NWAkron Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 This is cool with a John Groce reference even. Quote
akronzips71 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 We NEED this one. A win is almost a clinch for the auto NIT bid. It would be GREAT having that in our pocket going into Cleveland. This team deserves a post season. 2 Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Posted February 25, 2020 The bench needs to come through tonight. BG's primary advantage is their depth so it's important that the bench guys offset some of BG's bench performance. Quote
RowdyZip Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Zips opened as 1.5 point favorites, like has shift to PK or BG -1. Really looking forward to this one. Need to get out of our shooting funk. Quote
kreed5120 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Kind of surprised to hear the line shifted 2.5 points in such a short amount of time Quote

It's a toss up. Lean BG with crazy home crowd and their desire to expel the Zip demons. On the other hand, X gets his 3 stroke back and Zips win by 12. Quote

I just don't think BG is as good as their record indicates. As I mentioned earlier, they are 7-0 in MAC games decided by 3 points or less. I'm going to go Akron by 5. 1 Quote
zippy5 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 The advanced stats don't look friendly to BG - as if they've been playing over their heads a bit. KenPom has them at #160 and us at around 10 points better. Would be nice if this is the game they came back down to earth. We shall see Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 I'd like to see us get back to our consistently outstanding free throw shooting. Seems like we've been missing more often in recent games. Hopefully X finds some of his shot at the very least, because that has been the difference between our closer victories lately vs. the blow-outs we were experiencing earlier in the MAC schedule. 2 Quote

pdt1420 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Me and the kids are in the house tonight. Swish Cheese goes off. Zips by 15 Quote
1981 grad Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 It bothered me on Saturday that our first 9 shots were 3 balls and most were misses. We need to get some inside shots and not shoot everything from the outside. We need X man to shoot the ball well. Would love this team to win tonight and at Buffalo and get that one seed!!! Quote
kreed5120 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Last time these teams faced off Akron had a pretty terrible offensive first half. Groce told the Zips at halftime to attack the hoop as BG was conceding the driving lanes in order to run the Zips off the 3-point line/ball pressure LCJ. It will be interesting to see if Huger takes that same approach this game since the Zips kind of figured it out last game. I'm going to guess he'll come out with a different plan. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Posted February 26, 2020 BS call on Cheese. Quote
1981 grad Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Same start as last game. Shooting the 3 ball and missing. Williams cannot hit a 3 no matter how open. LCJ is the only one to make any baskets. Terrible camera work. Camera on coach while game in progress. Quote
LZIp Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 cold start. Has a big game feel. 2 early fouls on Cheese is pretty big. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Posted February 26, 2020 0-7 from 3 to start the game. Quote
akronzips71 Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Someone take the cover off the basket please. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Posted February 26, 2020 Gillette Skinguard will haunt me tonight. Could we please get back the Jennifer Garner ads? Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) They shouldn't have Cheese on Turner with 2 fouls. Shocked they haven't gone after him. Edited February 26, 2020 by clarkwgriswold Quote
