Dr Z Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Good article about how the Zips need to step it up on defense. More Than a FanNice article. I agree, the Zips are playing "lazy" D as of late. Not the entire team, but most. I suspect the defensive energy will be high AT HOME tonight. Rock the JAR! Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Nice article. I agree, the Zips are playing "lazy" D as of late. Not the entire team, but most. If 1 out of 5 doesn't play D, the whole 5 look bad. Quote
Zipmeister Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Nitro finishes with more points than turnovers, Zips win by 14. Quote
skip-zip Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Cap'n I'm glad you aren't worried. I agree Hipsher lost the team regularly, but I felt like the first time it really happened was that year we lost to Can't in the tourney at home. If you are suggesting the OU loss was a just a loss I am going to need some of what you are smoking. Akron was dominated by OU and beaten worse than I can remember. They were completely out of the game. It will be interesting o see if they can bounce back tonight. I can't imagine if they lose anyone will have confidence in a win at Can't. It's a hard one to just blow off, for sure. The way we lost our desire, and the way a certain player flat-out gave up, was troubling to me. Time to get it together tonight and end the drama of who will win the MAC regular season title. Then take our chances that we can find a way to play two good games in a row in the tournament. Go Zips ! Beat Canada ! Quote
GP1 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 None taken.The loss the other night reminded me of one of my favorite Henry Hill quotes.QuoteThe way I saw it, everybody takes a beating sometime. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 None taken. Of course you wouldn't take offense. You read the post in its entirety and understand the complete message. But there are some who focus only on a tiny, fragmented "sound bite" and ignore the other 98%. Those people are a struggle to enlighten. But we forge onward... Quote
MDZip Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Other than a traveling call, nice start by Nik on senior night. Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Treadwell is a beast on the boards. Quote
akronzips71 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 The usual crappy refs. Need Tree and Zeke in at the same time. And ZEKE STAY IN THE PAINT. TOO MANY EASY LAYUPS. Quote
MDZip Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Great to see Brett drop in a three on senior night too. Quote
akzipper Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 So we're going to finish the season 0-3? fan-freaking-tastic! Way to go Akron Just gave away my MAC tournament tickets, not worth it! Quote

I know we haven't played great tonight, but we just took the lead with 5 minutes to go...You might be overreacting. Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 I know we haven't played great tonight, but we just took the lead with 5 minutes to go...You might be overreacting. Not overreacting...this team is done. We are probably the 4th best team in the MAC at this point after Can't slaughters us Friday. Quote
bUAkronG Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 It probably won't mean much at this point, but the white haired ref is having an awful go of officiating today. I still have faith in this team, they seem to play excellent in the Q. Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 This team makes me sick right now. This team is young...being 1-3 going into Can't = 1-4 and a first round exit from the MAC tourney. Quote
zipsfan13 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 This team is young...being 1-3 going into Can't = 1-4 and a first round exit from the MAC tourney. I totally agree. This team has absolutely no confidence right now and it shows. It would be nice if anyone on the team would use their head when they play. Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 The team has no leadership and right now, no confidence either. The officiating didn't help, but we made enough unintelligent plays that I am not even about to blame this one on the referees. I was hoping we'd win tonight for the sake of getting the 20th D-1 win of the season as well. Quote

The officiating didn't help, but we made enough unintelligent plays that I am not even about to blame this one on the referees. I will. We had lots of bad play tonight, but our good spurts were always interrupted by a phantom foul call or a no call on Buffalo. When you're talking four points, it makes a difference. Akron didn't deserve to win tonight, but they would have won, in my opinion, with a good set of refs. Quote
Derrt Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Not to say I don't have faith in making it to the Tournament, I am more prepared for a NIT appearance Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Not to say I don't have faith in making it to the Tournament, I am more prepared for a NIT appearance If we lose at Can't and UB beats BUGS, we aren't even guaranteed the NIT. Shit just got real. Quote
MDZip Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Disappointing but not devastating. Zips fate is still in their hands. Can't did us a favor by eliminating the Bongcats from beating us out of a top seed so even with a complete collapse and a Buffalo win over BGSU, the Zips still have a top two seed. I'm also worried but the sky is not falling yet. We've gone into the MAC tourney in a lot worse shape than this (even if we do drop to the two seed). Quote
zipsfan13 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Not to say I don't have faith in making it to the Tournament, I am more prepared for a NIT appearance The only way they'll make the NIT is if BGSU beats Buffalo at Buffalo on Saturday because there's no chance they'll beat Can't if they keep playing like this.
