As I said against Marshall we would have to put up points. This isn't a team that you can beat 65-60.

This game may not get into the 60's.

Zips could use some help from KD’s buddy sports psychologist Dr. Joe Carr. How can these guys keep allegedly shooting so well in practice but can’t make anything in a game? It’s makes no sense to me, it’s a trend.

It's the smell of the popcorn.

Still a struggle to score.  Now down 53-38.

Marshall will definitely get into the 60s. Akron, however, maybe will not...

I really thought this would be another 88-86 type barnburner like last year.

Sad state of affairs.  I guess the goal is to get one of the 8 seeds in the MAC and hope for the best.  How far they've fallen without Ali and Dawson.  Living and dying by the 3.

Hunter cannot even make a foul shot.  He looks like he has absolutely no touch when he shoots.  Glad that he is taking the ball down low but when we are down we need to make the front end of a one on one.  The announcers finally caught on that X is having a rough night.

Nice to see Hankerson back in.

 

If they don't close it up soon, the Zips should just put in all of the young guys and get them some floor time.

only 5 FTs.

Ali was undervalued by most of the board. He is very efficient scorer as a wing and has the ability to create on his own.

X misses two free throws followed by a silly Enrique foul.  Not their night.  The Zips really seem to be having trouble with Marshall's length.  You'd have thought MSU, WKU and LSU would have prepared them for the length.

Calling my shot: Tavari is a top 2 player on the team by the end of the year.

[zipsrule]

The Zips cut the lead to 11.  

[clarkwgriswold]

Back in the day Tavari would have been called for a carry every time he touched the ball.

[1981 grad]

If X would have just made a couple shots tonight this would be a close game.  He has really been bad tonight.

You could say that about a lot of players.

He’s not the only one.

[clarkwgriswold]

Zips with some real issues tonight but I will give them credit for continuing to put forth max effort.

[LoyalZIP]

Freeman and X have been *awful*

[LZIp]

I can’t think of a collective worse shooting night in a long time.

Marshall gone cold.  We still can't find the basket.

[kreed5120]

We'd be within striking distance if we made our free throws

[LoyalZIP]

Freeman has been a liability on offense. Holy smokes.
