Akron -vs- NIU


Blue & Gold

Recommended Posts

Nothing much to say, happy with the play.

Is Deji still hurt? I don't understand why he doesnt get any minutes in a game like this. I feel like in a pinch, Oldham and Deji could provide some useful minutes in an important game so I am frustrated he doesn't get any experience. Maybe the coaching staff did not like what they say those first 5-6 gamesand decided he is absolutely not ready this year?

Dissapointed Luke didn't score... Anyone know where he came from? Former manager? Maybehe tried out as a walk on in the summer and was cut but the coaching staff kept his name in case one of the players transferred. Actually I think I just asked my own question.

KD told French during post-game interview that Luke was just going to be a manager, and he was happy to get him some playing time.

Zips were trying some new stuff tonight, and it wasn't all going smoothly. For example, they pressed more than I can recall them doing in quite awhile, and had mixed results. It's always a good idea to try new tactics against a weaker team that you figure to beat anyway. I think with a little practice that the Zips' press could be pretty effective.

My wife, who's not a big sports fan, goes to one game a year with me. After hearing me rave about all the great players that the Zips have, she gave me the old skeptical eye at halftime. I told her not to worry, that the Zips would blow out NIU in the second half.

After I said that, I thought about previous Zips team where a first half like tonight would have me concerned that the Zips might fall apart in the second half. Not this team.

Part of the RPI drop for the Zips was due to losses by other teams the Zips have played such as Mississippi State, West Virginia, etc. Makes the Oral Roberts draw in BracketBusters even more fortunate, with ORU's RPI still hanging in the 40s while some of the others teams the Zips might have drawn have been falling in RPI.
