Big Zip Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 When a team plays as fast as VCU is playing how is you don't set picks all over the place and just run them into them? The most pathetic defensive effort I've seen all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 FIFTY POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, all we have to do is shut them out in the second half and we have a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 2nd half against OU was the best I've seen us play defense. This half against VCU is the absolute worst. I mean ever. Nobody is fighting through screens, we're slow on our rotations, weak close outs on shooters. Just terrible. VCU isn't doing anything all that creative. They are just beating us up all over the place. I can't believe that Zeke's senior season is going to end in a blowout like this, but I have little of any hope that we can turn it around. This is what happens when you come out against a good team and don't give 40 minutes of consistent effort. Only guy who is putting forth good effort at both ends right now is Tree, and he simply can't do it all. Zeke has had a few moments, Harney has had a couple. The rest of the team is brain dead out there right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsbandman Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 This high major talent we are facing here. We just don't have the horses. Hopefully we can make this somewhat of a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm shocked by how far we are from being competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Honestly I think if VCU starting tossing full court shots they'd make them all. Over 60% in the first half? Give me a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything vcu here has more energy...team,dance team,band..someone shoot me...damn and I still have to drive back to akron tonight..damn...someone start a next year thread...someday be like vcu..maybe the juco point guard and q can get us a win in the ncaa for once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandzip Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Surprise! The same posters who mysteriously disappeared all season during the winning streak are piling it on now. I guess if you keep predicting a loss every game then eventually you get to say I told you so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUAkronG Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 When a team plays as fast as VCU is playing how is you don't set picks all over the place and just run them into them? The most pathetic defensive effort I've seen all year. I was thinking the same thing. VCU is a great team. They ran out to a 25 point lead by shooting 61% and making us play their game. Who's to say we can't do the same thing? We are a good team, too. The first two minutes will define the remainder of the game. Show some fight.

zipdiehard Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 don't even know what to say. bet the Michigan fans are sweating. VCU beats them by double digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre22era Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Call me dumb but looking at our overall roster Excluding Abreu & a red shirt freshmen we have 5 other Guards on the roster. If none of them can handle the ball = why even have them on the roster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zip Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Not sure if you are watching on TV but we've gone from being on national tv to wishing we were on Tru TV since now everyone is making fun of the Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 We simply don't have the athletes on the wings to play with a team like this. Walsh, McAdams, Kretzer and Gilliam are just a step and a half two slow. Could really use Q and Alex right now, but I'm not even sure how much of a difference that would make.

zestycoyote Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Unless we come out with a big effort in the first 5 minutes in the second half, we're going to lose by 40. Sadly, I think Charles Barkley may have called it right when he said, "This game is O-V-E-R." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 No doubt in my mind VCU is a Final Four team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get mad at me for being negative, but seriously the Zips have ZERO CHANCE in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zestycoyote Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Well, at least the Abreu thing didn't end up being a very big deal. That's kind of a positive, right? ...Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game on CBS prime time for the world to see and the play by play guys said what happened to him.

Actually said marijuana It gets no worse than that Pull the team off the floor..we have no business being here evidently...national tv lose by the biggest margin today..I will pull for shaka to win it all. With all that's being said on our worst night of theyear..vcu is hitting at almost 70 percent...no one could have beat them tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Zip Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I appreciate Walsh being a gamer but he has looked beat since he stepped on the floor. How do the coaches not see that? Three missed threes that would have been better coming of Kretzer or McAdams hand. Please keep him on the bench the rest of the game...what are you saving your time outs for at this point - call at TO and pull the guy out.

akronzips71 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 They just can't miss. There is nothing you can do about that. And I think Zeke just got his 4th foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
