Dave in Green Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 You guys are lucky you didn't get to see the Zips' early shooting display that those of us at the JAR suffered through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it was done by a kid in China, it would work!We got audio on the stream for about a minute, now the feed is just completely gone.No wonder ESPN didn't want any part of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Horrible sloppy game.BUTI think we have a point guard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I know it's exhibition, but one thing really stuck out at me tonight....It appeared that the offense consisted mostly of passing the ball around until we could get it to Tree in the post, or someone launching a long jumper. It seemed like there wasn't much in between. And certainly not anyone else in the post that we really looked to. I sure hope we get comfortable with some other things very soon But it got me thinking....I know I've said for years that Quincy was really the only guy who could penetrate and finish at the rim. I hope we have some other perimeter players come along who can do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Although Rochester is an NAIA team playing at a lower level than the Zips, they came in with the benefit of having already played 6 games this season and primarily played upperclassmen who've been playing together for several years. So their teamwork was much more polished than the Zips, who had 2 true and 2 redshirt freshmen playing more than a third of the minutes.Ugly stats time: 20-60 (33,3%) from the field, 5-29 (17.2%) on 3s and 10-22 (45.5%) on free throws.Impressive stats time: Noah played 31 minutes as a true freshman in his first college (exhibition) game and had only 2 turnovers along with 2 assists (hard to get assists when your teammates aren't hitting their shots). Antino had 2 assists and 1 turnover in 16 minutes and caused several turnovers with his pesky defense. So the two true freshmen who will likely be running the point for the Zips for the next 4 seasons combined for just 3 turnovers in a combined 47 minutes.Beyond the stats, it was evident from the flow of the game that things are going to be different this season. The way Noah and Antino ran the offense created more open shots than we were used to seeing last season, even if the Zips were having a hard time knocking down open looks. There will be growing pains for sure, and no doubt some frustrating performances, especially early in the season. But the PG position has definitely been upgraded over last season.Big Dog was held out of the game as his wrist continues to heal but is expected to be able to play sometime in the next few games. Deji was also kept out with a dislocated finger. And, finally, Coach Dambrot was away due to an illness in his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 The good news: I think we have a point guard. Few mistakes, good passes, they did miss a lot of open shots. The key is getting open shots. We have potential.The REALLY good news?TREE HAD A HORRIBLE GAMEHmmm, 11 points and 14 boards?Can't wait till he has an average game!

The key is getting open shots. We have potential.The REALLY good news?TREE HAD A HORRIBLE GAMEHmmm, 11 points and 14 boards?Can't wait till he has an average game!I think the only thing you need to worry about with him is his growing tendency to force shots in the paint. Maybe he feels he needs to take over, as other reliable low post options have dwindled in the last couple of years. He's going to increasingly continue to get blanketed down there, in which case he needs to improve on his decision making...and others need to pick up the slack. I don't want to bring up the disaster in the 2nd half against WMU in March, but it's a great example of what can happen to us if Tree is determined to take shots, regardless of the situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 NR14 had better learn how to effectively get through a simple pick play, or I see a lot of open looks for the Zips opponents. The team I watched last night does not have the look of an NCAA tourney team so many ZN members are picking. I liked some of the ball movement I saw, now we just need someone hit a shot.

ZachTheZip Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 With Deji sitting due to injury, this might be the youngest backcourt the Zips have ever fielded for a game. Nyles Evans was ice cold last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 It looked like a bunch of true and redshirt freshman playing without a coach. And that's what it was.Hopefully the youngsters catch on quickly, or Tree will blow a fuse in mid-December.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
