Diamond Head Classic - South Carolina

Double post.

Deji was playing amazing defense. Should be in the game.

[LZIp]

Deji giving some contributing minutes, Q playing very unselfish, and the refs are letting them play some. Can't complain too much.

Is Kretzer healthy? he didn't look like himself this whole season. If he's not feeling well, I think we're deep enough to sit him down.

Good question. I am really starting to wonder about this. Kretzer has killed us this entire tournament. He looks terrible.

South Carolina is absolutely terrible. There is no reason why we shouldnt be beating them by 15. We do not look sharp at all.

[ksu sucks]

We looked sloppy at times. We're good enough to take both games against this team.

[Balsy]

We look tired, more than anything. Both teams look as if they are just playing the game out. But we should be able to take these guys at their place, with 3 days to rest.

[Zipgrad01]

We look awful.

[LZIp]

at this point Deji deserves more minutes than Kretzer, IMO.

7/15 on foul shots. Same old Akron. Hard to win close games shooting from the stripe like that.

The 13 TO's and 2/9 on 3s don't help either.

[GP1]

This team is in mental LaLa Land.

[akronzips71]

Missing one layup after another. Sucks.

[bigzipguy]

Looks like we may be back to the KD favorite saying: "it comes down to 3 games at the Q in March" After the nice win against Beavers, a huge let down.

[Zipgrad01]

All of my expectations of this team are gone. We are absolutely terrible. It is hard to even sit and watch us play. The MAC has gotten a lot better and unfortunately, we have gotten much much worse. This team just seems too mentally fragile to compete for anything.

[GoZips88]

Tree looks whipped, not feeling well, or a mixture of both.

You guys are hilarious. Clearly we aren't playing well tonight, but get a clue. We are playing a decent team with good athletes on a neutral court. This team just destroyed St. Mary's the other day. Certainly not the way we'd like to play, but this is not season-ending by any stretch. Take a deep breath and go pour yourself another glass of eggnog.

EDIT: I take back my previous description of SC.

[bigzipguy]

Bad tounament for Jake

[LZIp]

had to look it up because I found it hard to believe there are many teams worse than us at FT shooting.

We rank 337 out of 351 teams at 61.5%

Decent team??? They are 3-6!!! They have lost 6 of their last 8 games. They lost to South Carolina Upstart and Boise just beat them by 26. They are AWFUL.

[LZIp]

South Carolina is anything but a decent team. They currently have the worst record in the SEC at 3-6. They are also without their leading minutes per game guy from last season in Bruce Ellington. He is currently with the football team. Regardless of the outcome of this one, I'll bet they get us at home as well. Better coach.

Like I said, go pour yourself another drink and take a DEEP breath. Merry Christmas!

[bigzipguy]

THEY ARE NOT GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We, however look terrible. Another second half melt down!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have fun if this is the crap basketball that you enjoy watching. I have a feeling you should be in for a long enjoying season of it.

You clearly didn't read what I wrote. WE WERE BAD TONIGHT, but my god, don't go jump off a bridge. Nothing went our way today. The sun will come up tomorrow and the team will get back at it and try to get better.
