Its a thing of beauty when the shots are dropping. 

Especially when every single one is dropping

Is it a Hawkins requirement to have a weird looking white dude in the lineup every year?

"A"???

[Blue & Gold]

I like that the announcers knew our history  & credited Rome & Dru for turning the program around. They only forgot Jeremiah Wood.

Kwan is a beast. If only we had him for another year...

[zippy5]

One way to not miss many free throws is to make all your actual shots so you don't have to go to the line. I like the outside the box thinking

Thought there would be a little let up at the end of half.  Wasn't watching.  Assume Big Dog was resting the last few minutes of the half with two fouls.

Basically the whole B squad was getting some run.

Sure.  We were out of sync those last few minutes without him on the floor.

KD went to the bench early and is using a lot of players.  Probably our best shooting half, especially  from the 3 line.  However, there is no way we can continue at that clip.  A couple of the 3 balls toward the end of the half were rushed.  We still do a bad job keeping their guards from penetrating.  I am glad that Josh made some 3 balls but he needs to keep his man in front of him.  One time on a pick he did not stay with his man and he got an easy put back.  We still need to play D no matter how well we shoot the ball.  Most of our baskets have been from the outside.  Would like to see more inside scoring. One thing that is unusual tonight, inbound plays that work and lead to layups.  Where have they been all year?  I still think this game will get close.  I hope I am wrong.

As a typical downtrodden Zips fan, I will assume the refs will get more heavily involved and start calling some touchy fouls on us just to make things interesting.

2 quick fouls on Antino just to prove your point.

Wellllll....there's one thing that looks worse that empty blue seats-  empty gold seats.

[Blue & Gold]

I don't like the Noah & Josh combo.

[Blue & Gold]

I LOVE the Antino & Ivey combo.

[Blue & Gold]

That Poke block was like a volleyball spike!! ?

[Blue & Gold]

Soooo... is Big Mike still eligible for a medical redshirt?

[LZIp]

Excellent first half, uneventful second has as expected. Get the starters out and lets get ready for Buffalo.

[LZIp]

I dont normally complain about refs but these guys have gotten REALLY trigger happy with the fouls.

I think we are in "win now" mode with Kwan and Big Dog as seniors.  I expect us to give Mike another week or two off and then get him to where he is giving us 5-10 minutes a night.  We are going to need him when Big Dog and/or Kwan get in foul trouble against better teams in the MAC.

Same happened to us last game. We had our offense running in the 1st half then kind of come out in the 2nd and focus on burning the clock. I never understood why you don't keep the foot on the accelerator when the offense is flowing. Same bothers me in football when teams go to prevent defense and it lets the other team back into the game.

[Blue & Gold]

No way we should give up 80 points to this team.

[Blue & Gold]

Did TDM play at all in the second half?

 

And if not, that's strange.

I can understand that philosophy, somewhat, when you are the less talented team. But this team needs to put their foots on people's necks at some point. It's something they haven't done all season long. What looked like was finally going to be the game they put everything together, turns into another meh win. Oh well, 7-0 is 7-0.
