eguins Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hopefully we bring a couple hundred fans tomorrow for this game. I think you are clearly the favorites, but think we can definitely win. You will notice we LOVE the three ball. We shoot it a ton and make a ton, but I think we shoot it a bit too much. Our bench has been lacking until the Toledo game last night. I think it should be a war between us! We have not forgotten last year. See you all there!

Blue & Gold Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm pretty pumped for the game. I really do like the rivalry (wish you guys would just give in & play football @ the Info every year - wait, give a a couple years to get our feet under us). I hope the Zips are as up for the game as I am. If they are, I'm predicting a pretty convincing win, seeing as how you guys struggled against Toledo. However, I was also expecting a convincing win last year and we were lucky to beat you guys. I hope YSU brings their 'A' game. Hoping Chancey & Nik continue their good play & hope Brett decides to actually play some ball. Ironically, he was the one to get us over the hump against you guys last year. Go Zips!

We fell behind by 17 in the 1st half at Toledo. We then were on a tear in the 2nd half by NOT shooting the three and we cut the lead to 1. Then DuShawn Brooks fouled out and Toledo went on a 12-0 run and held on to win by 9. And look at the model Ball State and Illinois State have working in 2013 and 2014. Would love to see it happen here too! http://www.goredbirds.com/sports/m-footbl/.../121511aaa.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Should be a fun game. I enjoy the series as much as I do the one with CSU. The away games are easy to attend, even on a weeknight. The early line has the Zips giving 10 points. We shouldn't have any problem with a team that struggled against a terrible Toledo team. I see the Zips winning this one by an even dozen, with only two or three minutes for the end of the bench unlike the 7 or 8 they received in the last couple games.

Even though we are giving 10, we need to remember to play strong till the end. The last few games it seemed the team was losing steam the second half. We have won big, but if we do this tomorrow, it could be a risk of a loss. We need to keep strong, we don't want KD blowing another gasket on the sidelines. If he is blowing a gasket when we are up 20, I wonder how he will react tomorrow with a closer game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were up by 37 when KD started subbing on Saturday. What you saw was 7 minutes of garbage time, guys who have very little shot of actually seeing any meaningful minutes looking to put up some stats.

While Toledo is not yet good, they don't appear to be the horrible mess they've been for the last few years. After all, their new coach HAS won a game at the JAR.

Our Coach has maybe 2-3 wins all time against their new coach, who used to coach in the Horizon at UWGB. He is a good one and let me tell you, he has a solid bunch of players to work with compared to last year. They won 4 games last year and already have 7 this year. Like YSU, they are not the same old shitty program of old. Just like YSU is better than last year. Should be a dandy this evening. Any particular spot I should look to purchase a ticket?

I am sure there was no disrespect to Chauncey as people were misspelling Steve McNees on here his entire career. I love the fact that Chauncey is getting more minutes and that he is rewarding the coaches and the fans with his play. He just needs to trust his ability and what Keith is telling him. Keith is a great coach and Chauncey will grow tremendously. I am looking forward to watching the rest of this year and next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Damion Eargle is tough. He had a rough go of it here last year, but he's averaging over 10 ppg & over 4 blocks per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could develop or perfect some low post moves I'd see him as a more athletic Zach Randolph haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question, which I don't really know the answer to. But with his height, muscularity, explosiveness & all-around athletic ability, if he keeps improving his mid-range jumpshot & defense, I just think he could find his way onto an NBA bench.
