kreed5120 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 9 turnovers in the 1st half. We need to do a better job of cleaning that up and rotating on defense. They're getting a lot of easy looks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Jeremy Roscoe just got yanked and chewed out...wow. Cheese just shot an ill-advised 3.

NWAkron Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) These offensive rebounds. So incredibly frustrating. Total difference in the game. Edited December 15, 2018 by NWAkron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Why we waste so much time? We were only at 7 team fouls. We put up a quicker shot and miss and we could have still put them at the line for a 1 and 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Had chances. One thing we can always count on this team won't close out a half with a basket. Getting old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 This is a game that makes you better come March. Frustrating, but Groce recognizes the flaws and will address them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Groces honeymoon is quickly fading away. That was an awful ending. No confidence this team can deliver when it counts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this was handed to us. Last year's team could close out a game better. That being said, this game was lost thru turnovers and crappy rebounding. They need a crunch time player who can make the big play Edited December 15, 2018 by NWAkron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense and rebounding both require effort. I was disappointed with Groce's post game comments. He didn't voice any concern with effort at all.

clarkwgriswold Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Some good in that game, mostly on offense, but many more frustrating aspects in the loss. 1) Box out. Damnit, box out! Waaaaaaaaaaay too many second chance points for Marshall. 4 foot tall Loren Jackson makes more of an effort to box out than our big guys. 2) Dear Zips staff- when the other team's offense relies on penetrating and kicking it to good shooters on the perimeter, you may want to back off on the help defense and tell defenders to stay with their men. 3) Pass the ball against a zone. Marshall was good at that. 4) Turnovers killed us, especially in the first half. 5) A slight of frame 5-8 point guard should not be defending the 6-3 leading scorer from the other team. 6) Running and taking quick shots is THEIR game not the Zips. Don't get caught playing to their pace. Edited December 15, 2018 by clarkwgriswold 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
