Dr Z Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Seems to set up nice for us. Time to turn it up! Party starts tomorrow morning at The Cadillac Ranch! Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 I'm very hopeful, but you have to believe Charlie will do his best to have his team better prepared for the match-up zone. Quote
ZippyforPresident Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Party starts tomorrow morning at The Cadillac Ranch! I just hope Zippy is ready to go that early... Quote
MDZip Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Chalk rules so far. Time to start the upset parade like in every other conference tournament. Redhawks can't be too happy to see us. Quote
Bleacher Bum Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Pinnacle has the Zips as a 3.5 point favorite Quote
UAZip0510 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Let's talk about the game itself...what do you guys think is the key to this one? Quote
phil Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 I am hoping that the Zips can make one more run to the finals in this tournament. The last few years have been exciting. The keys to a Zip victory: Rebounding. The Zips seemed to turn things around when they started rebounding the ball. I loved Zeke's aggressiveness under the boards on Tuesday. If he gets double digit rebounds were looking good. Taking shots in or around the paint. Our guards made several layups on Tuesday and we were getting great looks inside. Cvenitovic has been great going to the basket along with McKnight. Would love to have both of them in double figures. Work the ball inside and that will open up the perimeter. McNees always seems to shoot the lights out at the Q. If he or McClanahan can get hot we will be tough to beat. Defense. Our guards have to keep their man in front of them and not let them penetrate like at Can't. Luck. Sometimes the difference between a win and a loss Quote
Zip Watcher Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 More than anything else, I think this tournament is about the Zips .. and less so their opponents. - The Zips need to play together. This means sharing the ball on offense & communicating on defense. It's no secret that the 7 game streak coincided with good D, and a high A:TO ratio. I think it's pretty much that simple. They play together & communicate on D .. and I think we've got a good shot to see 3 Zips games this weekend at the Q. B) Go Zips! Quote
GP1 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 - The Zips need to play together. This means sharing the ball on offense & communicating on defense. Akron is equally matched against every team remaining. In a game between two equally matched teams, one team is more likely to blow the game than the other team winning (See Steelers vs. Packers). ZW is right. Not making mistakes is the key. Playing hard and not making mistakes puts pressure on the other team to perform. Pressure makes college kids stumble, especially in the MAC. Just don't make mistakes and they Zips go dancing. Make mistakes and the Zips go home. It's that simple. It's up the the players on the court at this point. Quote
Dr Z Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Posted March 10, 2011 Personally, I'm rooting for an Akron/Ken+ final. We match up well against them. Quote
Hilltopper Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Personally, I'm rooting for an Akron/Ken+ final. We match up well against them. Anybody but OU. Quote

UA Fan Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 any video today? n/m just found my answer. is that a no? ESPN3 should have it. BG/WMU is on right now. Nice feed on ESPN3. Zips Zone paying customers aren't worthy, however Quote

Zips Zone paying customers aren't worthy, however Agreed. The ESPN3 feed is great. We look good so far too. Quote
MDZip Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Wow, 4:30 to go in the first half and Miami still in single digits. Too bad we only have 18. Quote
OZoner Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Zips played crappy and have what looks to be an insurmountable lead. Quote
MDZip Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 26-10 Zips at the half. Stilfing defense or Miami can't hit the broad side of the barn? Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 26-10 Zips at the half. Stilfing defense or Miami can't hit the broad side of the barn? I think it is a bit of both. Miami is definitely out of sync and I wouldn't expect that to last throughout the second half. Another one of our 10 minute scoring droughts and Miami is right back in this. Quote
K92 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Pretty ugly game to watch so far, but at least we are on the right side of the score. Way too many misses for the Zips under the bucket! Quote
