Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Posted March 12, 2021 As the Maple Leafs forum stated, who steps up behind LCJ? If nobody does, this won't be a game. If Trimble and someone else do, look out. Akron can compete with Canada on the boards; rebounding is more about effort than anything, and few coaches in the MAC coach effort like Groce does. 1 Quote
zippy5 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Posted March 12, 2021 I'm curious how the crowd turns out. Even if it's just 2k or so Zips fans.. that's a nice boost for our guys and a little extra something for UB to deal with that they haven't dealt with all year if we go on a run and the crowd is into it. 1 Quote
RowdyZip Posted March 12, 2021 Report Posted March 12, 2021 The quarterfinal crowds seemed to be silent in such a huge venue yesterday. Maybe it'll will be louder with 4 teams left. I'll be having a COVID-safe get together with some friends and projecting the game on my 110" screen. First test run at watching the game fireside. If I remember, I'll post some pics of the setup later. Go Zips! Quote

Also weird that there were fans. Must've been family, but ESPN definitely showed some people in team gear in the stands. Seemed like more than a few dozen, they were seated in the mid levels behind the basket. Let's hope it's loud tonight. Firmly planning on attending EVERY game in the tournament next season. 1 Quote

1981 grad Posted March 12, 2021 Report Posted March 12, 2021 We kicked Buffalo's butts the second half of the game and it was not on long range shooting but driving to the hoop. If we can penetrate it will open the floor for the 3 ball. Great sign that Ali and Trimble came out of their slump. If Marshall contributes again this should be a close game. I still think the key is shot selection. If the shot clock gets down below 10 we get into trouble. We do not need LCJ dribbling the clock down. Instead we need movement and penetration. There were a lot of long rebounds last night and everyone needs to rebound, especially the guards. Go Zips!!! Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Posted March 12, 2021 How OSUcks Athens Campus is taking it to Toledo, is exactly the recipe Akron needs to follow against Buffalo. Attack. Attack. Attack. Quote
bigzipguy Posted March 12, 2021 Report Posted March 12, 2021 Either OU is shooting out of their minds or Rockets playing lazy D or both Quote

Very aggressive offensive game plan. They DESTROYED Toledo on the offensive boards. Quote
AkronAlumnus Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 Hopefully we make our free throws tonight Quote

LZIp Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 Good/odd start with Buffalo having to burn a timeout there. Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 Soooo nice not having Reghi blathering the height and home town of every player when they touch the ball. Quote
LZIp Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 Better get it together, not getting much help from the stripes either. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Posted March 13, 2021 77% shooting for Buffalo, 36% for the Zips. Ugh. Quote
zippy5 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 Need that defensive intensity we started with last night. Been too easy for UB so far Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 M'Balla was worth a year probation, especially during a year that didn't have a NCAA Tourney. Quote
AkronAlumnus Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 We're looking bleak early. Hopefully we bounce back Quote
