Blue & Gold Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 We’ll, we’re playing good D. Or maybe EMU’s just making our D look good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 If they're going to have a night shooting like this, at least it's not against Buffalo, Ohio, or Toledo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted January 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 At least the defense is good. Holding them to 35% shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Offensive rebound - how do you not call a timeout/get the ball into the PG's hands? I hate Ali iso. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This did not age well. Apparently awful, low-scoring games are just in EMU's DNA, no matter who the coach is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reslife4Life Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Ali having the ball way behind the line with 4 seconds on the shot clock left was terrible to watch. But we got the dub in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still take a frustrating 5-2 team. Always seems to be an ugly game against EMU. I can't remember the last time I saw an EMU Akron game and thought wow that was really a beautiful game. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Physical teams have caused us trouble all year. Poster board material for the weight room in the off-season, especially for Ali, Freeman and Aziz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Way too close for comfort. Lots of big open 3s missed by Trimble in the 2H, but a win is a win is a win. Great second half D, very impressive. This team is so tough to figure out, but I wasn’t expecting to get all three Ws this week the way they’ve been playing. EMU is tough and they’ve got the right coach to turn that thing around. Keep it rolling, on to Mt. P. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the years of X1.0, LCJ, Cheese, Banks, etc., I thought the program took great strides in the off-seasons with strength & conditioning. Disappointed to see most of the guys in this group the same size as last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) I guess a fugly win is as good as a blowout in the standings. It's best to just tuck that away somewhere, and hopefully use CMU to get back on track. Edited January 23, 2022 by Spin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 They found a way. Groce on the post game was much happier about the controllable things than Tuesday, but obviously execution was awful. Looking closer at the stat sheet, tonight it is as alarming as it has been all year the lack of depth. The only two bench points tonight came from a pair of Aziz free throws. Dawson turned in a poor performance overall and Clarke missed an open 3 that would’ve been really good for him with how he’s playing. I don’t think it’s possible for a team that runs with this little depth to win a MAC tournament, which has become my biggest concern. All the pieces were there at the start of the season, but significant ones have fallen off the ship and I’m very uneasy about this team moving forward. I may start to change my mind if they can win a pair this week, but at this point CMU scares me to death with how up and down the shooting and execution has been. Every game is the same I guess, just control what you can control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 I am in the minority but I really enjoyed the game. First, the refs let them play. Very few whistles and very few foul shots. Both teams missed the front end on a one and one at crucial time. Very physical game. Because the refs did not blow the whistle, a lot of bumping and grinding. Although the Zips were the smaller team in both stature, weight and muscle, they won the battle of the boards. The Zips worked really hard on defense. When an Eastern player was about to get an offensive rebound, Tribble climbed his back and prohibited from scoring. They forced Eastern into a bad shooting night We won another close game. How many Zips team have failed to close a game. We just closed 2 close games in 5 days. Finally, a decent crowd. A first for the Zips season, a line in the men's room to take a leak!!! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Spottsville, once again, blows his crucial FTs @ the JAR. How many of these games have we sat through at the JAR? Plenty. To me, no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
