Great, aggressive start to the 2nd half.

Zips one up in rebounding but getting killed in the paint (20-6).

No real post player to score in the paint.  Drive and kick the ball outside.  It will work if we can shoot the ball well.  Our 3 point shooting is around 40%

Pretty weak flagrant call on Ali.

Wow.  Way to change the flow of the game.

[NWAkron]

Couple of quick 3s...grr.  but it's run the floor, keep it moving.  They clobber us but can't touch their players

Hurts when you''re best inside presence is 6' 7".   Not a big deal in the MAC, but it hurts here.

Every time I hear the WVU announcer say Sherman, I can't help but think...

[clarkwgriswold]

WVU starting to pull away.  That flagrant really changed the momentum.

Williams missed open 3 to cut the lead to 3 and it has been down hill since then.  Has Riak even touched the ball on offense?

[clarkwgriswold]

Cheese has to be smarter.

Back to single digits after 8-0 Zips run.

 Back to double digits after a couple quick buckets by WVU. Damn.

Theme of the night--"have a run, give up a run."

[zipsrule]

Need a few stops on defense.

Reese is working his @$$ off.

I thought size doesn't matter!

That's what I tell my wife.  

 

It doesn't matter at the MAC level.

Old White haired ref is not on Zips side in second half.  Thought the other two are giving us some calls that we didn't get in the first half.

[LZIp]

Can Banks dunk?

[clarkwgriswold]

After all these years, old Huggs still gets his kids to play hard.

[clarkwgriswold]

X looks like he is still shaking off some rust from a year off.

[clarkwgriswold]

86-76, 2 minutes.

 

Refs calling it very tight now.  I don't mind how they call it as long as they are consistent throughout the game.
