I would love to see (have looked and cant find it) a shot chart for Pat in his career at UA. It would be interesting to see how many shots he's taken/made outside of the paint. (I know, KD's offense isn't built for the bigs to to that but I'd be interested to see the chart).

I will preface this with saying that I thought the ceremony was great and it was great that the U of A honored such a great coach and his family. IMO the marketing dept did swing and miss with this event. It could have and should have been bigger. First off, they only gave away 1,000 t shirts. They should have given away a shirt to everyone that walked through the doors. (I got there 25 minutes before the game and they were out of shirts) Second, they should have auctioned the jerseys off and donated the proceeds to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. I have never been to a game where the team wore special jerseys and didn't auction them off for a cause. Finally, I know that they were selling pins for $5 to raise money, but I don't recall one announcement about them or where to buy them, let alone see someone selling them. The only thing that I was asked to purchase when I walked in was a purple Cleveland Indians hat for $10 and I still am not certain what the cause was for that. Anyone that has had to go through this with a family member knows how terrible this disease is -- I wanted this to be a big event for the family...and I am certain that it was for them. I just think that it could have been bigger.

You do realize that the score was 15-7 eleven minutes in to the game right? There wasn't exactly a whole lot to be excited about. As far as leaving early, with the game in the bag and 2 mins to go....yes, I left early. Up 15 points that seemed like a good time to leave with my daughter on a school night.

“I wish more fans would have come. I guess we’ve got to win 19 in a row before they’ll all come,” Dambrot said, referring to the Zips’ streak during the 2012-13 season. “But even on a night like this it really didn’t matter if we were 0-19, we’ve got to come out for people like him.”

I think it was a combination of both....Zips played poor and Testicle Tech came out and took away their strength. I thought in the 1st half, they defended the perimeter very well and UA missed a lot of bunnies. I am very impressed with this defense. I don't remember a team that played this much in your face D and was good....(except for Nyles). One player that I love watching is Aaron Jackson. He brings so much energy. I cant believe he is only a freshman.

Very good point. Probably could have raised some good money for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Looks like you got some bad info

Oh lord here we go again.......really?

+1

The minutes weren't too far of today thank normal. I expect that everything will return to normal when Pat and Jake return. It's nice to see the 9 man rotation not being questioned when UA wins.

I wasn't able to watch or listen to the game and only looked at the box score. I was wrong...I thought the Zips would lay an egg today, it seemed like the odds were against them. Looks like Gladden and Aaron Jackson gave them some real good minutes today. That is a big win, obviously.

I appreciate that DIG, thanks. I did come in to ZNO with some negativity, though. I certainly could have taken a different approach in the way I posted when I first started posting. You are right, I want nothing more than to see the Zips BB program to succeed. Go Zips!

I don't have a good feeling about this one.

I wasn't upset...I was simply saying that Cant was favored and there were different surprises last night.

Yes & Yes

Welcome to the MAC

Can't was at home and favored. OU winning in Muncie is probably the biggest surprise of the night....or UA.

36% from the field. 61% from the foul line.

Maybe DIG (as suggested by someone else a few days ago) can cover the game for the ABJ since we know they won't send their beat writer.

UA should win this game tonight, they are the better team. But this team needs to figure out how to play on the road. I like the Zips in an ugly one...neither team shoots the ball very well. The difference will be UA's defense.

Hmmmmm, interesting. Attendance shouldn't be going down ..... with the "20 win seasons" it should be gaining every year.

Looks like Zeke still doesn't know how to shave......

In my opinion, before we talk about making runs in the tournament, let's winning A game in the tournament.

I'm glad you get it.

If you are calling me out...kiss my ass. I have never said anything negative about any individual fan on this forum. It would be different if any of us said negative things about certain fans but nobody did. Go back and read my 83 posts and find one where I was negative about Walkman Guy...it was all in good fun, Mister Perfect 2,310 post guy!
