MDZip Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Three and a half minutes and only one point has been scored by either side. But with the Zips up by 8 now I'm ok if that continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a bit more defense on him I'd just be guessing. Must be working some - only 1-3 on threes in this half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 It seems like we are a step slow on defense, especially on the defensive boards. I think that is why Tribble is out there is that he is playing with the motor running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) WTF? Silver lining is we won't be seeing the Huskies in Cleveland! Zips made 25 more FTs. Refs must have been on the Zips side this time around. Edited February 16, 2021 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Come on RedHawks you can take down the Rockets! Zips have now beaten every team in the league except Da Bulls. And hopefully they go by the wayside here soon. Edited February 16, 2021 by MDZip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 You aren't going to win many games when you shoot under 40% from the field. Luckily for us we were playing one of the worst teams in all of division 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to see how his 3 pt % compares to the likes of Banks, McAdams, Kretzer, etc. Watching Trimble shoot today had me looking up David Falknor stats from the 2001-2002 season when he shot the lights out. 44% avg while making over 2.5 3 pointers/game.

LoyalZIP Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I watched the replay today and that was a mistake ? (kidding). It was one of those games that you know was never in doubt. At the same time, I would confidently call that one of the worst 5 performances of the year from Akron. LCJ was average at best, Freeman had bad hands, Ali was so-so. Just a boring and bad basketball game. Props to NIU for playing really hard, that can't be easy to do with a season like they've had. But also, thank you to NIU for being terrible enough that this game didn't become the worst loss of the season. That's really all I have. Intensity was Sh*t. Defense was Sh*t. Execution was Sh*t. Blech. On to Ball State. As for the uniforms, I really like the metallic numbers and trim, that would be SICK on a navy base instead of black. But I'm not much of a uniform guy any more, if the players like them, hell yeah! Anyone know how to get on the short list for fans?? I'm dying to go see these guys! Go Zips!
