Nice subtle confidence, if the Zips end up as a 14, they can go to DC (please, please, please), Chicago, Tampa or Tucson. 15 seed would mean Charlotte, Tulsa or Denver.

UAZip0510 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Looking at this game, a few things stand out... - Zeke needs to have a good game and stay out of foul trouble. When we beat Can't, he played 30 minutes and had 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks. When we lost to them, he played 21 minutes and had 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 blocks. He absolutely has to stay out of foul trouble. - McClanahan and Cvetinovic have struggled this year against Can't. Nik had 5 points and 5 rebounds in the 1st game, 8 points and 4 rebounds in the 2nd one. Brett had 5 points in the 1st game, 2 in the 2nd game. To think neither of those key players played to their usual capabilities...and even with that, we're still 1-1 with them and played them close on the road in the loss. That's pretty encouraging. - Who controls the boards might decide this game. 37-34 Akron in the 1st game, 34-22 Can't in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have tickets for next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a regional in Spokane? Please! I'm boycotting AZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ref complaints on ZN.O have been way down this season. I agree it's fair to mention the refs when something stands out, but not to be obsessed over them. They have a closer view of the action than fans do. They have a better knowledge of the rules than fans do. Of course they're still human and they still make mistakes. But the mistakes tend to even out over the course of a game. Win or lose tonight, no complaints from me about the refs unless something obvious to everyone has profound influence on the game's outcome. Even though I think refs in general have a perception problem with Zeke, part of the problem is Zeke's. If he learns to see what he does the same way the refs see what he does, he should be able to modify his moves to the point that he will get more favorable calls. Zeke just needs to play tonight the way he played against Can't at the JAR, where he did a great job guarding the Flushes' bigs yet only had 3 personals in 30 minutes.

With the new structure of the tournament, that isn't likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K92 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 If you want to puke read this. Can't fans are such douchebags. link Notice the backtracking on the original post and the revision. Another example of why I always root against them and take such delight in beating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 If there were any question of the "class" of the students, Can't has just sunk far lower than the Ak Rowdies have ever even approached by chanting "4's a homo" in unison as Steve took 2 shots.

UA Fan Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 These announcers suck. Akron - Can't is a backyard rivalry. We get it already. Akron/Can't trivia: 1. How many miles separate the 2 schools? 2. True or False: These 2 teams don't like each other very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
