Z.I.P. Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 I saw none of this mess, but...why did Walton play just 15 minutes and take only 2 shots? We're dependent on shotmaking that we can't shoot, and he's the only one who can take the rock to the rack! This is a coaching failure and Groce had sure better accept it!

Blue & Gold Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) We need Trimble and Castenada to both hit three 3's per game and we need Walton to score 10 PPG & draw fouls at the basket. I liked that Dawson got more time today. He hit one 3 & had two others rim out. I like Dawson. I highly doubt either of the freshmen will play this season, as someone mentioned above. But if one does, it should be Kobe. He's a prolific 3-point shooter & as of now we only have 2-3 guys who can shoot in Trimble, Castenada, and Dawson. I just have to believe Trimble & Castenada will come around. If not, we may not win another game all year.

Illini Zip Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 I wouldn't want to be the support staff who forgot to pack the Zip's jump shot and left it back in Akron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't play that well in DC, either, losing badly to Liberty and beating Tulane by 1. They don’t do well because the teams they play in the tournament’s are usually bigger and stronger.Strength and conditioning should also be addressed by the AD.

I'm going to disagree with you on that point. Groce's teams are very fit and are built to run the floor. That's not why they are missing wide open 3s. Talent level, confidence, and attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted November 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 We get a couple of huge letdowns in every Zips basketball season. Let's just hope we used ours up in Florida. On the bright side, the defense has been top notch. Marshall and their high pace D'Antoni offense should be a real test next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Zips are somehow 5 point favorites over Evansville. Do I double down? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 As you can see I like to use humor as a coping mechanism. On a related note, for the consolation game we are now down to me, Coach Groce and the camera man in attendance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can sneak into the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 The refs are calling this one tight. The complete opposite as game one vs Fordham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
