LZIp Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 How is there a technical foul on Freeman AND a foul on Sparks on that play? 1 Quote
zipsrule Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Too many fouls. We're going to run out of players. Quote
LZIp Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Tavari has all the talent in the world but these freshman mistakes are killers right now 1 Quote
MDZip Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Man do we miss X. But this team has battled like hell. All the credit to them. Quote
1981 grad Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Freeman having a great game. Hankerson has disappeared. We have been stuck on 61 for the last 5 minutes. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Officiating is a joke both ways. Zips just have no offensive threat. When was the last time we even attempted a jumper? Tavari is one of the most freshmen freshmen I’ve ever seen tonight. Wow. 2 Quote
LZIp Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Could we have played any worse to close this out? Quote
zipsrule Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 We haven't scored in the last 5 minutes. Quote
MDZip Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Sucks that we had to play this game without X. 1 Quote
LoyalZIP Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Man I can’t stop thinking about getting a 5 seconds out of a media timeout SMDH Quote

LZIp Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 This game annoys me. Horrible flow thanks to the refs, peed down our leg at the end, yet we still probably win with X. This team still has a long ways to go with all that said. Need some guys to be something other than a body out there, at least show some flashes. 2 Quote
NWAkron Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 I hate a Friday night loss. Ruins the weekend. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Normally not like this after a game, but I cannot lie I’m livid. I guess I’m not used to losing to teams like that. I’m not faulting the effort. Just so much dumb $*** tonight offensively. They played hard but looked afraid on offense. Just a bad loss. A game they should have won. 2 Quote
Bigzip1 Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Foul trouble hurt us we lost Nate who I thought was playing pretty decent then not having Freeman and GT on the floor for a few mins late in the 2nd half is tough. We went about 10 mins without a FG. I think we win if those 3 were able to play the last 12 mins. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Groce just flat out called it the worst officiating of the year. Can’t disagree. Definitely wasn’t one-sided, but it just put UA’s offense right into the mud. 2 Quote
1981 grad Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 I have watched a lot of Akron Basketball and I cannot recall a game where we have been so hesitant to take an outside shot. In the last 10 minutes I only recall Hankerson taking and missing a 3 pointer. This team needs somebody who can take and make an outside shot. Tribble was shooting so well at the foul line I would like to see him take a 12 foot jump shot. They are backing off of him to drive. Tough road game. Quote
monrowe Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Not that bad of a loss considering the Zips are down three players.I’m a bit concerned about some of the players development and the recruiting of talented height. 1 Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 7, 2023 Report Posted January 7, 2023 Aside from Freeman’s absolutely Hurculean performance, the Zips fielded a completely hapless offensive team tonight,. Hunter provides little if any offense, and has incredibly slow reactions on defense. He does foul consistently after he gets beat on the baseline though. I wouldn’t know Hankerson was in the game if it weren’t for his technical ft’s. Tribble, while playing dogged defense, doesn’t offer much beyond a few floaters on offense . Lyles’ contribution is random at best. Tavari can’t become a sophomore soon enough… So much playing time is available for any Zip that wants to step up. I guess my money is on Tavari to get fed up with playing tentatively and become a legit offensive threat. But right now he ain’t. Let’s get X back, and see who else besides he and Enrique wants do the work necessary to win a championship. And the refs sucked tonight…how weak of will can you be to get intimidated by the Ball State fans? At least they made the get home 45 minutes later than they should’ve. Quote
