I watched 3 games down here with great defense and little offense. This game so far is great offense and little defense.

...should have bet the over

Brutal refs. 

[clarkwgriswold]

D'Antoni is the only basketball coach in the NCAA who has not figured out that making Tribble shoot from distance is a good strategy.

[clarkwgriswold]

Trimble with 17, Tribble with 8 at the half.

[kreed5120]

Trimble 5-7 from beyond the arc. The rest of the Zips a combined 0-6. Will be interesting to see if Marshall starts daring non-Trimble Akron players to make 3's in the second half.

[Illini Zip]

Freeman. 💪

The buzz about the JAR is that KJ Walton is no longer a Zip.

[NWAkron]

3 pointers can cut a big lead fast.

Yeah.  He's gone.  

[Z.I.P.]

I apologize in advance for my ill-informed comments!  😒

I thought we were on the road tonight! 

Who remembers 2003 when Marshall played at the JAR?  We led about 49-42 at the half bit Marshall scored 60-something the 2nd half.  Their McDonald's All-America put down FOURTEEN three-point baskets and scored 48 pts.  Unreal game.  I remember because it was the last game I watched in Akron, and because Dan Hipsher kicked me out of his practice the day before!  🤣

Big one tonight. I don't think anyone was expecting the Zips to struggle like they have, and if it's going to be more of an up-and-down year, they've got to defend home court well.

 

I need to see something from KJ  Walton tonight.  GO ZIPS!

Well, sorry!  😬

Good riddance.  He was a bad fit and did not appear to completely buy in.

Tribble gets an elbow to the face and then get called for a foul.  Are the refs even watching this game?

A cylinder foul? I guess you learn something every day. Geez.

[kreed5120]

Transition defense even after makes has been bad. Marshall has kept us sleeping too much by pushing it on makes when we're too relaxed. It's led to quite a few uncontested pull up 3's and some layups.

They're dropping like flies between basketball and football.

 

That's one way to sell more programs I guess.

Agreed.  I thought the point of defense was to play up close on your man, but I guess no too close.

Not a fit after only 6 games? Somebody should have figured that out earlier. Couldn't have been a surprise.

Freeman is the Zips most improved player for the second year in a row.

From Groce's comments post-game a couple of weeks ago it went poorly early and Groce sat him down to discuss if it was going to work out, then he came around.  Looks like it didn't last.

This Marshall team would compete at the top of the MAC.

WHAT??? We got a call???
