GJGood Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 This is a HUGE game. I don't really know much about the Broncos this year other than the final scores of their games. What can we expect in Kalamazoo? What do we have to do better than usual to pull off an extremely tough road win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yes, this would be a tough one to win. But, wouldn't we be in really sweet shape if we win it? In my opinion, that would leave only Buffalo as a significant road challenge remaining the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJGood Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I agree, although it could be argued that the Zips have actually played better on the road than at home recently. I'm still worried about Ohio and Buffalo at home as well as the road contests at WMU and Buffalo. Heck, even NIU is looking better now than they have in recent years.It is certainly more of a guantlet this year than we have been accustomed to recently.

skip-zip Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I said this in another thread, but I just want us to grind it out until we get those last 3 home games to end the season.If we can somehow get to that point in a "control our own destiny" situation, I like our chances to win the regular season title again.

ZachTheZip Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 GT just tweeted that Harney is not practicing with the team today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hopefully a minor indiscretion for Nick that will result in no more than a minor suspension. Burning Kwan's redshirt doesn't look like such a waste right now. Nick's been averaging 21+ minutes per game, and a chunk of that PT is likely to go to Kwan. The starting lineup was likely to change against WMU anyway. Shayne Whittington (6-11, 250) is generally rated the best center currently in the MAC. Coach Dambrot was unlikely to go small against him. Pat will likely get the start at center with relief from Big Dog to try to shut down Whittington.

GJGood Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Never cared for it before but after the last twelve months I really hate the word 'indefinitely'. I am unclear as to whether this is a major thing or a reprimand costing him a game or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Zips 1.5 dogs for the game.It doesn't seem to have moved much, indicating the line was probably established with knowledge of Harney's suspension.WMU guard David Brown has scored 20+ the last 3 games and averages 18.7 per game. The Broncos have not had a true PG since Mike Douglas, so hopefully CM's defense can present problems for them if he stay out of foul trouble. Tava went off against Toledo in the 1st half of that season opening WMU 11 point win in K'Zoo. Broncos have generally been poor on the road and very good at home, although they managed to lose to BUGS. Frenchy has been pointing out their FT attempt disparity when they play at home. That could be an issue. Hoping Kwan plays a lot tonight. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The way Harney had been playing the past several games, I wish more Zips would be so detrimental to the team.Obie Kwan, you're our only hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Did I see that correctly on the feed? Walmart is a sponsor of the Broncos? Not the Zips??? We should boycott Walmart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Horrendous start for both teams. Zips leading 5-4 at 12:04 of the first half. Lots and lots of missed shots from both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Zips don't look great but WMU looks surprising awful considering they've been pretty good at home. Zips lead 19-7 at 6:25 of the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm always impressed with how "heads up" Big Dog plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Big Dog has the court vision of a point guard. Man can he pass. Great dish to the cutting Tree for a layup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziptrumpet87 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looks like if Big Dog and Jake can get it going in the 2nd half, it might be a blowout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 When Tree gets the ball under the basket he has 3 guys on him. We have Kretzer, Cheatham, and McAdams standing on the wing doing nothing. As I stated before our spacing is terrible. In the 2nd half, saw guys cutting to the basket. We got a layup. Good half time adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Game on. Score tied halfway through the second half. The overriding impression I'm getting from watching this game is that the Zips can't consistently win playing one-on-one. They really need to start playing more as a team.
