clarkwgriswold Posted February 18, 2018 Report Posted February 18, 2018 The Zips head to BG Tuesday night to face the 16-11 Falcons. The Falcons are 7-7 in the MAC. 6-4 freshman guard Justin Turner leads the Falcons in scoring at 15.4 ppg. 6-10 junior forward Demajio Wiggins leads rebounding at 9.7 rpg. Sorry for the quick summary, I am out of town. Quote
Illini Zip Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 This has to be our first road win, right here. I am feeling it. Go Zips!! 1 1 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Posted February 20, 2018 I'm afraid the Zips are going to be without a road win this year. I think Wiggins lights it up tonight as the Zips have nothing standing in his way down low. You'll recall that the earlier game against BG was a last second win with Sayles having his best game of the year before suffering what now looks like may be a season ending injury. Quote

Blue & Gold Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Sadly, I agree with Clark. This Akron Beacon game day story reminded me that when we beat BUGS, at home, on Cotton's last-second shot, Sayles contributed 14 points and 4 rebounds. I believe Demajeo Wiggins and Derek Koch will have their way with us tonight. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Posted February 20, 2018 I think it would be great if Demajeo was Wiggins middle name and his first name was Jeaux. Jeaux Demajeo Wiggins. Quote

It might be hard to argue with those who haven't had a brightest outlook on upcoming games, when we have the worst record in the league. Edited February 20, 2018 by skip-zip Quote

Not to mention we've lost 6 out of our last 7 games, 5 of which by double figures, including the 24 point beat down to current co-cellar dweller Ohio. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Posted February 20, 2018 I think they can..I think they can...I think they can... Quote
NWAkron Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 So basically we need to win tonight and Ohio, Miami, NIU, CMU, and EMU need to lose. So basically...we are screwed. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Posted February 21, 2018 Utomi not starting!? Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) 1:09 taken to get to K-lac's first foul and in come Utomi. Edited February 21, 2018 by clarkwgriswold Quote
LZIp Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 I can't even get my friggin stream to load and I never have problems with the ESPN app. Not sure why Utomi wouldn't start.. Quote

I was having issues tonight too, for the first time in years. I tried to use my PS4 but it kept telling me I had too many concurrent streams. Switched to Roku and it's been fine. Quote

Nothing will load on my Xbox, but its working fine on my laptop. Utomi looks gimpy. Quote
Illini Zip Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 Hustle 1 with a much needed 3pter. 1 Quote
Illini Zip Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 We survived their first run! Quote
LZIp Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 Seem to be letting them play tonight.Smith def got fouled on his 3 pt attempt. Something I've noticed all year, but haven't mentioned - is that Utomi looks like a sprained ankle waiting to happen every single 3 pt attempt. Not sure if its his natural motion or if defenders choose to "aggressively" close out on him, but it looks like he could land on the defenders foot every time. Quote
1981 grad Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) We are shooting the ball well on the road. Hope we can keep it up. Playing good defense on the road. Keeping it close. Also, Lucas Smith is really playing well. Edited February 21, 2018 by 1981 grad Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Posted February 21, 2018 Maybe trying to offset their size early is all I can figure. If it was for an injury, you wouldn't bring him in only 1:09 into the game. Quote
LZIp Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) LOL@ this BG sideline reporter. that was bad. Edited February 21, 2018 by LZIp 1 1 Quote
