mivid12 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 it's an embarassment....haven't seen one play start to finish sans cutting out and quite frankly i'm pissed about it...watched the NIU feed without one single stoppage....good luck tonight zips cause i won't see it Quote
ZachTheZip Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 You're better off not seeing it. This is a disgrace. Quote
akzipper Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Never seen the Zips play this bad Doesn't help that Buffalo is shooting 99.9% from the field. Quote
akronzips71 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 I wish it wasn't working. The NIU feed was very very good. Quote
Wally B Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 8:00 1st UB 30 UA 10 And to think I was going to post a thread about overlooking Buffalo today...... If this game is a test, it's a test of our own making..... Quote
akronzips71 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Without Tree we might was well forfeit. So of course he takes Tree out! If we can get this down to single digits at the half it is not over. No one shoots 90% for an entire game. And Buffalo has been taking horrible shots, and they just keep dropping in. Quote
Wally B Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 34 - 22 @ 3:50 mark.... Manageable now, they seem to have woken up! Quote
akronzips71 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 The fat lady has not sung KE NT up 1 with 4 remainig Quote
MDZip Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Akron goes on a 21-7 run to come within 6 at the half. Very winnable game now. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 I guess we just felt like spotting Buffalo about 20 points to keep it fair. Quote
akzipper Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Gonna need to make a run in the 2nd half. Hopefully Buffalo goes cold. Quote
MDZip Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Can't State missed a last second shot. OU wins. Quote
MDZip Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Back to within 1! Hey, is this the official game thread? Quote
akronzips71 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Back to within 1! Hey, is this the official game thread? This is the official I am having a heart attack thread. Maybe time for Zeke and Pat F on the floor at the same time to own the inside. Quote
UAZips Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Has the roof blown off the JAR? How is the crowd? Quote
akronzips71 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 What the hell is with the stall?? 35 second violation up 4 with under 2 minutes. Come on, that was as stupid as it ever gets and will be the play that costs us the game if we lose. Quote
akronzips71 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 I just started breathing again. WOW. Down 20 points. One of the great comebacks. Quote
MDZip Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Nice crowd over 5,000 to see the Zips win a tight one. Unbelievable comeback. An 18-0 run helps a lot when you're down by 12. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 That was one of those games that certain Zips fans were expecting when they said we would blow a few before the tournament. And without a doubt, previous Zips teams would not have been capable of coming back like that. Buffalo shot like the rim was 10 feet wide in the first half. It was definitely "one of those games", but we pulled it out. Games like that happen from time to time, where a bad team suddenly hits all their shots, no matter how terrible they look. Games like that are flukes, but it is dangerous to be on the receiving end of that. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 We're in the position where we are going to get everyone's best shot. We need to realize that. Quote
Dave in Green Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Coming back from 20 down teaches a team that they're never out of it. This will pay dividends later in the season if the Zips get way down in a critical game. Buffalo came out aggressive and the refs didn't call the first foul on them until past the midway point of the first half. That and every ball hitting net gave them huge confidence early. Great move by Coach Dambrot to go to the zone defense. Buffalo acted like they'd never seen one before and couldn't figure it out. Absolutely love the way Kretzer hustles on every play. He was everywhere, tipping the ball away, saving it from going out of bounds, rebounding his own missed shot, hitting a pair of huge 3s. Never thought I'd see Coach Dambrot leave a true freshman in the game during crunch time. Kretzer is as close to Nate Linhart as any Zips player I've seen in a long time. Absolutely hated the tech on Zeke for hanging on the rim. He was hanging because the Buffalo players mauled him as he went up for the dunk. Two minutes earlier a Buffalo player hung on the rim at the other end even longer, and no T. BS. Quote

zippy5 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Attendance was 5,400. The JAR was as loud as I've ever heard it. Quote
