GJGood Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 With so much youth having to play for both teams, what should we expect? Anybody know a great deal about the Trojans this year? Who do we think the winner will play next? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Young Trojans favored by 2. Hustlebelt Q&A"USC really needs to work on holding on to the basketball, committing 40 combined turnovers in the first two games. Especially for a young team that features no seniors, just one role-playing junior and two freshmen in the starting lineup, the Trojans' have to play smart. I think we saw the best and worst of what USC can do this season. Andy Enfield's squad can run up and down the floor, but they will always get in their own way."

ziptrumpet87 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Turnover problems, eh? Hopefully Noah and Antino can get quite a few steals and turn them into points or assists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Up 17-9 early on. Looking good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Pat is having an excellent game. The lack of Tree's 9 boards is going to hurt us. KWAN is looking better and better, he is going to be a monster player as a senior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nice half. We drew a perfect opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nice arena. Big Zips fan turnout. One ref making obvious (to front row spectators) bad calls to both teams equally, so no problem. Zips very balanced and calm. No drama on court or bench.

lance99 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I just started to listen. Are the Zips on one of their patented scoreless streaks, even being up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I just started to listen. Are the Zips on one of their patented scoreless streaks, even being up?Not at all. Kwan and Robo are scoring machines today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akronzips71 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Now he has the second team in there, and he has to pull them back out. Antino and BJ are NOT ready for a lot of minutes yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 This just became typical KD. Pull the guys with the hot hand. Dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I just started to listen. Are the Zips on one of their patented scoreless streaks, even being up?Yes. I understand you. They only scored 2 points in a 6 minutes span between the 10th minuet and the 4 minute mark in the 1st. I'm sure that's when you turned it on. Fortunately USC was unable to take advantage.Aaaaand as I type, they are going through another scoreless streak.8-0 draught, followed up by an 8-0 run. Up and down. ESPN keeps showing the Zips crowd. Looks good. I don't recognize any ZN members yet...Who is #34 for the Zips? I don't remember him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsjunkie330 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 That is a good win for the Zips! It's obviously tough to lose your best player but it was nice to see them step up and win by 20 while not shooting well.Now hopefully they can play well against Miami (most likely) tomorrow.

Big Zip Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think USC is probably not a very good team but I did like the way the team played today. I particularly thought Forsythe looked as good as I've seen him in a Zips uniform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre22era Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Well how about that!We have a nice quality non conference win on the books fellas.Hell of a response from a young team on the road. Proud Alum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think USC is probably not a very good team but I did like the way the team played today.USC was as advertised, young and sloppy. I agree with you though, the Zips had a built in excuse to lose. Instead, it looked like an energized team with something to prove. If they can play with a chip on their shoulder, they might continue to be fun to watch. How do we solve our continued offensive dry spells? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooYahoo Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 It's nice to see a team play as a team. And we don't miss Tree's acrobatic shots in double and triple teams, not knowing how to throw out of those. Have to stay consistent. Great win!

Proud AlumHopefully the young USC team gets better throughout the year and helps us when selection times begin (although based on the our soccer team's RPI the NCAA will do whatever they want ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can win a lot of games with those characteristics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
