Z-P Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Strange game, really.As noted elsewhere, our guys came out "too layed back" it appeared (to the crowd). When we missed buckets or screwed up defending, it was like the players just "yawned" and kept on screwing up. Really surprised me. We had what, 10 minutes of that? In the post game, Coach D told Frenchy they "were trying to execute the plan" but it just wasn't happening.............my opinion...........he was covering for lazy play, and the team had an butt chewing at the half.I can see Coach D working..........he had everybody play. He's setting up for this looooong week by using every asset he has.Peterson was out of uniform with what Frechy and Coach described as a "sore" back. I hope it was just "sore" because we are going to need him down the stretch.Eastern's got some descent players..............their frosh point guard can really penetrate. He's going to be a big time player for the future. I thought our defensive adjustments after the half really shut down their big #42 beautifully. I didn't realize how physical Tavis could play until I saw him battling with that big guy. Officiating.............what can I say. It was very weak. Know what however? I'm getting used to weak officiating.............maybe the MAC gets the "green guys" and they graduate "up" to other leagues...........anyone know if that's true?Readers Digest on the game? We didn't play very well, but the guys and Coach D toughed it out and found a way to allow Eastern to "beat themselves".We'd better play "more seriously" and with a passion at OU.One more thing.........nice spending a few ticks with ZW, ZFF and Mrs. ZFF, and CK at the break. You mods do a great job in here.Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipboy Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Nice summary ZP. A few other thoughts1. We were lucky that Dru was on tonight. His floor game has been stellar all year but his shot was there as well.2. Linhart continues to impress. 3. I know that Dials is hurting now but he has not shown to be a good 3 pt shooter. I wish that he would not pull the trigger so quickly.4. 2nd half defensive effort was outstanding.5. Defense and character will win it for us this year. We may have the best D, we never take a night off, and as KD said earlier, "you win big games with character." We did not have that in the past, we do now.6. Mraz looked good. If he can give us 5 minutes a night of pure energy that will help.7. Why did Travis not start? I missed pre and post games.8. Great to see JD and the football team at halftime. 8. Get Daryl healthy. If we get out of the Q, he is going to have to have 1 big game up in Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Travis apparently slept through a practice, meriting the 5 minute slap-on-the-wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheZone Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Travis apparently slept through a practice, meriting the 5 minute slap-on-the-wrist. If Travis slept through a practice he shouldn't have seen the floor tonight. Playing him may have helped the Zips win a game, but that kind of lack of discipline can come back to bite a coach in the arse. Just my opinion. Thought it was a great game last night.

msopher Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Saw the game on ONN. My only observation is this: It will be interesting to see how UA fares against teams with taller guards. Both Dials and Joyce are either at 6-0 or under and I wonder how they would perform against a much taller backcourt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipsrifle Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 From a "New" zips BB fan, I think everyone has summed up what I saw last night. Here are a few more observations....It looked like Romeo was limping during the game and I thought coach might have been resting him. Linheart was awesome. He looks like a really tall 7th grader, but he is going to be something special. It didn't look like we had much of an inside game. I think that when KD called the TO in the first half, when we were down by double digits, there was an @$$ chewing and we came out and hounded EMU. Hoping for a win against the kittens.
