Blue & Gold Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I want K.e.nt. I'm bringing a group of 15! Go Zips! Quote
The Hip Zip Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I don't think they will given the aforementioned fatigue factor, but a Buffalo win tonight earns them the title of best #8 seed the MAC has ever seen. I don't see Regan having another game like yesterday for the rest of this tourney though. No he won't ever, that's how bad and slow Ball State was. I told my wife the guy gets 30 tonight and may not have 7 against k ent . The F lashes are far from a defensive power though. Quote
The Hip Zip Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Here's to hoping for FIVE overtimes tonight in the Buffalo Can't State game! may not need that to tire them out... both are poor defensive teams and there should be a quick paced, up and down the floor type game Quote
Quickzips Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 may not need that to tire them out... both are poor defensive teams and there should be a quick paced, up and down the floor type game With Alex I would agree with you, but I'm not sure Melo is ready to run an up-tempo type of game. Plus it is tournament time, and in the tournament games tend to slow down and play at a little lower score. For my money, I'm rooting for Buffalo. I don't believe that they can win 4 games in 5 days (at least one going into overtime) with that roster. Just too much to ask of McCrae. Watching them so far tonight you can already see some fatigue as they are way off from the 3 line. Quote
originalrowdy Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Posted March 14, 2013 Can't and, surprisingly, Buffalo both look good early on. Nice ball movement, both teams driving and not settling for outside shots, tough on the boards. My guess is the fatigue will set in late first half, or in the second half. Quote
MDZip Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Of course following only the play by play gives you interesting things like this: GOODSON,DARREN GOOD GOOD by GOODSON,DARREN Don't know where he came from but he is definitely added a dimension to Holt and Evans. 7 points already. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Why would you let Tony Watson fire away from 3? Down the stretch, he has been crazy from behind the arc. Quote
originalrowdy Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Posted March 14, 2013 Buffalo looks like they are playing for a larger purpose here. Almost as if this is their year. I'm scared. Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Buffalo looks like they are playing for a larger purpose here. Almost as if this is their year. I'm scared. They scare me too, but I have a really hard time believing that they can beat Akron all while playing their 5th game in 7 days. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I'll admit, U@B reminds me a little of the Akron squad that beat the Bulls in the 2009 championship game. The Zips struggled to win their 1st game that year, just like the Bulls barely squeaked by CMU earlier this week. I'm not ready to say they'll win tonight yet though. Quote
akronzips71 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Either way, we are going to play one of the two teams that beat us this year. That sort of stinks, too bad we could not draw NIU for the semis. Quote
Dr Z Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 It always surprises me when a fan of a team wants to play an easy team to win something. I want the best! Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 It always surprises me when a fan of a team wants to play an easy team to win something. I want the best! I would be happy playing the best in the NCAA tourney. Nobody in the MAC is the best. I want to get to the tourney first and then I am all about playing the best. Besides, we are the best in the MAC. We can't play ourselves. : ) Quote
akronzips71 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 This is a great game. Both teams will be drained after this one. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Great performance by Chris Evans -- 23 points and 15 rebounds with a minute left. Quote
originalrowdy Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Posted March 15, 2013 This is a HOT HOT HOT Can't team we are playing tomorrow. Beating them would be great preparation for a tough OU squad. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Can't will not be worn out by this game. They will just be warmed up. The Zips may come in a little cold. All the Zips have to do is play two halves like the second half at the JAR last week. I expect the Zips to play two halves better than last week's second half. They've had a full week now to put their best PG option together. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow night's game. Quote
zippy5 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Anyone know which side the Akron fans will be on tomorrow? Buying my tix now, figured I'd stay away from the pee-yellow. Quote
The Hip Zip Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Great performance by Chris Evans -- 23 points and 15 rebounds with a minute left. He simply took over the game in the late going... All those drives to the hole ain't gonna pay off on Friday though. I like our chances Quote

With all due respect Dave, what about this season gives you the impression that we are going to play two halves better than last week's second half? This team may well win, but I'm not counting on two full halves of good basketball from them. I gave up on that ship a long time ago. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Just a hunch. I could be wrong, but I think this team has more to give than what we've seen to date. Quote
GP1 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Just a hunch. I could be wrong, but I think this team has more to give than what we've seen to date. I agree. CK uses the Boston analogy. I would like to use the Charlie Batch analogy when discussing our point guard problems. Last year, Charlie Batch started and lost to a bad Cleveland team. One week later, he beat the future Super Bowl champion in the Ravens. A player can really get up to speed in one week. I look for better guard play this week. Quote
Zips Win! Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Should be fun tomorrow! Not my idea of fun. Buffalo had a real shot and McCrea was terrible down the stretch. Needed to bury them when they had a chance. Can't was 3-15 from the three line and still won... Quote
