Zips Collapse: What’s your theory?

[1981 grad]

The Zips have shot 25% from the 3 line the last 3 games.  For us to have a chance Ali, Trimble LCJ or somebody else on the team is going to have to find their range and start making the 3 ball.  That has always been the strength of the Groce team and we struggle when we can not hit from long range.   All season Trimble has made very long 3 balls.  Coach should work some plays to get him open looks from just behind the 3 line to get his confidence.

In less than a month the Zips have traveled approximately 1,151 miles on the bus in a pandemic.

In this 3 game slide, Trimble has scored a combined 15 points (9, 6, 0).

How about some 2 point attempts (for a change)?

A really popular coaching strategy now says shoot the 3 or get a layup/dunk - no 2 point shots. I disagree.

I think one need look no further than the All-MAC teams to figure out the late season swoon for the Zips.

I think losing those games caused the collapse.
