HenryMuto Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Going to need to win the MAC tournament but it was always going to be that way anyway. Going to likely be #1 seed just need to win those 3 games. Good fight today just not enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Big Dog pretty much sat the bulk of the 2nd half the same game Kwan had his wortst game of the season. I'm not going to fret over the loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Terrible 3-point shooting and Ohio shooting way above its average on free throws on way too many fouls doomed the Zips in this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to fret over the loss. The winning streak was fun but we all knew the team wasn't going to win out. It always comes down to the MAC tournament. I think Kwan wasn't feeling all that well and it hurt his shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 The refs did not help but you have to overcome that on the road. Big Dog picked up 3 bogus fouls, a T, a double foul, and a foul away from the basket where the guy put his head into Big Dogs shoulder and jerked his head. Kwan had his first bad shooting game and it hurt us with Big Dog out. Utomi did not contribute at all this game. Poke played well and had a nice turnaround shot around the basket. Dunn Martin had a good first half but did not see him in he 2nd half. Bottom line, this team did not play well enough to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just natural that the down in the final few minutes presses trying to chase points. Have Big Dog in when we were up 5 and I don't feel we surrender the lead.

zipfan84 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Any road game in conference is tough. I'll take 4-1 at this point. I'm more troubled by the lack of composure at the end. But think a lot of that was the pressure of the streak. Now let's get back home and take care of business against Ball State. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Big bummer to lose. No rationalizing here. Let's just not make a habit of it!! That's the thing about win streaks (obviously) they eventually come to an end with a thud. Winning the close games gives the team confidence in tough situations, but it also has to wear on these guys mentally and emotionally. A nice blow out of Ball State on Tuesday should do the trick to get them back on track. Go Zips! Edited February 4, 2017 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Ugh. Lots of blame to go around. Awful possessions after they went up 5 completely changed the game and let the momentum swing back to OU. Let me say first that I'm not one generally to b!+ch about the refs. Keith implied in the post-game that the refereeing in the MAC contributes to the MAC never getting an at-large bid. The refs can't take the best players in the league out of games without it adversely impacting the product under review by the selection committee. A double tech on kids jawing at each other on the way to the locker room is ridiculous, as is a 38-16 free throw disparity. All of that being said, the Zips had their chances and should have capitalized. They also showed a lack of composure at times today. The realists on here recognized they lose at some point. Time for the Zips to move onto Ball State and put this one behind them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With around 5 minutes left, game is tied, you're in double bonus, you're having a bad shooting night, Big Dog just came back well rested after a while on the bench. What do you do? YOU DON'T TAKE A FREAKIN THREE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Too much stupid hero-ball. There's a reason you're unguarded when your 25 feet away from the hoop. The Zips lacked composure. Cost them the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
