MontrealExposloveZippy Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) We're the lowest seed left in the tournament. Sure glad we don't have to face Buff or Toledo. After tonight and finally winning another road game, can we make Cleveland our home and string a few more wins together?! Go Zips, cya in the wee hours on Thursday night.

NWAkron Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 The worst thing about this is having to rely on the ticket office to organize all of this on short notice. Travel Zoo did well by me last year. Clark will be getting free tickets at the Verizon store in Macedonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 We have also struggled against the zone all year. This will be a true test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though EMU and Murphy always choke in Cleveland, they were still my pick to win in Cleveland. Not sure we are a good match with any of the top 4, but it's March and we are at the Q where the Zips should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Keys to this game... - Make our shots - Don't let The Q be intimidating to our young guys - Play high-energy, aggressive defense - Ball movement, both on and off the ball, on offense - Get into Thompson's head; this is where KLac can really shine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klac got in his head the first time, IIRC. My guess is that Thompson gets a T at some point during this game. Need Klac to stay out of foul trouble as we'll need all the size we can to throw at Thompson. The key to beating the zone is ball movement and hitting your shots. Here's to hoping we have our legs!

Hilltopper Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 The staff opted to spend the night in Kzoo instead of bussing home after the game as originally planned. Smart move that should help with sleep schedules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 The Zips really need Malcolm's shot to come around. He hasn't had a decent shooting game since the first PCCC game. In the 5 games since, he is 16 of 57 (28%) from the field and 8 of 36 (22%) from three point territory. They've also been shaky from the free throw stripe in the last two, at 29 for 47 (61%). To keep this season going, those two things need fixed quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score the most points I thought about making it a more sarcastic post, with a bold prediction being the team that has the most points at the end of the game will win. I figured I'd spare y'all the sarcasm, put some real keys in there, and leave the common sense to you or Clark (you beat him to it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score the most points I'm sure that after a 2-hour film session/coaches meeting, the coaches emerge and tell the players, "We've figured out we'll have to score more points than the other team."

He has not been as aggressive going to the hoop. It seems like he is settling for the long 3 ball. He needs to score more in the paint and that will get him more room to shoot the 3 ball.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Chalk held, except for Akron. Time to be the bull in a china shop, and bust this tournament open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 FYI: I called the University and our sections are 107 and 108. Through Travel Zoo I was able to get two 6th row seats in 109. There are some available in 108 but further back. If season ticket holder, your price is $24 but will be distributed by point level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the Metamucil crowd won't be up for a 9 PM tip-off, so I may actually get a seat in the first 20 rows of Sec 108 107 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Over/under for people in attendance wearing EMU green ... on a weeknight ... 2-1/2 hrs from Ypsilianti ... for a 9p tip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
