1981 grad Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 Just now, Blue & Gold said: Pretty certain this is the worst game I've watched since the VCU tourney game. Disagree, this is worse. VCU was a good team that played pressure defense against an undermanned Akron squad. What is our excuse in this game, the arena is too big? 1 Quote

Damn ... didn't know we were 12-point favorites AND I didn't realize we still had 1 more football game to play. Bad night. 1 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted November 22, 2021 Author Report Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) On a positive note the loss brings an early game tomorrow which some of us will get to miss due to work. Fordham was projected to finish 14th (out of 14 teams) in the A-10 this year. In last year's OOC schedule, the Zips had a competitive game against a top A-10 team, St. Bonaventure. This year...

Z.I.P. Posted November 23, 2021 Report Posted November 23, 2021 Fordham now has an argument for A-10 membership! 😄 Quote

Ya know. Well, you know i know you know we know we, ya know, competed out there. Hey, ya know if, ya know, you really, ya know, think about it, ya know we averaged, ya know, more than a point a uhhh... ya know, a minute. Ya know? Oops sorry, still shaking off the Arth postgames. Something about teamism perhaps? I find humor helpful during times like these. If I couldn't laugh I'd, well...ya know. Edited November 23, 2021 by ZippyforPresident Quote

Zips v Bulls in Q-Finals of MAC tourney in Groce's first year. I think in Groce's second year they had an awful (get up and walk out) game v the Kittens and SaulBall...reminds me more of that game.

clarkwgriswold Posted November 23, 2021 Author Report Posted November 23, 2021 Groce post-game comments- Fordham dominated for 40 minutes. Zips soft on both ends of the floor. It would have been a shame if we won that game and we didn't deserve to win. Proud of that last group in- Dawson and Wynn and the guys battled. No excuses, just didn't play well. Didn't play very smart. Have to play and coach better tomorrow at 1:30. Quote

Just hasn’t seemed to develop at all since he’s been here. He was left all alone behind the arc. They were daring him to shoot. 1 Quote
TheZipCat Posted November 23, 2021 Report Posted November 23, 2021 How do we lose to Fordham? 😂 Quote

1981 grad Posted November 23, 2021 Report Posted November 23, 2021 This is what happens when you have no senior leadership. When we would get in these shooting funks last year LCJ would drive to the hoop and dish for a basket or hit a jumper. Ali, Trimble, Tribble, just could not spark anything. Freeman was the only one who could score and they had some nice blocks on him in the second half. Lets hope this game is a abberation. After football and soccer, we are all looking for redemption in our b ball program. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 23, 2021 Report Posted November 23, 2021 So exactly what did Our Lady of the Elms and the UpWard Basketball League Champion do for this team in between OSUcks and Fordham? Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted November 23, 2021 Author Report Posted November 23, 2021 The Zips have one or two of these a year. Deep breaths folks. In reality, none of these games matter down the line as we all know only winning the MAC tourney will get them in the tournament. 1 Quote

I do wonder what having zero competition did to this team over the past few weeks. I watched the first few minutes and saw Casteneda getting pressured and dribbling all over the floor as if he was surprised someone was effectively guarding him. Quote
