ZIPS WIN!

Zips win 62-30 over Malone!

[Dave in Green]

A very sloppy win. It's really hard to say much about this game, other than the crowd was a little larger than I expected for such a mismatch. The highlight for Malone had to have been blocking a Zeke shot under the basket. The remaining games on the schedule will become increasingly challenging and interesting. I'm going to start wearing short sleeve shirts as they apparently keep the temperature in the JAR cranked way up to sell more soft drinks.

Malone was totally outmatched, but if we would play with the same intensity and desire they do we could beat any team we play. They never quite fighting even when they were down 20 and we played like absolute crap. That was a weird game to watch.

I feel like we shoot way to many 3's. Listening on the radio it seemed like every other possession we were shooting one from beyond the arch and seemed to be missing a lot of them.

Does our team get better playing a team like this at this time of the season? Does playing Malone make you want to drive to the JAR on a Saturday night?

No and no. However, even a kangaroo deserves a Christmas feast.

Agree on every account. I brought a friend and his kids to see the game and it wasn't exactly a great performance. I learned a while back to wear layers to peel off as the heat rises in the JAR, but this was hot from the get-go. My guest had to step out at one point as he didn't dress as wisely.Humpty worries me. Since his fight he's scored only 9 points total in 3 games.Free throw shooting for the Zips in this game: 6-17. Sweich was on the cover of the roster card and he got his couple of minutes and 4 points. Bricked two free-throws though. Good to see Sullivan get in (bricked two free throws also) and even Kyle Petersen grabbed a minute.

That's what Akron does. When we had a 15+ point lead early, I thought we should just pound it inside and get either the points or the fouls. Their tallest guy was 6-6. The good part is they double- or triple-teamed Zeke and he made the outlet pass. The bad part was that our guys weren't hitting the threes (6-25).Happy birthday Zeke.

For whatever reason they seemed to be having trouble with the zone D and maybe that was why they were shooting 3s. I still couldn't understand it since we had such a height advantage. Occasionally they would have some nice passing out of the double-team in the post and around to the open guy on the opposite side for a 3, but all night they couldn't hit the side of a barn.
