Game 12- Bradley

[LZIp]

What the hell is with the wide open 3s we are giving up. Someone isn’t rotating right.

[zipsrule]

And another turnover. 

[NWAkron]

Can I be "let down" at this point?

[zipsrule]

Hunter with a three.

[kreed5120]

Every possession for Akron looks forced. They're really playing out of control 

[LZIp]

Get the ball out of Tribbles hands.

[zipsrowdy88]

Zips have ruined Christmas. I have NEVER seen us play so poorly in my 4 years here. Plenty of opportunities to crawl back though. Greg Tribble is just a black hole offensively recently.

On pace for a 2008 KSUcks NCAA Tourney Special.

This is honestly amazing to watch. Bradley is playing good D, but it’s not been anywhere close to good enough that we would only have 7 points. The bad passes, the dribbling the air out of the ball. I’m stunned. Truly stunned. 

[Let'sGoZips94]

Lyles with some solid basketball IQ taking that charge. 

 

Make some shots. Burn Prather's redshirt.

[kreed5120]

Outside of Groce first year, this is easily Akron's worst offensive team of his tenure.

And I think it’s Freeman.

X for 3 with a chance for four.

[Reslife4Life]

Okay everyone needs to relax on the doomsday takes 😆

[LoyalZIP]

The ball is too sticky on offense and can’t catch a break defensively. Some missed rotations and close calls in passing lanes. Rebounding leaves a lot to be desired too 

[zipsrule]

How many layups can we miss in one game?

Too many games like this already this season. Our offense stinks. We lost 2 key contributors and Groce came nowhere near replacing them. Things could always change once we get into MAC play, but season so far hasn’t been promising. 

[LoyalZIP]

We lead the country in missed layups

[Let'sGoZips94]

 

The number of missed layups by this team...

Oy vey.

[MDZip]

Shooting 33% from 3. 20% overall. Translates to 16% from two. That's pretty rough. But I'm at least pleased that these are the kinds of teams that we should be playing out of conference. Despite a rough game tonight.

That was an ugly half of basketball.

Coming into tonight we've only played 4 quality teams. We were ran out of the gym in 3 of them (lost all 4). Unless we vastly improve in the 2nd half it will be 5 out of 6. This just isn't a good basketball team right now.

Reminds me of 2018-2019 when Ohio U took Akron "to the woodshed" at home in late February/early March.  That team couldn't win on the road.  Zips have NIU at home...probably a win and then off to Muncie followed by at BG.  These guys won't win either of those games.

That was one of the worst halves of Groce basketball since the first year.
