zipsrule Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 With the lead, we can afford to be more selective on the offensive end. Don't rush and wait for a good shot. Quote

Thankfully he's bringing it in other areas. On a serious note, Mike Dawson is 4-7 from three and is contributing in other areas like usual. We don't need Trimble! 2 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Posted February 23, 2022 Reghi wonders where the Zips would be without Freeman and Ali. Yikes. Yes, we can safely assume the Zips would be in a worse position without their leading scorer and leading rebounder. 1 Quote

LZIp Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Albeit against inferior opponents, that's two games in a row where we've looked our part. Refreshing. Big one Friday....make me a believer Zips! Edited February 23, 2022 by LZIp 1 Quote
zipsrule Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 A big second half gets us the win. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 That’s more like it! I liked what I saw from just about everyone, it was a great team effort. Shouts to Garvin Clarke and Mikal Dawson for putting the team on their back in the second half with their best games arguably of their careers. While the drive defense was bad and they didn’t play very good D as a whole, Clarke was all over their guards. If he can continue to play that kind of D off the bench against these guards coming up, we’ll have a chance. It looked to be same old same old with the 7-8 point leads that would be wiped out by terrible defensive possessions, until my man Garv stepped up and buried a transition 3! When was the last time we had one of those? That wasn’t quite the dagger, but it’s something that has been lacked in a big way this year. On to Athens, I’m proud of this team tonight but there’s much more work to do. Go Zips! 1 Quote
Illini Zip Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 I like that Garvin is learning that he can't beat most defenses straight up off the dribble. The stutter-step and misdirection is working well for him. Quote
NWAkron Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 Beating BG by double digit at the JAR on a Tuesday night. Seems like old times. Reading between the lines, Groce's interview after the game made it clear that they are "Post-Trimble." If I were laid up in bed, I would go back and count up all the empty possessions Trimble gave the Zips. It wasn't like he was running in to rebound the 3s he missed. Groce wasn't happy with the defense nor were some of you. Quote
1981 grad Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 Clark and Dawson had their best games of the season. As someone mentioned earlier, the transition 3 from Clark has been a long time coming. We outrebounded BG big time. Great to see everyone looking to rebound. Azziz struggled on defense and did not play a great deal tonight. This is the 2nd game that X fouled out. Weird that X is fouling out and I think Freeman had only one foul. The Zips looked really good the 2nd half on offense and it was fun to watch them making shots. Not sure if BG's defense was that bad or the Zips were playing that good. Freeman was a beast on the boards again. Tribble also had some really nice rebounds. I would still like to see him shoot more. He keeps passing up wide open shots. 2 Quote
LoyalZIP Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 Another thing I've been thinking about: the importance of locking down the perimeter. While the defense against the drive was pretty awful, the Zips forced BG to take a lot of tightly contested threes while only allowing a couple of open ones. While you can both lock down the perimeter and step in front of a driver, I think that made a huge difference tonight. It's the kind of thing I would do against Kent. Force them to score in the interior instead of allowing them to shoot 24' threes that they have proven they can make. Quote
Reslife4Life Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Groce really talking about the "positive vibe they have had the last few days" "Dawson is all about what we are really about, he's always in the same mood: good" Edited February 23, 2022 by Reslife4Life 1 Quote
