LZIp Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Nobody in the MAC is beating OU tonight the way they are shooting, but it sure would be nice to get offensive contributions from literally anyone outside of X and Freeman. 2 Quote

Toledo's response: Why not both? Ohio took up that challenge. 1 Quote
ewbrooman1 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Over. One step forward. Two steps back. 🤨 Quote
GoZips88 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Gonna date myself here but I was a freshman Jakubick's senior year and I also had the pleasure of watching Mark Alberts fill it up. MAN what I wouldn't give for an 'automatic' to take the pressure off X and Freeman. Edited February 11, 2023 by GoZips88 1 Quote
1981 grad Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Sammy Hunter is back to being the popcorn player. Cannot hit no matter how wide open. Hankerson is struggling also. We have seen this movie before but Bobcats are just hitting everything. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Cold shooting vs. a team that can’t miss + Freeman gets absolutely smoked in the face w/ no call = Let’s head up to Ypsi Quote
NWAkron Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 wow, 70-52. Time for panic posting: "has Groce lost the team?" "Melissa Jackson on line 2." 1 Quote
MDZip Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 No reason to overreact to single wins and losses. It's a long season. They'll be fine. 1 Quote
GoZips88 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Wilson eating us alive down low. Quote
NWAkron Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 23-46 9-18 7-14 50.0% 50.0% 50.0% shooting 50% across the board Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted February 11, 2023 Author Report Posted February 11, 2023 It is a part of our burden as Zips fans to go through this...every...damn...year. 1 2 Quote
zipsrule Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 38 minutes ago, NWAkron said: they are shooting 50 and 54 % respectively. the problem is at the foul line but even making 4 more would leave the Zips in a tie. They don't need SHOTS. They need STOPS. they couldn't get those stops against Toledo and Ohio isn't as good at Toledo so the lead is only 4 instead of 10. Look for Ohio to pull away in the first 4 minutes. Maybe they can re-group in Ypsilanti like they did last season Good point. Quote
MDZip Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Good God they're gonna hang 90 on us. Only about 30 more than our typical defense. Groce is not going to be happy. Quote

LoyalZIP Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Zip offense has actually been fine. Lots of easy looks manufactured all around. Relatively smart in transition. Just not our night. Remember March 12, 2022. We’ll be cool. 1 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 I hate watching OU’s crowd have such fun at our expense 😡😡🤬 1 Quote
LoyalZIP Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 The way I look at it, Akron basically won this game, tbh lol 1 Quote
1981 grad Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 At least they are fighting hard until the end. We played some bad basketball and may lose by single digits. 2 Quote
NWAkron Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Zips won a few games this year because of a serious advantage at the FT line. That's been reversed these last two games. They will fix that by Cleveland. Quote
Phootss Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Freeman is turning over the ball way too much. day dreaming? Quote
LoyalZIP Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 All the Kittens had to do to win by 9 was shoot 60% from 3 and 20-23 at the foul line. A net win, IMO. Everyone congratulate X on being named MAC player of the year! 2 Quote
Illini Zip Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 We need to clean up some defensive breakdowns and the supporting cast needs to step up more. But other than that I’m alright with burning the tape. Not our night. 2 Quote

It's been a long season, and he and X carry the team. I'm not rationalizing but if the Zips were rolling right now, I would be wondering when they were going to hit the wall. They get an extra day before EMU. Give the guys some rest. 1 Quote
