Can't State hangover and moving on

[zipboy]

My thoughts

1. Kudos to Can't. Two tight games, and they made the plays when they counted. In football, I got so pissed when the Zips almost ran the table and it was because "the other team screwed up and gave Akron the game". Give credit where it is due, congrats to Can't. That said, I would love another match up next Saturday night.

2. Nice to see McFadden looking for a shot at the end. I thought the 2 pointer was going down. He forced the 3 pointer, but he wanted the ball and had the confidence to take it.

3. When Romeo is 5 feet from the basket, he has to look to shoot. I admire his unselfishness, but we need him to score.

4. Game of the year by Preston.

5. Nice rebound game by DP. I don't question KD much, but wondered why DP did not play the last 4:49 of the game. He would have been a nice weapon to have the last couple of possessions.

6. 10-6 with 2 to play, I will take that. Get on Marshall early and often.

7. How many games have we been killed on the boards now? The zone is great, but we sure have trouble rebounding in it.

8. Good night at the line for once. We shot ok, around 40%. The D let us down.

9. The next 2 weeks will be the best of the year. Buckle up. Go Zips!

40% from the line is good? Did you mean 40% from the field?

Agree Can't gets credit where credit's due. I don't think they want to see us again, though, no matter what their smack talking representatives on this board say.

Also thought McFadden had the guts to take the shot.

COMPLETELY AGREE Romeo has to take those in range shots. I know good teams are unselfish and know how to pass, but sometimes it makes no sense. I saw a few of those at the Can't game that he should have opted for the basket.

I've been feeling the same way about Peterson not playing at the end. In the second half he was forcing turnovers and was helping us defensively, so not sure what the thinking was there, either. Been wondering about that since the game.

As far as rebounding, it seems Romeo is letting up some since his performances right after JW was hurt. Just doesn't seem to be hauling them down like he was - the guy has a great vertical but either the bounces aren't going our way or our guys aren't in position....or Travis needs to step it up here at the end. Maybe all three.

This team has surpassed my expectations but now I'm hungry for more, and I'd bet they are, too.

I think when it comes to rebounding more teams are focusing on Romeo so don't give him to hard of a time on the rebounds.

On Saturday we were just never in position and when we were we just were not aggressive enough. I am tired of seeing Futch go up for a rebound with one arm. The dude is huge and needs to get tough on the block. True basketball basics two hands to catch the ball . . . we are not on the black top.

Romeo has a great turn around jump shot. On Saturday he kept going to his left, I would love to seem him use a quick step to his right and go around the defender. After watching the TIVO of the game I thought he could of had some easy shots.

can not wait to play Can't at the Gund. Love the way the Zips are playing . . .surpassed all of my expectations.

GO ZIPS!
