RowdyZip Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 The wife and I are leaving Akron for the short 5 hour jaunty to the Valparaiso Courtyard Inn, and I thought I'd start a thread and see what pops up. The line opened at PK, but has since moved to Akron -2. Thoughts? We can probably use this for Duquesne as well, thanks to the short turnaround. GO ZIPS! Quote

Well... for predictions sake, I see Zips winning by 5 and dominating the game. This team is too talented this year and as they grow together, they will only get better. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Valpo is a guard-oriented team with no real inside presence. They like to get opposing bigs into foul trouble with quick play. Their fans seem to think that we are a slow team because we focus on the frontcourt, and they think their guards will be able to run circles around Abreu. They're in for a shock. Quote

Nobody runs circles around AA. He's the quickest Zips I've seen since Jimmal Ball. However, if Valpo's a guard-oriented team (as are many college teams) we absolutely must guard the 3-point arc tonight! Quote

Valpo has 3 point shooters at basically every position...should be interesting to see tonight... Quote

When your leading rebounder is also a 3 pt threat (from down under, no less), there's no doubt you guys are right about a key to this game. Guard the arc! Quote
BirdZip Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Broekhoff is 4-17 from 3. Valpo is 15-55 from 3 (27%). They were 5-20 vs Arizona, 4-19 vs GA So, and 6-16 vs. Holy Cross. Not exactly shooting the lights out from downtown. Quote

mes102 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 You have to remember it's still early in the season...They can still light it up from 3...Since they haven't yet, that makes it even more scary for tonight... Quote
UAZips Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Our house is divided today (I'm a Zips alum, wife is a Valpo alum.) The trash talk has been light the last few days, but has picked up this morning. Don't let me down Zips! Quote

By this logic, Buffalo's football team is in TROUBLE tomorrow... I'll grant that performance in the past three games may not be indicative of their future performance, but I just like my scenario better. Quote

Their fans are in for a shock if they are expecting a slow it down grind it out kind of game. Clearly they did not see the MSU game. Along with guarding the 3 point line the Zips need to crash the glass hard tonight. Teams that take and miss a lot of 3's can have a tendency to get a lot of cheap points off of second shot opportunities from long rebounds. Zeke may need to stay at home and play for the rebound a little more tonight as opposed to going for the block all the time. Quote

MontrealExposloveZippy Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Is this game on TV? Me and the girlfriend are going downtown and am wondering if we can catch it on the tube-- Go Zips! (As a side note I do think Valpo is one of the coolest sounding names in all of sports) Quote

akzipper Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 These announcers are terrible! Talk about homers... Go nuts when Valpo gets the ball and everytime Akron scores they say "oh well just a size advantage" Quote
