Meaning if the Zips put up 50, they "could" come back. We won the second half 43-26! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipgrad01 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I can't believe we let them get a 3 pointer off. I would have fouled at half court 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Holy shit. It wasn't the prettiest. Great 2nd half by Big Dog and nice FT shooting by the guards down the stretch. This team keeps proving that they are different, even though they aren't flawless. Can't think of another team that would have came back and won this game except for the 2012-2013 Zips team, and they were pretty special themselves. Just keep winning! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadszip Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm happy to be dead wrong on this defense. Still want to see more of that for 40 minutes, but a gutty comeback. Hats off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 WOW Ok, I take back what I said about our defense, and about Big Dog not looking like the best center in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took over the second half. I was leaning towards Kwan as MAC MVP but it's gotta be Big Dog at the halfway point. Sure is nice having them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I thought this game was winnable even after the first half if somebody would step forward and lead this team to win. Antino was that somebody. He played a great second half. This is the type of player you need on the team. Somebody who will step up when the team is playing poorly. Look at that steal on the next to last possession. Hitting the foul shots when we needed them. As a Zips fan you have to love this guy as a player. He is our best guard, especially when we are away from home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontrealExposloveZippy Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 We looked terrible in the 1st half and NIU shot lights out, but way to go Zips on the defensive side causing turnovers. I wanna see us in the TOP 25 next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Finding new ways to win every game. Somebody new always steps up when we need it. I like this team. If they manage to put it all together in March, they'll be very dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy5 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I guess they ended up shooting 67℅ from three. Holy cow I'd feel snake bitten if I was a Huskie fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 KD needs to come up with an inbounds play to a guard late in the game so that we can keep the ball out of Big Dogs hands late down the stretch. The pass down to Big Dog late in the game was a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
