Quickzips Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Zips didn't deserve to win this one. I think at one point they were about 8 of 25 from the free throw line. That is pitiful. Even Shaq and Ben Wallace would have been laughing at us for that performance at the line.Very nearly a total waste of Reggie's huge game.Not feeling very good about this one. The W is nice, but we should have won this one by double figures, easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJGood Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 When was the last time a Zips player scored more than 30? I know Romeo had 30 in 2007 against BG but McAdams had 31. Who is the last to do it? Has it happened in the Dambrot era? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlandchip Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Nice win by Akron. That had to be the worst first half of basketball I have seen the Chips play this season. How we ever got so close at the end is beyond me. We had a number of players sleep walking through this one. The thing that really is disappointing to me is CMU does not get Akron in Mt. Pleasant this season. CMU had three of its first four on the road and came away 2-2 which is not too bad. Now they have three of the next four at home. I am expecting at least three wins in that series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I was right. Chips didn't score 100. But they did score 52 freaking points in the second half after just 24 in the first! It was a game of halves. The Zips deserved to win because they won their half bigger with brilliant defense. Free throw shooting was obviously a disaster tonight. Hard to believe the Zips hit 86.7% of their free throws just a couple of games ago in Toledo. Just as bad was the Zips inability to handle the inbound pressure the Chips put on them near the end of the game. I thought the Zips were better at handling the press this season, but the Chips sure gave them fits. They really need to work on that as other teams are going to watch this game tape.Reggie was obviously the offensive star. Looking a little deeper into the stats, when was the last time Jake and Reggie led the team in rebounds (8 and 6 respectively)? The Zips 43-32 rebounding edge was critical to winning this game, as was the edge in blocked shots, 6-0. The Zips needed every bit of that to overcome their poor free throw shooting and late-game ball handling problems and defensive lapses. Fortunately they built just enough of a lead with their nicely executed first half to hang on for the win. CMU is a pretty good team that will challenge Toledo and WMU in the West.

Dave in Green Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Like I said, I read that this morning, I didn't calculate it While I love my Zips, I'm not willing to manually put together a stat like that. Not my passion. If I ever run across it, I'll post. I would guess it's not far off the original 129-137 stat since the majority of games belong to Dambrot. I know you didn't calculate it and I would never accuse you of not loving the Zips. I thought you could help us solve the mystery by letting us know where you saw that stat. I'm with you in not being willing to manually put together a stat like that! Someone somewhere with access to a database just did a computerized numbers sort to get it.By the way, the majority of total games won and lost may belong to Coach Dambrot, but the majority of losses belong to Hipsher. Anyway, the raw stat has little meaning without some perspective. What kind of record against only winning teams do other teams have over that many seasons? Is the Zips record above or below average compared with other teams? Maybe someone will stumble upon a source that calculates such arcane stats for all teams and we can gain more perspective. Until then I'd consider it a throwaway stat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I noticed last game that Reggie was hitting the offensive boards. It is great how competition for minutes can get a player to elevate his game. Reggie has basically been a sub this year and lately averaging 15 minutes a game as Aaron Jackson and BJ Gladden have been getting more minutes. I think it is amazing that a 15 minute player scored 31 points. He was perfect from 2 point land making 4 of 4 and 6 of 9 from 3 point land. I really like the fact that he is taking shots inside the arc and going to the offensive boards.He played 23 minutes tonight and Gladden and Jackson only combined for 11 minutes. I wonder if this will carry over to the next game.If Reggie can turn into a consistent double digit scorer this will really help the team.Although this team almost choked up this game, you must give credit to Evans for hitting the big 3 and Biji for making foul shots at the end of the game. The crowd was really into the game and I thought it was great with the Reggie chant when he hit 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Turns out the stat mystery is pretty easy to solve if you enter the right search terms into Google. Just go to Google search and type in the following terms:129-137 akron 1997 basketballThe first hit that pops up is statfox.com with handicapping for tonight's UA-CMU game.A quick look at CMU shows that they are 63-173 since 1997 when playing against a team with a winning record, way below the Zips record as expected.Since Can't is generally acknowledged as the MAC powerhouse over the last couple of decades, I went to the handicapping for tonight's Can't-OU game to see how the Flushes have done against winning teams since 1997. Unfortunately, since they were playing a team with a losing record (OU), the handicapping only showed how Can't has done against teams with losing records since 1997.But, since Can't has a winning record, it did show how OU has done since 1997 against teams with winning records -- 123-148. So the Zips top OU in that stat even with the Hipsher era factored in. Next time Can't plays a team with a winning record, statfox.com will show us how Can't has fared against teams with winning records since 1997.As far as I can tell statfox.com doesn't post an accessible list of what all teams have done against teams with winning records since 1997.And that's a wrap from stat central.

dirtyolcrowe Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 great game! we almost gave it away! I'm interested to know how many 1&1's we have converted this season. It seems every time we get a 1&1, we can't convert. i know everyone is gonna talk FT......especially Walkman guy and Capt Obvious and his wife. Looking at their little phones and spitting out stats. "we're 38%..(another missed FT), now we're 35%" I mean Come On dude! You're not Doug Gottlieb. We won the game!!!! See you on the 27th.

K92 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 My apologies also. Glib, I have no moral high ground to stand on. I have said many things on this board which I regret.

I have never said anything negative about any individual fan on this forum. It would be different if any of us said negative things about certain fans but nobody did. Go back and read my 83 posts and find one where I was negative about Walkman Guy...it was all in good fun, Mister Perfect 2,310 post guy!
