kreed5120 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Outside of shooting free throws extremely well there were very few positives to take out of this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Wow, was that ugly. Glad we won but we’ve gotta find a few guys other that X & Cheese who can put it in the hole. I believe X had 20, Cheese had 20 & LCJ had 10. The rest of the team contributed only 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Very discouraging. We made an absolutely awful basketball team look marginally acceptable. Edited November 16, 2019 by Zipmeister . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 A win is a win. NCC didn't give up as I expected with their tourney experience. Our shooting HAS to improve, but I like our defense and pace of play. We also need to finish around the rim better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 They need to change their pre-game meal. It's not working. Wow, that was like running in mud. I'm glad we were the home team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 The Zips have certainly played worse teams in the early OOC, but that was just an awful performance. Even the 1350 feed gave up shortly after the game. It apparently wanted to make no more of an effort than the Zips. They need to learn that if they occasionally go to the hole with authority that it will loosen up the perimeter defense. On the night, they did that once when X had his slam. Otherwise they dribble just to look to dish for a three and they either do or gt trapped and in trouble. They should also NEVER be out-efforted, which appeared to be the case tonight. That team was obviously out talented, but they sure play hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a group of players who were just screwing around. they never lost the lead, and they figured they could dial it in like arrogant jocks.

akronzips71 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 LCJ is out of control. Needs to calm down and set up plays. At the end, when we needed to run the clock, he ran right down and chucked. Freshman mistakes, not a freshman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 That is one of the ugliest basketball games I have ever watched. Run down the floor, drive to the basket, dish for a three and miss the 3. A lot of turnovers tonight. If this team had played a decent team they would have gotten killed. I liked how we played in West Virginia, there was an offensive flow. Did not see anything like that tonight. The team shot 25% from the field and from the 3 line. They got bailed out by the refs and shot at least 10 more foul shots than the visiting team. I just don't know about LCJ. He kept driving to the basket and missing a layup or turning the ball over among the trees. LCJ got his points at the end of the game making foul shots. I just wonder if this team will be repeat of last year when we were one of the worst shooting teams in the nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One ref called and offensive foul on LCJ when he did one of his "half-flops." that was good to see. Reece played much better at WVU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to take a friend (always trying to introduce ppl to Zips athletics) but he bailed on me last minute. So I just watched the game at home. In hindsight I'm glad my friend bailed. I wouldn't have wanted that to be his first impression of Zips basketball. I'm all for more uptempo.. but that effort was so ugly and uncoordinated it felt like watching YMCA ball. I wish I could have seen the WVU game. Everyone on here was positive about the team's performance even though we got the L. Tonight everyone is rightly critical of the team's performance even though we got the W. It's a great thing to have objective posters like you guys. Maybe NWAkron is right and they were just screwing around tonight. If... IF... that's the case I don't like it on a number of levels. I don't pay $$ to watch a team screw around. I hope I never see an effort so ugly the rest of the season. Respect the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 ABJ: Zips struggle on offense in victory GT had the same observation we did: The Zips’ (2-1) primary opponent on the court was themselves...What should be concerning for coach John Groce and UA fans was the lack of energy and intensity on display in what could have been an easy game.
