GoZips88 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Next up: Iowa State Cyclones Cyclone message board 4p ET pre-game on 1350AM 4:30p ET tip on ESPNU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Iowa State leads the country in scoring and assists. This will be a huge challenge for the Zips defense. They are a guard/wing oriented team with no one over 6'9" on their roster. The challenge is on for Diggs, McAdams, Deji, Kretzer and Harney tomorrow.

akronzips71 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I am just so happy that in the After Zeke year we can still play with the big boys. Not to get ahead of myself, but we could leave Hawaii with a 7 game win streak and victories over two undefeated teams including #17 That would be sweet.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Iowa State leads the country in scoring and assists. This will be a huge challenge for the Zips defense. They are a guard/wing oriented team with no one over 6'9" on their roster. The challenge is on for Diggs, McAdams, Deji, Kretzer and Harney tomorrow. Their 6'8" and 6'9" guys don't even play 10 minutes a game. Their tallest player with significant playing time is 6'7" (Tree's height).

LZIp Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 DeAndre Kane (Marshall transfer) is the guy I think we need to worry about the most. Should be a very interesting match up between him and Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 This team is ranked #17 right now. We have to worry about everyone. If the refs let us play we can win. Our style requires us to be allowed to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 This team is ranked #17 right now. We have to worry about everyone. If the refs let us play we can win. Our style requires us to be allowed to play. Both good points. The height advantage/disadvantage: With this particular Zips team, I'd be most afraid of a team that has a significant size advantage. A team that has great talent at guard and wing would appear to be a much easier team to handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I had the chance to go to a coaching clinic at Cuyahoga Heights a year ago, and it was a great experience. I had the chance to soak in lectures from Bob Knight, Brad Stevens, Shaka Smart, Matt Painter, Steve Prohm, Greg Kampe, Archie Miller, Ganon Baker, Tara Vanderveer, and Fred Hoiberg(Iowa State's head coach). Each had their own "agenda" on what they were going to use in their segment of the coaches' clinic. Hoiberg was showing a lot of their offensive sets and transition sets(yes, transition sets). I really wish I could find those sheets, and get them to Hawaii as soon as possible Hoiberg likes to have a tall, big, athletic player bringing the ball up for mismatched opportunities. I do remember that. Should be an interesting game. Will have to play better, but at least we finally got that win. Felt we let one get away against OK State, but finally a marquee win over the Beavers. Can't wait for today's matchup against the Cyclones. Probably the best team we will see all season(unless we make it to the NCAA tournament, then possibly a better opponent(MAYBE)). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontrealExposloveZippy Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 If anyone's looking for a place to watch the game today, come down to Scorcher's in the Valley. I'll have some good drink specials going for our Zips fans and half price burgers. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Zips are 6.5 point 'dogs. This guy says take the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle66 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I watched the game last night and always like hearing Dino Gaudio do games. He seemed to have good things to say about coach Dambrot, UA and the MAC. He is a MAC guy (Ohio grad) who used to be the head coach at Wake Forest. I also just heard him at the end of the Oregon State/George Mason game say that he expects to see both Akron and Iowa State in the NCAA Tourny.

Dave in Green Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Might as well get it said before the game starts. After the Zips' uncharacteristically fast start yesterday, I'm expecting a more typical start in this game. I won't be surprised if the Zips fall behind early and have to fight their way back.
