LoyalZIP Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I’ve never seen so many open misses by D1 players. This one could get ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't even make it to Cleveland at this rate. Aziz is like Zeke in the first year. Just foul him...he won't make his FTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsrule Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 We're holding App State to 29.2% shooting - and we're losing. We're shooting 23.1%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandgold Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Ever wonder if something is off with the rims? Not an excuse, but everyone looks ridiculous in all these games. I know, this is probably the dumbest thing I've ever said on this board, but I've seen it happen before.

LoyalZIP Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 It’s so odd. There are so many guys on this roster with proven offensive ability. They play the best defense in the MAC, some of the best in the country. Maybe they focus too much on that in practice. It makes no sense that they can this much of a mess offensively.

zipsrule Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I do like the fact we closed out the half on a 7-0 run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Lucky to be down 1 at the half. Keep the D up, I guess that’s all you can really depend on at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 19, 24, and now 21 points in 3 halves of basketball in Florida. 28 in the first half vs OSU. So in 2.5 games vs D1 competition, the Zips have one half scoring >30 points. Not a good sign for a positive season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 What have been the final scores of the other games? Are other teams struggling to score in here? Or are we playing great defense and lousy offense through 1 1/2 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When KD was coach, we had great shooters but we were not athletic and everybody on this board indicated that Akron should recruit athletes, we can always teach ball players to shoot. Maybe we were wrong. (LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't be surprised if Trimble is 1/10 from 3 so far this game and at least 1/20 in the whole tourney.

1981 grad Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 The second half starts same as the first. One turnover and 3 missed 3 shots. What about those law of averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) effing dejavu with Aziz. I could coach the other teams and tell them the bare minimum they need to do to beat Akron. There was a time when I enjoyed looking at the MAC stats and see the Zips leading in FT shooting and 3 point % and close in other categories. Going the same route as yesterday's game. Whichever laid off professor put a curse on the athletic program did a good job! Edited November 23, 2021 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Can’t hit the ocean. This is crazy. Absolutely crazy. What bums me out so badly right now is this is the team we should be able to rely on. To hang our hat on. Especially after a terrible football season and disappointing soccer season. If this team can’t improve, I may lose my mind. I care about this crap too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've tried but I swear there's a curse. 11 point difference is made up in FTs. +7 for them and -4 for Akron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akron basketball has been my escape from the other garbage teams I watch (Browns, Zips football, Guardians/Indians). At least the Cavs are fun to watch this year. I can only hope I'm getting too low after the optimism I had from the game in Columbus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I'm just following the stats and the lack of free throws shows they aren't being aggressive going to the rim. Isn't Walton supposed to be driving and slicing and drawing fouls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
