Staton14 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 Man, Big Dog can really pass the ball. Quote
Staton14 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 Also, Robotham is really good. Just stating facts here haha Quote
Staton14 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 Miami is heating up but we're hanging in there. Keep playing hard! Quote
GP1 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 It's very simple. Make wide open shots and we win. Quote
Dave in Green Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 Another good, noisy Zips crowd today. No major issues with the reffing. Miami is a great passing team. They move the ball around so fast the Zips defense has trouble keeping up. Zips offense started well with attacks from all directions. Miami defense adjusted and took away options. Halftime adjustments needed. NBA scouts in attendance. Pat's performance should be starting to register. Quote
GP1 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 sloppy start to the 2nd halfDidn't match intensity. Quote
zippyfan34 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 Big dog not having his best game at both ends Quote
Dave in Green Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 Zips not yet ready to take on a team of Miami's caliber. But they're good enough for a 20+ win season. Quote

Balsy Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 Folks I don't know what you expected. Like really? You think with a bunch of freshman that Akron recruits we're going to be able to contend with "BIG" programs? Please...enjoy the ride with these guys, it's going to be a fun couple of years. Quote

Please...enjoy the ride with these guys, it's going to be a fun couple of years.USC has had arguably more recent success than Miami. We slaughtered them. We were down, what, 5 at half? We can compete. I didn't "expect" them to lose by 28, and they shouldn't have. Miami probably won't be a tournament team. Quote
skip-zip Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 This one was easy to analyze. They had a lot of people who could drive to the basket, we collapsed and helped, and they were disciplined enough to have guys spread out for open shots. We don't have the horses to chase people like that for 40 min. Quote

I didn't "expect" them to lose by 28, and they shouldn't have. Miami probably won't be a tournament team.What I'm saying is that we have a young team. An extremely young team, without it's dominating senior. The quality of freshman recruit that Miami would have is still going to be an edge above our freshman recruits, and had their dominating upperclassman. Young teams wear out fast, I'm not surprised we lost in the second half. By 28? No...but it's not time to get on the "same ol' Zips" because seriously...what can we expect at this point with such a young team? This team is going to win a lot of games this season, and play exciting basketball. Enjoy the ride. Quote

Miami is just over one season removed from winning the ACC. USC finished dead last in the PAC 12 last season and 9th two seasons ago. Beating Miami would have been nice (expectations aren't high, but they have talent), but I don't think we should get blown out like that to anyone. I also think they will win this tournament and go dancing.Like I said last night, I expect growing pains. Really looking forward to Robotham and Antino Jackson the next 4 years. We have to keep the youth of the team without Tree in perspective (myself included). Quote
ZipGrad93 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 Miami just upset #8 Florida the other night. They are well balanced, and I think certainly a tournament team come the end of the season, even in the tough ACC. They got hot; we got caught up in their game a little bit and it got out of hand. That happens to young teams. The good news is that when we played our game, we competed very well with them. It's just hard to do that for 40 minutes against a superior opponent. The Zips will learn discipline and how to keep things from spiraling out of control as the season goes on. I'm actually pretty happy at how we look right now, given everything that has happened with Tree. We'll make some noise in the MAC for sure.All that said, the one thing we really shouldn't do is lay an egg in the consolation game. Coming out of this tournament 2-1 would be a great start for the Zips. Quote
