I disagree. Tavari did not shoot the ball well going 1 of 5 but in 20 minutes against a high pressure defense that forces a lot of turnovers he had 0 turnovers. He also had 2 assists 3 rebounds and 2 steals. I believe he sees the court better than any of our guards and can find the open man. He will remain the point guard with those stats and I believe his shooting will improve based upon his stats from last year.

As a fan, are you looking forward to this game? As a season ticket holder, is this game worth $30? How many times have we played a weak team and played down to the level of competition? How many on this board wish the football team was playing Heidelberg?

I like to see Nate Johnson shooting 15 foot jumpers off the dribble. He gets great height on his jumper and fades away from the basket. Very difficult to defend. They tripple teams Freeman in the first half and he passed to the open wing but we could not hit a 3 pointer in the beginning of the game. We did not score in the first 5 minutes. Great game. We follow this up with Heidelberg? Rediculous!!!

Can anyone give me one good reason they are on our schedule?

I thought the offensive foul on Kent was a flop by the JMU player but it worked. The Kent player should have been smarter and not touched the JMU player.

All they had to do was throw the ball into play and have a Kent player touch the ball. Not brain science.

This time Kent scores 5 points in 2 seconds to send the game to a 2nd overtime. Both teams have choked a win.

Madison just scored 5 points in 4 seconds to tie the game as time ran out. What a choke by Kent!!!

The refs. When the Zips punted and it was muffed there was a mad scramble for the ball and the Zips recovered. After the play the refs had an animated discussion for 5 minutes trying to decide what to do and they finally indicated that the Zips had been holding prior to the muff and they had to rekick which negated the fumble recovery and then Jomo jumped up and down yelling and screaming at the refs for 5 minutes.

This game just sums up the season. Terrible play calling in short yardage situations, the obligatory Cuff interception, stupid penalty that prolongs a drive or negates a fumble recovery, defense playing well enough to win but the offense sucks so bad that give it up. And we keep wondering why Lindgard does not get the ball more.

Can we hire the color guy as our offensive coordinator?

We saw the same stuff last week. Third and one and he passes the ball. Give it to Lindard to keep the drive going. Then we get stuffed in the backfield on 4th down. Just stupid coaching.

I cannot tell you how many times he has let the ball bounce and we have lost yards. Now he catches the ball and we lost yards. We cannot win.

That first drive until the interception might be our offensive highlight.

I just don't understand why Cuff does not get rid of the ball to LIngard as soon as he sees the blitz. Stop trying to throw the ball down field and get rid of it to play another down and Lindgard can make something happen out of the backfield.

I read an article that indicated it all about TV money and TV ratings. Apparently there was going to be a competing tournament featuring Power Conference teams and the NCAA was afraid that people would watch that tourney with the better teams. It sucks!!!!

Almost as impressive is that the annoucers indicated that Tribble matched his season output of made 3 pointers since he only had one last season. Really impressed with the announcers who took the time to learn about the Zips. Makes me wonder how many on this board knew this fact?

If only mens soccer had won their game it would have been a perfect week for Zips sports.

I cannot believe they did not double Freeman. What a gift.

Really good game. Why can't the Zips find more opponents like this?

Tribble with a travel. That is the 2nd time he hesitated when he had an open layup. Take the ball up strong and do not hesitate.

Thanks! LOL But first time in the Zips uniform so they looked like frosh to me.

That is what frosh guards do best. Not used to the speed of the college game. Passes that they made in high school get picked off and they have to learn they cannot dribble past 3 guys. Tavari did the same thing last year.

The offensive rebound by Freeman where he tipped the ball 3 times and then scored was amazing. The refs have been good letting them play and I like these announcers. They have been both informative and funny.

Freeman has yet to score. They doubled him in the post and he had a nice assist. Need to get him the ball more. He needs to score inside or outside.
