Game 1—Cleveland State

[LZIp]

Not sure how much I like the idea of Eubanks/Utomi at the 5 (I can't tell who it is). Refs seem to be calling this one really tight. Really couldn't have had a worse offensive half so I guess only being down 8 is a positive.

[UAZippers]

This game has pretty much gone as I expected. Zips are showing zero chemistry and the freshmen are making some rookie mistakes. Missed passes and unforced errors everywhere. Most of what I am seeing can be fixed with just continued practice time though.

Time and patience.  Grrrrrr...time and patience...

So far, playing much better in the 2nd half.

[zipsrule]

We are already in the bonus.

And a refreshing change so far is the 8-9 shooting from the line.

Where can I get a Sayles jersey? And Duvivier with the HAMMER!

 

Edit: Should've queued up Zombie Nation and highlights of the block instead of the dot race and smile cam.

That's what I'm talkin about!!

[UAZippers]

Nasty block followed by an even NASTIER dunk! That's what i want to see out of this team!

[akronzips71]

I think Sayles is going to get some playing time!

[zipsrule]

Nice run by the Zips!!!!!

[LZIp]

Poke showing off his 14 in. increased vertical on that block.

Olajapoko-stick. Sayles and Parrish looking really good and Utomi having a really nice game. First and second half are completely different

Why does Parrish's jersey read Peters?  Or are my eyes bad?

They should all read Peters tonight.  Purple honoring Dan Peters.

I'll just chalk it up to your eyes being bad

Dark purple as I recall, for pancreatic cancer.

[zipsrule]

From far away, they do look dark blue.  Up close they are purple.

They look purple, as they should, on my laptop.

[clarkwgriswold]

Nice opener for our young Zips.

[zipsrule]

Nice to see the Zips making free throws (17-21).  CSU is something like 10-26 from the line.

[LZIp]

That was fun. A tale of 2 halves for sure. I'm excited about all these young, new guys along with the further development of Ivey and Utomi (who looked like a straight boss tonight). All these freshman look like they belong.

 

Go Zips!
