Game 3—Dayton Flyers

[Z.I.P.]

Well, "Yutome"  is at it again!  3-4 on '3's, as Akron takes the lead back.  Good trend here!  32-29.  8-0 Zips run.

[Z.I.P.]

10-0 Akron run!  Take THAT Dayton talent!  

[Balsy]

Way to go Zips!  I'm just now tuning into the game and DID NOT expect the Zips to have the lead at the half!  Boy-oh-boy am I a spoiled Zips fan right now!  

 

Go Zips!

[NWAkron]

Hmm.

OT...Groce wearing awesome tie.

SAYLES!

Pleasantly surprised to go into the half with the lead. Utomi balling. Need to minimize Baby Greek's impact on the game. If we can do that, I think we win.

 And no way would Keith have called that time out after Dayton's run.  He didn't like calling timeouts during run-of-play.

Right.  But isn't that when you should take them?  I remember that about him

He and there other two bigs each have 2 fouls. Keep going inside and that takes care of itself.

Little tough on the line tonight, but it's the first away game.   Team keeps it's cool.

[Z.I.P.]

Antetokoumnpo (right?!) has to come back out and dominate this half for Dayton.  Can Akron stop him?  Not on the first dunk!

4-7 so far. I don't count Olajapoke's attempts; he's our hack-a-Shaq.

Game now tied.  Let's see a response from Akron.

[NWAkron]

Blech! Some missed open 3s by Malcolm and Jimond really hurting us.   15-0 run by U.D.  Ouch.  They made some adjustments.

Just about as bad of a start to the 2nd half as you could think of.

[zipsrule]

Bad start, but still down only 5 with about 11:00 to go.  Let's get back to it!

[LZIp]

Turns out I am wrong. Leaving all of these guys open for 3s seems to be what is costing us.

[LZIp]

Really just need more out of Ivey, Parrish, and Duvivier if you want to win a game like this. Or offense from anybody outside of Sayles and Utomi.

 

 

I'm pretty disappointed with Ivey so far this season. Saw him getting into it with the coaching staff last game and he really hasn't brought much to the table yet. Yes he is dealing with a new system, but so is everyone else. I hope he can get it going.

[ZIPS96]

Ivey needs to stop forcing shots!

[Blue & Gold]

Just jumping in here so I'm sure this has already been said, but Duvivier doesn't have his J tonight & Ivey still hasn't found any sort of groove yet this season. That's bad games from two of our 3 main guns.

[NWAkron]

Looking like the first half of the CSU game.  Zips get shut down any move to the basket.   Still the Kostelac mystery.

[Let'sGoZips94]

Ivey took us out of this game I feel. He had some wild ball handling and shots when we needed controlled possessions. He needs to find his role on this team.

 

Surprised we haven't seen more plays for Parrish.

 

Free Throw shooting has not been good, but it's our first road game. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. 

 

Hoping we can make a few baskets here and make this more respectable.

This is NOT CSU!  Kostelac may be a project.  Time will tell.

Gotcha.  UD much better team.  I've made a lot of ill-advised shots.  I want to like the guy, but he's a bit hard to figure out at the moment.

Announcer: "And yet another difficult shot by Ivey. And if you're Akron I'm not sure that's the shot you're looking for." ?
