Game 23- Eastern Michigan

We need to attack the basket. Maybe if they see some free throws fall in, they'll start making shots.

Rob Murphy=Stable Genius. See what we could get for 1/2 the price?

That may have been the worst 10-minute stretch of zips basketball I have ever seen.

 

Listening to Frenchy, he agrees with you.  He is an Akron gem ?

Need about 3 more Cameron Reeces.

I'd take any 3 guys that didn't play on offense like they were CYO grade school spazzes.

 

Defense is good again today.  It, along with bad EMU free throw shooting, is keeping them in it.

So that's what a week of rust looks like.

Halftime adjustments then throttle them to start the half.

Love your optimism.

MAC is awesome!

Anyone seen Sayles?

On the bench.

EMU such an odd team.  Had the Zips nearly dead but wouldn't adjust and go for kill.

If someone told me before the game that Xeyrius, Banks, and LCJ would have a combined 2 points at the half, I would have guessed the Zips would be down by 20 at the half, not 3.

It feels like a lot more. 

 

We need 'men' in the game. Hence my sarcastic Sayles inquiry.

[NWAkron]

This halftime warm up didn't look so good.  Something has to give.

[kreed5120]

I think we need to attack early. EMU has a lot of guys with 2 fouls. Personally, I'd like to get Toure a 3rd or 4th foul ASAP. I don't see Reece being able to match up with him.

[NWAkron]

Riak...I just can't take it.

  

[clarkwgriswold]

X scores his first points 24 minutes in.

[NWAkron]

Any momentum stifled by Riak miscues.  It's going south again.  Fast.

[Z.I.P.]

Can't let this team withstand our storm the way CMU let Buffalo last night!

[zipfan84]

Tough 4th on Reece. Guess that can happen when he's your only player with an inside presence.

Settle in.  Reece has 4 fouls and Jayden seems glued to the bench.

[Z.I.P.]

Five quick points for Mr. X.  42-40, Zips.

He's having fun dancing in his seat to the music during the timeout.
