Blue & Gold Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Rather lackluster start to this one. Where's Harney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Harney was in. Kretzer is really impressing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Rather lackluster start to this one. Where's Harney? Zips really have trouble carrying momentum from one game to another. But PSU has hit a lot of 3's so far. Another frustrating performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Might as well get used to the Zips playing their best ball in the second half. The Zips offense was adequate in the first half, and it's good to see Zeke leading the scoring with 10 points. But there's no excuse for allowing PSU to shoot its highest percentage of the season with their PG and best player on the bench. I expect to see the Zips buckle down and play a much better overall game in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Have been watching between the Browns/Cowboys and Zips/PSU game, but from what Ive been catching, seems Zeke is having a hell of a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 They need to keep Tree in the game. He is having a great game. Get him off the bench. And Melo is NOT ready to play in this league. He is hurting us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think they are telling us anything we dont already know. Unfortunately, our probably only chance to show we are a tournament team is by cutting down the nets at the Q.

akronzips71 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 And with Tree and Harney we would have won this tournament. Thanks for nothing NCAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I know KD likes beating teams with the 3 ball, but when you have a decided advantage over your opponents frontcourt you need to punish them down low early and often. Zips did that early in this second half and have turned up the defensive pressure. Good gameplanning coming out of the second half locker room.

LZIp Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 And with Tree and Harney we would have won this tournament. Thanks for nothing NCAA. Thats a little bit of a reach. We would have had to go through a team called NC State, or the preseason favorite in the ACC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickzips Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Penn State isn't a very good Big 10 team, but when you are putting your walk-ons in to close a game against a Big 10 team you have a pretty good squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 That suspension is just a shame. This team is awesome. Would have loved to see them take on NC State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Are things looking good for you now? Yes definitely played well for the 2nd half. Penn State can't use any excuses, sorry. I don't care if their PG was hurt, they lost by 25 points. We had to deal with 2 suspensions, Abreu's injury, and Diggs for the entire year. No sympathy from us...

ZachTheZip Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Some PSU arrogance, courtesy of ESPN's game conversation. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 This team can play with anyone and should get to the Dance and win a game or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I wouldn't read too much into this. PSU is a very bad team. We'll know a lot more about how good we are when we play MTSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still a Big Ten team, which has a lot better recruiting record than the MAC. And two blowouts in a row. And we could have, would have, should have won that first game. Just Tree would have done it, one more rebound, one more point in regulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 For perspective on how good or bad these teams are, the following is taken from the current Pomeroy rankings of all 347 D1 teams: 68. Middle Tennessee 74. Akron 89. Penn State Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Tennessee 74. Akron 89. Penn State Does not matter. A MAC team clobbered a Big Ten team. Not beat. Destroyed. Along with the total destruction of UNC the other day. In my opinion, we are very very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
