Western Michigan- 2/15/22

[zipsrule]

Down 9-3 early.

[LZIp]

How does this happen every single game..

[LoyalZIP]

Of course.

[zipsrule]

Now 15-5.  Offense struggling early.

[AkronAlumnus]

I don't understand how someone 7 foot tall that plays collegiate hoops can airball a shot from 3 feet away 

[AkronAlumnus]

Akron will be fine, WMU will fold

[AkronAlumnus]

Losing a lot of faith and trust in X 2.0 as of lately, still our second best guy though. 

[MDZip]

Far too many of these 10 points in 10 minutes to open games. 

[zipsrule]

Slowly climbing their way back in it.

[zipsrule]

Ali having a rough game so far.

As I type that, he hits a three..  😁

[zipsrule]

And the Zips take the lead!

[Let'sGoZips94]

Directional Michigans blow.

 

Come onnnnn football. Carry us into a new conference.

[AkronAlumnus]

I like that Norman on their team

[Captain Kangaroo]

Why can’t Castaneda shoot free throws anymore?

[Illini Zip]

Shooting percentage down... rebounding percentage up. Ha!!

[Reslife4Life]

Great stretch from Aziz 💪💪

[LoyalZIP]

This team just struggles to play to their potential for 40 minutes, it’s odd.

He shot 70% and 67% in his 1st and 2nd years then jumped to 88% last year.  He seemed very good early this year but has obviously dropped off.  Hopefully it is a brief slump and he's not reverting to has old ways.

[zipsrule]

All things considered, I'll take the three point lead.  It's not a big lead, but it's better than trying to climb out of a hole in the second half.

[LZIp]

Nice first half by Aziz. I like us being in the lead, but a bit cautious as Norman hasn't really gotten going yet.

[1981 grad]

I just do not understand why we cannot get the ball inside into Freeman.  We did not do it in the first half at Kent and we are struggling again to get the ball inside to him again.  Big 3 point baskets by Trimble and Ali.  Western Michigan cannot get any rebounds in their zone.  Lets hope they go back to it.  The first part of the first half was brutal to watch offensively.  We just miss a bunch of wide open shots.

He's not mentally in it all the time.

One thing I like about the small MAC crowds is that you can hear specific things the fans yell.

White and Norman with a combined 10 in the 1st.   Hope that keeps up.
