RowdyZip Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Zipsnation now mentioned by the announcers. At least they did a tiny bit of research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 They're more knowledgeable than the NCAA tournament announcers were last March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I don't know how I feel about Q toughing out this wrist injury in the preseason. I could understand in the MAC tournament but in the preseason? I just hope he doesn't hurt it anymore. He is obviously favoring the left.

ZachTheZip Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 This game has enough problems that it will keep the coaches busy breaking down film all the way until the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 A close game is a good thing. We're learning more than we would in a blowout. We're seeing how the players respond to pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Was KD deliberately trying to make this a close game? I wonder. As I previously mentioned ... I smelled a rat about the officials at Carlton. That was about a lopsided "home cooking" game as we have witnessed in a couple of years. The Zips were fouling when they had the ball; more than once. Harney gets whacked; mutters something; gets his second technical which is an automatic ejection. Carlton sends Scrubb to the free throw line for two gimmees and the ball. Really, really well officiated game. Tree in the game when it is on the line and, of course, he bricks free throws. Hopefully Carlton did not know how bad he is at the foul line. Number twenty-three for Carlton, Phillip Scrubb, was as advertised. Fortunately he missed a critical free throw at game's end to help the Zips. Celebrate five en oh. I would preferred to clock Carlton as they had attitude. Had to turn the sound off. When those announcers said "zipperheads" I was ready to kick some Canuck arse. They were terrible. The Red Sox game with the Yankees was more important to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 What was the final score? Akron 80, Carlton 76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 It wasn't pretty, but it was a win, which is more than Illinois State got at Carleton. In two of the other three games Carleton played against U.S. teams, the refs were also pretty lopsided on the whistles, so this was no surprise. No doubt the Zips were a little tired after four previous games in quick succession. Obviously the Zips would also have been a little better off with the Serb playing. With that taken into consideration, I'd say there's no cause for great alarm or great joy over the results. Now we can sit back and enjoy the comments from the extreme optimists and the extreme pessimists, who I'm certain watched very different webcasts.

akronzips71 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 What was the final score? Akron 80, Carlton 76 This team is very athletic but of course they need to get on the same page. I think that will happen. This is pre, pre, pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Technically I suppose there's never really an "official" game thread started by a moderator. Most games have an "unofficial" thread started by someone, and everyone else just joins in on that thread. This thread developed into the "unofficial" game thread when someone bumped it just prior to the start of the game, and everyone else joined in.

Dave in Green Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Carleton University is once again quick to post a box score. It was a lot closer on fouls than I thought. Same on rebounds. Zips won on steals and turnovers plus higher shooting and free throw percentages. No one who played had terrible stats. Rico proved he's physically fit by going 36 minutes. All in all a good performance against one of the best college basketball teams in Canada, especially considering the absence of the Serb.

Dave in Green Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 By the way, Philip Scrubb is one of the better players the Zips will face this season. Prior to attending Carleton University, Scrubb led Vancouver College to three consecutive final fours. His VC coach Bill Disbrow, the winningest coach in B.C. prep history, said of Scrubb: "He is the most complete player I have ever coached. Scrubb has also played internationally for Canada's FIBA U18 and U19 teams. As a freshman at Carleton, he was named Canada's CIS rookie of the year. Before selecting Carleton, Scrubb was recruited by all the top Canadian universities as well as by such U.S. schools as Portland, Sacramento State, and New Mexico State. It's no embarassment that he went off on the Zips the same way he went off on the three other U.S. teams Carleton has played this year.
