Zips @ NIU (Tue 1-31)

[NWAkron]

The Zips and the coaches just look so unhappy and frustrated whenever they play there.

I have noticed when Poke gets in we give up offensive rebounds.  He has to learn to box out.  Kwan is keeping us in this game!

Another nice NIU crowd.

As my high school coach would say,  Big Dog is a 20-20 guy.. score 20 and give up 20! This is where the separation is between him and Zeke that was discussed in another thread.

  But you digress...

Big Dog is getting doubled and nobody is cutting to the basket.  Jimond used to score off the double team and it is just not happening.  Need better  offense.

This one has L written all over it.

[LZIp]

Nobody knows what to do without Big Dog in to facilitate the offense.

[wadszip]

Well, this is embarrassing. This one is going to get ugly.

[clarkwgriswold]

I'm sensing a "dysfunctional" Zips locker room at half.

[wadszip]

BTW, we're getting a glimpse of how bad this team will be next year, too. 

[NWAkron]

I'm keeping the faith, but this one was circled as an L since the schedule came out. 

[zippy5]

Time to see what they're made of. Not over by any means but can't start to panic.

I expect more from Noah in this type of game.  He misses wide open shots and is getting beat off the dribble.  After Kwan went to the bench this is getting worse.  I still think we can come back.  We are playing terrible and still in this thing.

Glad I'm listening to this game on the radio and not watching it. Idk if my eyes could handle it.

Far from over. NIU is not going to stay this hot 

[zippy5]

They've hit 9 of their last 10 shots and we're still in it

[zippy5]

Aaron Jackson is so bad

[Blue & Gold]

Why is Aaron Jackson playing?

[LZIp]

such a frustrating game. Josh Williams is still in "form" and Aaron Jackson is so erratic when he gets the ball he is missing open bunnies.

Are we still in it??  I'm going to try and not be a doom and gloom like they get on other message boards.  Need to get back to reality. 

[akzipper]

Typical Zips. Just when I start to believe this team is different they lay another egg.

[skip-zip]

Lack of defense finally failing this team.  It's all effort, guys.  No excuse for not picking up guys running down the floor sooner.  

[Balsy]

There's always a down game that we have no business losing.  If the Zips don't pick it up FAST, kiss a top-25 ranking goodbye.  Again...
