johnnyzip84 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Vegas has it as a pick 'em game. Don't let Scott Thomas bang the boards for easy ones. Once he has success there, he often starts hitting on all cylinders. Same for Calhoun. Box out, Zippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Our last appearance at Anderson Arena. I always liked the place and have many fond memories of watching the Zips and the Falcons play there. Many of the younger guys here may be unaware of some of the great BG teams of the past but that place really rocked. They used to have great support from the students and filled it to the rafters. Those screaming kids were actually so close to the action that the front row could actually reach out and touch the players as they ran up and down. It was a really tough place for a visiting team to try to steal a win. If memory serves, I believe that BG and Anderson Arena actually graced a Sports Illustrated cover back in the late 80's or early 90s. There was a really nice piece in the mag about how tough the MAC was and it was true. Man, have times changed, Its much more subdued place now and the student support has greatly diminished. Last year, I think we were louder than the BG fans. Phil McKnight was funny as hell that day as he had an ongoing chat across the floor with some BG fans. Anyways, I just love the feel of some of the remaining old gyms from the past and I will miss Anderson Arena just as I missed Memorial Hall back in the day. Lots of great memories..............

RowdyZip Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 30-17 Zips with about 4 minutes left in the first half...Defense is looking fantastic and shooting >50% from the floor. Are our Zips back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are our Zips back? 37-17 now after another 7-0 run...2 minutes to go in the half. Layin' the wood to BG...keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZoner Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Might be the best half Akron has played this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Key to the game is Akron is +21 from the 3 point line. Akron is 7-13 and BG is 0-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Might be the best half Akron has played this year. At the half: 41-23 Zips. We need to win this by 40, send notice to the rest of the East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Might be the best half Akron has played this year. At the half: 41-23 Zips. We need to win this by 40, send notice to the rest of the East. I'm starting to believe in Keith Dambrot's team. With tongue in cheek, I think they can now climb up to my 4th place pre-season prediction. But, I'll be watching the regular-season finale on ESPN2 with the hope it can still be for the regular season crown. Go Zips! P.S., can we petition the MAC to play @BG (Anderson Arena i.e.), at least twice a year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Zeke is having a GREAT game. Blocked shots, interfered with shots. He had a steal!!!! And he got down the floor in front of a fast break by McNees went hog and missed the shot. The one jumper he hit looked PRO! Watching the $7 feed and it is damn good. Way better than anything on ZipsZone. The commentators keep comparing Zeke to Wilt Chamberlain. AA is going to be a great player. Maybe DB Cooper caliber next year. And Diggs showed an amazing athletic move to the basket. We can't be as bad as our record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Anyone feel like they have slipped into an alternate universe? This doesn't even seem like the same team we were all watching a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't even seem like the same team we were all watching a month ago. That's because it's not. This is the team we're watching today, and it's a much more confident and in-sync team than the one we watched a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 This is turning into a beatdown of epic proportions. Nitro has hit 5 of 6 3-pointers and the Zips lead 52-27 early in the second half. The Zips sure have found themselves over the last few games.

Dave in Green Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Forgot to note that the Serb already has 9 rebounds, and the Zips are outrebounding BGSU 27-17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hopefully Egner gets 10 minutes of PT down the stretch with a few of the bigs with 3 fouls and considering the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Only negative, the Zips are apparently playing 8 on 5 the rest of the game as the refs are blowing everything against Akron right now. Zeke, Nikola, Bardo and McKnight all with 3 fouls right now. Only problem is that at this point it isn't going to matter because by the time our guys start fouling out it will be time for KD to clear the benchs anyways.

MDZip Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 AA is going to be a great player. Maybe DB Cooper caliber next year. You think Alex Abreu might jump out of an airplane with a bunch of money and never be heard from again? That's one wild-assed prediction. Think everybody is in a good mood tonight. Could the dream of another 20 win season and five straight MACC still be alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So put Egner and Euton in for a few minutes. Or maybe that really skinny kid. We have tons of talented bigs sitting on the bench. They would probably all be starters for BG.

The way BG is playing I could start for them. What is the worst thing that could happen - they would be down 30 points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
