LZIp Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 Decided to check out Oregon St's games so far. They really haven't beaten anyone besides Maryland (7-4). Other wins come over Portland, SIU-Edwardsville, Arkansas Pine Bluff, Maryland- Eastern Shore, and Towson. They have a season opening loss to Coppin St (yes the Coppin St we beat by 28 last season). Coppin St is 4-5. They were without Devon Collier for that game and will be without Eric Moreland for our game. Moreland appears to be pretty decent as he basically averaged a double-double last season. They also lost to Depaul. Quote
Dave in Green Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 @Dr Z, just ignore TeamRankings then and rely on another source you can find that's consistently more accurate. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 Oregon State is the worst team in the PAC-12, but that's still good enough to make them a dangerous team on occasion. I think they're slightly better than Detroit. I see our biggest problem coming from their 6'4" guard Roberto Nelson, but I think Q can neutralize him on defense. We really need to avoid turnovers and play with confidence. Quote
tbeor67 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 I look forward to watching the game with my son (always nice to be on national tv). We simply have to win this game no excuses. We have to start winning these types of games in order to start getting enough respect to even be mentioned for an at large bid (no this won't get us one but it's a step in the right direction). I'm a long time reader who finally decided to start posting. Go Zips Quote
ZachTheZip Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 Love the writing...hate the layout... That layout is horrendous. Quote
Dave in Green Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 TeamRankings has changed their odds of the Zips winning from 76% to 58.5%. Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 TeamRankings has changed their odds of the Zips winning from 76% to 58.5%. These guys seem to think that we will get blown out. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/12/2...ml#.UrdYqLQ6IQs Quote
ZachTheZip Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 These guys seem to think that we will get blown out. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/12/2...ml#.UrdYqLQ6IQs A newspaper from Charlotte writing about a game between Akron and Oregon State that's being played in Hawaii. Clearly the most authoritative source of basketball predictions you could ask for. Quote

Clearly the most authoritative source of basketball predictions you could ask for. The article was just in the charlotte observer. They didnt write the story. These guys did.... http://www.sportsnetwork.com/ Quote
Dave in Green Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 @Zipgrad01, it's funny that the odds section of sportsnetwork.com shows the Zips as 2.5 point favorites. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 Is anybody watching the Iowa State/George Mason game? How does tomorrow's competition look? Quote
Staton14 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 Is anybody watching the Iowa State/George Mason game? How does tomorrow's competition look? Iowa St. looks solid but nothing amazing. They can be beat with a good game from either Akron or Oregon State (Hopefully Akron). Quote
lance99 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 For those listening to the game: Is it just me, or does French sound terrible? Quote
ZachTheZip Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 For those listening to the game: Is it just me, or does French sound terrible? I can't listen to the game, but I know that French wasn't able to call the last game. Maybe he's still not 100%. Quote
Zipmeister Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 Come on Zips. Let's put a licking on the Beavers. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 KD's gotta channel Ward Cleaver! Quote
zippy5 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 Come on Zips. Let's put a licking on the Beavers. Well played Quote
GoZips88 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Posted December 23, 2013 LeBron reference just prior to tip-off. Quote
MDZip Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 Helluva beginning, 10-0 to start the game. How you like us Prez? Quote
ZachTheZip Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 10-2 at the first media timeout. Not too bad so far, but the Zips really need to keep up the pressure on defense. Quote
MDZip Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 Just saw some serious defense from Nick Harney and Evans is on fire! Edit: And then two quick dumb fouls from Harney. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 Evans is on FIRE right now! Was just about to post that exact thing. Quote
Balsy Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 These announcers have been incredibly anti-Akron. Quote
