Zips at Houston — NIT Round 1

[you am i]

While at Indiana Bobby Knight once said that in a big game he wanted to be down 1 by at halftime.

Big Dog, no rebounds in the first half? Odd.

Length bothers him.  Not mobile enough to counter.  

 

I will say this though, the length seems to be bothering our guards more so than Big Dog. Could be why we are settling for so many deep 3s. Still have to attack.

I need to clear something up about the roster -- while Antino is listed as a junior, he should have two years remaining to play, is that not right?   Was he ineligible two years ago, so has two years left if he makes academic progress?  Wondering, if he had 1000 pts.  Did I miss a year?  lol  Oh, I'm getting forgetful -- but don't call me old!

You're thinking of Ivey.

We need to get out of the paint when Big Dog has the ball.  There is no reason for anyone to be near Big Dog when he has the ball down low.  Their center cannot handle Big Dog one on one.  Force them to double team him  We took some long 3 balls but made a few.  Our guards are getting killed on the dribble drive but that has been going on all year.  Would like to see more Poke so that Big Dog is not exhausted at the end of the game.  Good first half by both teams.  Can anyone estimate the crowd.  The arena is so big is tough to guess.  I am thinking 3,000.  We would have a bigger crowd at the Jar.

[Captain Kangaroo]

I'll estimate the "crowd" at 1,531.

Is this team tough, like the Dials-era Zips, or not. Please let me be reading positive, impressed posts in 90 minutes, and not "...cramped down our leg again" posts.

 

Dog playing D like he has 4 fouls.

No.

[Blackburn]

Offense is hanging in there.  Starting to get a couple of hustle plays.  Defense is still lacking effort. 

[K92]

I used to like Ivey.

I like the foul rule, just wish they would play 4 quarters.

He missed a layup.

He's joking about Ivey missing that layup. Earlier in the year he said he loved Ivey because he makes his layups.

Let's go Zips.  Time for a run 

[Blackburn]

I am surprised that Big Dog doesn't get called for more of those offensive fouls on the block.

[kreed5120]

Allowing fast breaks off made buckets. Come on guys get back on D.

I hate ref blaming but I thought it was weak. Zips aren't getting any calls actually.

[GoZips88]

I'd give my right eye so my left one could see Isiah slam one home instead of going for the soft layup.

[kreed5120]

Houston 10-10 from the line. Must be nice having a team that can make their free throws.

Gray getting all the calls.

[zipsrule]

Big three!
