clarkwgriswold Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Took a look at last year's stats for the Yellow Jackets and they return 6 of the top 7 scorers from last season, led by senior 6 foot guard Grant Zawadzki at 12.6 ppg. They were 13-14 overall and 8-14 in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. They've had the same coach since 2008 and have been under .500 every season since 2013.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 A lot to like. Slow start, shots weren't falling early, Cedarville came out like a motivated DII team should and played well. Akron put it together in the second half and once the shots started falling, it was smooth sailing. The ball movement was great from the get go and I found our shot selection to be solid. Very impressed by Riak, Cheese, and Christian Jackson. Riak didn't have a great game but his fundamentals are strong for a guy his size. Good handles and strong free throw shooters. Cheese is gonna be a game changer with his ability to get inside and finish. Christian Jackson is probably the best PG we've had since Abreu. The kid has a high motor like Antino but is more under control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Some notes/observations from Game 1, primarily for those who could not attend. The new intro video is not great. Starters- Banks, Ivey, Riak, Jackson and Utomi. Lots of new support people. Looked like about 10 managers and 24 cheerleaders. The new scoreboard looks great. Cheese was the first sub into the game. He is not much of a shooter but was the most aggressive Zip with the ball. Jackson is very fast. He can push the ball, has a decent shot and works hard on defense. His size will be exploited by big guards. Banks looked good. Decent shot. Seems to still be finding his way. Deng has very good feet on defense, is a nice defensive presence in the middle and is reasonable on offense. Much better on offense than expected. Scott Walter played much more than expected. Very heady and works hard. Groce had Poke and Riak and Sayles and Riak on the floor together. Lucas Smith and Toles in street clothes. Kostelac was the 4th big man in. Cheese ran point with Jackson out of the game. Ugly first half. 31-29. 39 percent from field, 24% on 3 pointers. Zips never got in the bonus, a sign of how passive they were on defense. At times, the boxing out was awful. In one stretch in the second half, Cedarville got 5 offensive rebounds in one possession. All in all, a typical first game. Lots of work yet to do. Players still gelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
