bigzipguy Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I am sure the effort was there, but too many injuries, young team, ect. Do the best they can in the MAC tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The turnovers were frustrating, but we clearly had some combinations of personnel on the floor at times that wouldn't have been there without the shortages. Sorry, but a technical from the bench with an 11 point lead in the 2nd half is just stupid. Strange night, and strange year. Too many bad breaks in one year.

1981 grad Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The Miami announcers were very accurate when they indicated that it was a very ugly first half. If the Zips were a good team they should have been up by 20. Miami could not score until one of our coaches gave them 2 points on a technical.You have to give credit to Kretzer and McAdams who scored a combined 23 points. However, Aron Jackson, Evans, and Kwan were only 2 of 14 and 0 for 8 from the 3 line. Once again we got killed at the line. We shot 6 of 13 and they shot 28 of 34. Our one guy who usually gets to the foul line, Deji, only played 15 minutes because of foul trouble. Very disappointing game from a fan perspective. We blew a 10 point lead in the second half and our offense looked pathetic the last 8 minutes of the game again. Big Dog could not pass from the double team and had 6 turnover. I do not understand why KD cannot design a set play to get these guys easy looks in the last 5 minutes. After the time out, the best we could do was Antiono going one on one and shooting a 15 foot jump shot.I am assuming that this makes the Can't game meaningless on Friday.

Balsy Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I am assuming that this makes the Can't game meaningless on Friday.Chance to go 2-0, and gain 1/2 point in the PNC wagonwheel challenge (the competition we've never won, because Can't is stupid and doesn't have a men's soccer team).

At least we'd make their potential tourney run a lot more difficult.Also, a win at Can't plus a win Monday gets them to 20 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Stat of the Game:We just lost to a team that shot 2 of 16 from 3-point range, including a whopping 0 for 5 from their "sharpshooter" Wil Sullivan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 How can a team with such immense talent, as I've been told, lose to lowly Miami twice? Oh, I've got it. Another coaching debacle by KD.It's not a fault of anybody. It's just been a year where virtually everything possible that could go wrong did go wrong. I'm probably the only one here that thinks this team did well this season given their youth and all the crap that's gone down recently. It happens to just about every program on occasion.I'm not about to be critical of anybody right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 That's a long drive home after a loss. Miami is not an easy matchup for the Zips even when they're healthy. Toward the end of the game, when the Zips were slowly falling behind, I fantasized how the following Zips lineup would have fared over the last few minutes:Pat Forsythe at center (out with an injury)Demetrius Treadwell at power forward (gone from the team)Nick Harney at small forward (gone from the team)BJ Gladden at shooting guard (out with an injury)Noah Robotham at point guard (out with an injury)The five Zips players above represent a ton of basketball talent. None of them were available to close out the Miami game, and it's questionable if either of the two still on the active roster make it to the Can't game. Teams have to adjust over the course of a season to the loss of a player all the time. Unluckier teams may lose two or even three at a time. Losing five players of that talent level is nothing less than catastrophic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
