skip-zip Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Where is the opportunity for the Zips fans to be together in a group if we are ordering randomly through these sources? Doesn't Akron have a "section" that can be purchased through Akron's ticket office? Edited March 14, 2016 by skip-zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I was lurking in an OSU fan forum and came a crossed this "OSU's opponents get 32.4% of their points from three pointers, putting the Bucks in 292nd place in defending the three. This is not a good match up playing the team who lives by the three ball more than any other." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good matchup potentially for us in that respect but I doubt we can win if we don't stop dribble penetration on defense. I think this game will be won or lost for Akron primarily on the defensive side. That is assuming we don't just shoot extremely cold from beyond the arc or have Big Dog get in foul trouble.

We haven't been able to prevent dribble penetration all season. We aren't going to suddenly start game 35 vs. 1 of the most athletic teams that we have faced all season. If that's your key to the game, we have already lost. We need to be able to put the ball in the net, limit our opposition to 1 shot per possession, and win the turnover battle. That is our only hope.

But since we haven't been shooting that well from outside the last few games I'm not sure how much of a factor that will be. Marc Loving seems like he could be a handful for us. Reggie and Jake are going to walk into Columbus and shoot the lights out. I hope anyways...This is their last post-season for the Zips, so there's extra motivation especially when playing the State Ohio University team.

skip-zip Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I see this as a game similar to the Buffalo game in some respects. We will be at a huge disadvantage in the rebounding department, and we will have to create a lot of turnovers to negate that disadvantage. Whether we can shoot well enough or not is never predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalapeño Zippy Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Getting ready to buy my tickets. I'm going to try and get in sections 106 or 107. That's behind the visitors bench.

tpsjugglerdude Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 If Big Dog wants to be one of the top centers next year like Dambrot said he can be, then he needs to show up and dominate on both sides of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I got section 123. I couldn't figure out how to select a specific section, so that's what they gave me.

That might be the best development I've heard yet. Especially since NIT games at the "big schools" are not anything they get too excited about. That place is big enough that any real "atmosphere" there might be pretty much nonexistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Interesting Observation: Ohio State is playing, so the local news in Cleveland seems to be giving us an incredible amount of attention. It does have me wondering if, from a local publicity standpoint, this game may have just as much value to us as an NCAA game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 LeBron is rooting for the Zips. Hope he is there wearing Zips gear. "Obviously I'm torn, You know, being a huge supporter of Ohio State, but I'm also a big supporter of my high school coach in Keith Dambrot. "He helped shaped me into who I am today as a basketball player, and it's where I'm from, so I'm going with the Zips for sure." Zips are five point underdogs This was on ESPN's front page (on the right side) this morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and in order to this he must stay out of foul trouble... I always worry about how games like this against "name" competition will be officiated, especially in a true road game.
