The Hip Zip Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I hate to say this because I am normally reserved and grounded but I can see us really taking it to them from the get-go tonight. I think a 14- 20 point win is more than possible. Before Pollard went down I thought K S U was really over achieving and would be a really, really tough out. They just have not been the same though since the OU game when he broke his foot. Needing OT to dispatch W Mich on their own floor is not an indicator of a team in good current form. As long as we hold our poise and keep Hall from really going off, Zips by 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I thought Buffalo did a great job stopping Big Dog in the first half last week and stifled our offense when we were not making our 3 ball early in the game. I am hoping that Big Dog scores early and often in the first half. He played extremely well in the 2nd half going 33 minutes. His endurance has improved dramatically. The key to our offense is getting the ball to the post and letting Big Dog and hopefully Pat work their magic. The open 3 point looks come when we play inside out. Our last 2 trips to Kent were decided in the last second. I think this is another game that will come down to the last possession hopefully with a Zip win. Would love to see the Zips blow out Kent but find it hard to predict since this is an away rivalry game. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Duke shorthanded at UNC.. With that said, hope we come out and smoke them from the get go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we build a lead early, we will inevitably go on some sort of drought and allow Kent back in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I will be sitting in the lovely MAC Center bleachers and as much as I hope to carry a nice double digit lead throughout the game, I know there will be those "the sky is falling" moments of anxiety. All in how we stop the dribble drive and who gets into foul trouble. Doubt we will see a traveling call all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) and why is Kwan starting over Big Dog? Nobody to board. Appreciate the effort, but he just can't stop a true 5. Edited February 19, 2016 by LZIp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Layups are hard. And 1's are not. So far, I like the flow of the game. I think we've made some early, jittery mistakes, but Can't hasn't capitalized well. Get the bugs figured out now, and put a whoopin' on em later.

Z.I.P. Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Here's what I want to know: Why, after Big Dog's basket, does ESPN3 go to a commercial for a mattress company in Los Angeles?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Nice broadcast and reasonably good game so far. Kudos to ESPN for at least a little bit of research. Liked the segment they did with Reggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdt1420 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 We don't contest baskets in the lane, and when we do it takes help defense and we give up the offensive rebound. Time me to start chuckin 3333333's. Where's josh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 When you rely on the deep ball so much for your offense and they aren't falling, this is what's going to happen. We need to hold kent to 1 shot and need to hope our shots begin to fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Cold from 3 so far. Hit a few and get the confidence going. Need to play better defense, too many chances around the rim for KSU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Nothing in transition. A missed rebound really turned the game around. It's never easy for Zips. Teams always raise their game for us. These black uniforms don't bring good luck. Should have hauled out the Purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
