within about 10 seconds to have a decent look on the next trip down (re: shooting the ball with 40 seconds left would lead to an ugly shot if UT ran the shot clock down to 1 or 2 before shooting). So then you're rushing one shot on the first trip, and then rushing another shot with 10 seconds left. This doesn't even take into account UT maybe getting an offensive rebound and the Zips not touching the ball again. KD made the right choice by opting for the best shot instead of the 2 for 1.

Deji should be playing 30 minutes a night. It sickened me that he wasn't in for the last two minutes.

Needed the wins at NIU and OU. Pretty much had to go undefeated at home after those two losses. Title still is in reach, but it's not gonna be easy.
-
Yeah anyone that doesn't get TWC and living in the Akron Market trying to watch on ESPN3 gets blacked out.
-
Yeah. win 18 in a row - then lose by 50 to VCU.. Probably makes a lot of casual fans think the MAC wins are a mirage. And can we blame them? Then losses like IPFW and Green Bay the other year.. Doesn't help.
-
What are you even trying to argue?
-
Slow down Weatherspoon inside and force Juice to take 20 shots. Hopefully he doesn't pull a Willie Alvarez, but that'd be my game plan. Hope Pat and Big Dog are up for it.
-
Hey I didn't say it was easy But just showing winning will get them to games. It's just that it takes more winning than is normally possible.
-
The same applies for student attendance in that stretch too.
-
Look at the 2012-2013 season. That was a lot, and the attendance was way up and breaking records. 8-4 in the MAC isn't turning any heads.. Either dominate the MAC or beat some teams out of conference. Our friend Joe Akron doesn't care how many times we beat Arkansas Pine Bluff and the directional Michigans.
-
So that is a large picture. Sorry
-
Too bad they're not playing the Riverhounds at Highmark Stadium.
-
There are so many of these little things that wouldn't be a big deal by themselves.. but put together it's just sad.
-
Because that's not how it was when they grew up so it must be wrong
-
Have you looked at the standings? We're in a 4 way tie for 2nd. 2 isn't enough now nor will it be enough in 3 weeks.
-
2-7 on the road isn't gonna win a MAC title. Maybe "acceptable" wasn't the right word. But is 2-7 on the road something we should really be happy with? I mean, that's 11-7 if you go undefeated at home. Say what you want, but that's not up to par for what KD has built here. 4 or 5 puts you in the driver's seat.
-
Right or we could have won both road games against sub-200 RPI teams and have 4.. If we want to win a MAC championship - I'd say 2-7 isn't gonna cut it.
-
Just because you keep saying it doesn't mean 2 road wins is acceptable
-
Sounds like Frenchy could have used the replacement today
-
That is awesome
-
For those who watched the WMU stream - how was it? Worth $7?
-
Heck they could wear purple for all that I care as long as they keep winning
-
So IMG happened to quit making an effort the same time Brad left. Strange
-
I guess Joe has joined the ever-growing Anti-Akron conspiracy.
