1981 grad Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Groce is really using his bench a lot more the past few games. I think it really helps the team in the last 10 minutes of the game if all the players are not playing 30 plus minutes. I saw a nice play by Ali and then watched Tribble and Ali look at each other on an easy rebound that turned into 2 points for Central Michigan. Jackson is having an outstanding game. Once again we started out cold from the 3 line and started 1 of 7. The last 3 games we have started very cold from the 3 line. Central Michigan has a bunch of offensive rebounds but many are off of long rebounds where the Zips have inside position. This looks like it is going to be a close game the rest of the way.

akronzips71 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 The announcers are HORRIBLE. Talking to each other instead of calling the game. Several plays the ball changed sides with no clue what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convince me otherwise After hearing what Riak just did (and continues to do) I can't disagree. Though I know Deng is a better defender.

LoyalZIP Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sounds like Tribble is getting big minutes with Channel in foul trouble. Huge if they can hold on to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Playing the bench guys in the first half is really making a difference. These guys are closing out games because they are getting some rest in the first half. Groce has found a great rotation. Reese has really been playing well. We often wondered how good Akron would be with a dominant point guard and Jackson is that guard. I can't recall a player improving so much from one season to another. HE is doing everything right from not turning the ball over to shooting the ball well, hitting shots in the paint and shooting the ball from 3. Adding that runner to his game has really made him almost unstoppable at times. Fun game to watch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Riak needs to learn some basics In the last few games, he has Stepped on the line on an inbounds pass had two inbounds passes picked off. This is not acceptable in D1 hoops where we win or lose by one point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I'm going to miss Groce when he leaves. He's an A1 guy and a damn good coach. Hopefully he sticks around at least thru next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
