zipdiehard Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Is everyone talking about the radio? ESPN2 switched over before our game even started. Quote
bUAkronG Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Posted March 14, 2012 You guys don't have the game on ESPN2 right now? Zips down 19-12, playing decent. Northwestern is hard to defend when they are hitting shots. Good thing is Zeke is playing real big right now. Gotta keep feeding him and play defense. Shots aren't falling right now. Now 22-12. Gotta step it up on defense. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Zips going to school tonight. Regardless of the final score, this is a good learning experience, especially for the less experienced Zips players. Quote

Our defense is terrible! Quote
bUAkronG Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Posted March 14, 2012 Wildcats are just hitting their shots right now. We are forcing them to hit jumpers and they are making them. They are 10-17 and we are 10-30. Quote
B4110 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 We're getting waxed on national teevee (again), and you think it's a good thing? Our defense is terrible! this is terrible. i cant stand to watch this stagnant offense. it is sickening. no wonder we are easily defended. Quote
Big Zip Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 If the team didn't want to play in the NIT they should have just stayed home...how embarassing. Quote
bUAkronG Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Posted March 14, 2012 Zips finish on a 7-0 run. Crawford is having his way with us right now though. Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Finishing the half on a 7-0 run was huge. We're still in this one. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 The good news is that even if some of the Zips fans quit on the team, the team is not going to quit. This game is still winnable. Quote
zestycoyote Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Happy to see the 7-0 run to end the half. Without Northwestern's hot 3 point shooting, this game looks totally different, score wise. If we can adjust to their offense (that I love, by the way), I think it'll be a close game in the second half. Other keys: 1. No more McClanahan. Ever. 2. More Zeke Marshall. He's done good work inside almost at will so far. And he's dunking more! 3. No more 3 pointers from the Serb. It just looks desperate. 4. Walsh needs to hit a couple 3 point shots. 5. More Diggs and Gilliam. Quote
phil Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 The Zips are playing hard. Look at how they are controlling the boards. NW is just making all of their jump shots. I don't think that can continue. We need to keep attacking them down low. Zeke looks tough. We need to make our shots in the paint. Hopefully we can come back in the 2nd half. Go Zips Quote

Go Zips The biggest difference right now is Crawford for NW. Unless we stop letting him have the open lane, he's going to go for 40. Quote
Big Zip Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 No excuses for getting beat off the like they have been in the first half. I expected to see missed assignments but some of these baskets are just blowing by our guys like they are standing there. Love to see some Zone with Zeke in the middle to swat away the driving layups. I am okay with making them make long jumpers but the guys need to get their arms up in the air -- they are offering little resistance. Hopefully first half was butterflys and they'll get that worked out now. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Standing around on long rebounds and fighting your own team for others. That's got to stop. Quote
akronzips71 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Standing around on long rebounds and fighting your own team for others. That's got to stop. Yes, two giant missed opportunities. Quote
bUAkronG Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Posted March 14, 2012 Anybody else think Drew Crawford looks a lot like Shaka?. Quote
GoZips88 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Damn it Nik. Don't shoot unless you're close enough to grab the rim. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Defense is much better! Must be on-the-job training Edit: they're figuring it out that it's all about OFF-THE-BALL defense and communication, especially against a team like this. Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Impressive second half thus far! Quote
