Z.I.P. Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) BTW, another aside, the color commentator mentioned near halftime that LCJ had I believe 7 "Fouls Taken", meaning 7 times his man fouled him. That's an impressive stat, especially considering he's like an 84% FT shooter. Edited January 11, 2020 by Z.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them -- especially the one against Cheese just didn't make a difference, and didn't need to be called. Pretty sure it was Tyler, though could have been Xeyrius.

kreed5120 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) I think I heard the announcers say LCJ had 12 fouls drawn near the end of the game. Ball State guards were just not quick enough to keep up with him, which led to them being out of position on defense. Personally, for a game that wasn't all that physical I thought their were a lot of fouls called. Granted Akron's 3 main ball handlers (LCJ, Cheese, & Xeyrius) are all terrific foul shooters so a tightly called game helps Akron, but personally I don't like to see games turn into free throw contests. I saw a lot of ticky tack fouls on both sides. Edit: Akron's foul shooting is going to make it challenging for any team to overcome a late game deficit. If we have Banks inbound it we can field a lineup of 4 80%+ ft% shooters, 2 of which are nearly 90%.

The Hip Zip Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 A couple of things that I noted from the weekend games.... Justin Turner appears to be getting back into the swing after dropping 29 on the road vs. the Kittens. He's obviously the man for BG and they were largely far less than impressive while he was out, and after just coming back, with a bad hammy. It seems that he's now back into playing shape so the Falcons should be much better moving forward. I wouldn't dismiss their chances just yet. Kent was far less than impressive vs C Mich but keep in mind that they played without their best big, Whittington, who according to reports was ordered to have no contact with the team after coming down with a nasty flu virus. It's a situation to keep an eye on because the Flashes could certainly be vulnerable in Oxford if he's still out or not at his best Tuesday.

I saw him at a Zips game last month. He was sitting in the lower bowl & stayed for almost the entire game. He left maybe 5 minutes early but the Zips had a big lead. As he was leaving he was giving some handshakes and a couple hugs to Zips fans - it looked like they all knew each other. Idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCCC got lucky break with Turner being injured in that first game. I watched that Kitten game and even when they were down BG coach looked quite confident. Kittens living and dying by the 3 and are out of shape. Typical during the rebuild. Zips and PCCC play tomorrow at two points of the MAC Bermuda Triangle. Millet Hall and the Convocation Center. Miami badly needs a win and NIU took out Canada last year when Canada was #15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of success O-Who has had since Groce's departure is simply salt in the wound. I hope we finish this season in spectacular fashion, just to rub it in. What's sad is I think they made the right hire in Boals, who is an O-Who grad to boot. Yet due to the slower start to his tenure and Groce having Akron playing solid basketball currently, they can't help but fail to appreciate what they have while crying about yesteryear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
