Bigzip1 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 This game just showed me that LCJ is our biggest problem. All he’s cares about is scoring and getting as many shots up as his little arms can handle. Getting tired of watching him dribble the shot clock away and forcing up bad shots. If Trimble isn’t making catch n shoot bailout threes we’re bad. LCJ’s play style doesn’t allow any other zip to get in any kind of rhythm. Also questionable coaching decision leaving Maishe in down the stretch. He hasn’t been good at all watched him miss easy lay ups and give poor defensive effort on a consistent basis this year. Hate watching bad basketball. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just too bad Zips weren't ready for EMU and NIU. Those two losses will haunt rest of the season. The Rockets have the Zips number. I wouldn’t worry too much about the Rockets in the MAC Tournament they always dissolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 18 points a game gone. DNP vs. Miami as Kent had several 4-5 minute stretches without scoring. Don't think any other guard at Kent is averaging more than 8-pts a game.

The schools are letting some fans into the games, and I think it would be just completely rotten to take that away from the players two years in a row. It's a seeding issue at this point. And, yes, they do have Zips #. The last 3 games against the Zips they've scored over 90 points. Houston, we have a problem.

ZippyforPresident Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 We beat ourselves tonight. That game was there for the taking and just like the NIU and EMU games, we let a less talented team just have it. Maybe all the early whistles got in our heads and hampered any defensive intensity, but we have to find a way to overcome and deal with adversity on the road. This team really does not like playing away from the JAR. Better get it figured out before Kent State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigzip1 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 @zippy5 You must be a casual basketball guy. You see a 30 point game and think “great game” when it’s actually killing the chemistry. I’ve never once seen our “Point guard” try to consistently get his teammates involved it’s always score score score with him. It’s hard to get maximum energy and effort defensively from the 4other guys when they know it’s a slim chance they’ll get to touch it on the other end. Last year if you payed attention LCJ’s pts came within the flow of our offense this year he’s just forcing it. It shows the most when our shooters have cold nights. He had 30 on almost 30 shots you could have done that tonight given the opportunity lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyforPresident Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. They certainly executed better tonight, but how they have only one conference loss thus far is a head scratcher to me. I don't think they'd crack the top 3 in the MAC east in a typical year (yes, I realize they're in the MAC west lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Knives are out. Some controversy and recriminations!! We haven't had a good dose of that in the basketball threads since KD bailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might take the argument seriously if you didn't state he was our biggest problem. That's a joke. I'll ignore the personal dig as well.

NWAkron Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Trivia: Last time Akron face Toledo in the MAC tournament was a first-round game in 2009. Akron won in OT...on a last second shot. the longer drought is against Central Michigan and that was 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigzip1 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 @zippy5 I don’t feel like looking up his usage rate right now but I’m pretty sure it’s higher than 95% of division 1 guards. You pound the rock for 15-20 seconds, finally dish to a semi open shooter for a catch n shoot attempt late in the shot clock you will get some assists lol our shooters aren’t bad they’re just off and on like most shooters, not to mention the assists he gets off teams overplaying ball screens. Our other guards have no chance to get any rhythm going they’re being forced to stand in the corner watch and hope he kicks the ball. actually that wasn’t a dig at all I’m just trying to put things in perspective for you. I think most of the guys on our roster could have went for 30 on the same amount of shots he took tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy5 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 That's because he's better than 95% of NCAA guards. Returning conference player of the year. He's good, he should be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigzip1 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Completely different team and if he wants to have team success this year he’s going to have to change his approach. Don’t know if that’s what he’s in it for right now, he’ll be able to get the individual accolades again this season if he keeps this up but we’ll be done in early March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are only 20 posts in and are doing some serious trolling of the Zips top player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
