clarkwgriswold Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 The Zips take on Evansville at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday in the game to determine the prestigious 7th place in the Gulf Coast Showcase. Here's hoping that the Zips can come home with at least one win from this abominable road trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 They are like a combo of Groce's first two seasons minus Kostelac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Trimble is 3-3 from 3. Walton still invisible. Nobody moving around on offense, a couple of turnovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 If I wouldn't sound salty about Akron losing, I'd definitely ask for a refund on my $30. The stream video quality is good enough, but everything else... Took them 3 game minutes to get the score to change from 0-0. The stream breaks at almost every commercial break and I have to disconnect/reconnect. The audio volume seems to fluctuate. Looks like another half with <30 points.

Horrible product for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Shots are falling a little bit more today, but still many empty possessions on offense. These guys don't have any on-floor chemistry. Terrible iso-contested long two by Trimble followed up by a transition three from Dawson. No bueno Now a second offensive foul by Walton...

UAZippers Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) 3 fouls on KJ already... 2 of them charges. He is struggling mightily. Edited November 24, 2021 by UAZippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After yesterday's abomination, I said we need three 3's from Trimble, three 3's from Castenada, and 10 points from KJ. Trimble submitted his contribution 2 minutes into the game. Lol. KJ looks frustrated. Castenada... we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippypitt Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 No doubt Walton has been a dud thus far. We need his scoring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 KJ indeed frustrated. X and Ali have combined to miss 4 FTs in a row. They're just broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If KJ's funk continues throughout the season that has to fall at the feet of Groce, right? KJ led Ball State in scoring last year. He's a player and is experienced. Something seriously wrong with our chemistry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously don't want to rely on shooting this well from three, still need to attack the lane with more success and get Freeman more layups. D looks good, forcing long possessions and tough shots.

LoyalZIP Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Zips up 28-20 at the final media of the first half. 4-0 run by Evansville triggers a Groce TO. Couple bad possessions for Akron. Aziz has Riak hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Zips up 33-20 at the half. Great defense, great outside shooting, horrid free throw shooting. I guess the trade off today is we're taking the outside shooting and giving away the freebies, so I feel less bad about having to shoot this well to have a lead. Defense has been really good. They hit a bunch of contested shots early on, but made them less down the stretch. I'd have to look at the stats, but it feels like they're giving up quite a few second chance points. Tribble is playing well, only a couple of bad shot attempts. Ali on fire. Trimble cooled off a bit. Overall, solid half of basketball but this team still has a long way to go today.

Illini Zip Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 It turns out the Zips jump shot was not left back in Akron, but rather misdirected through Dallas. Better late than never. Go Zips!! Their defense has been solid again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 I think KD used to say when the guys are in a FT slump you can't mention it to them or it just makes it worse. They will work their way out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
