Game 26- Eastern Michigan

[MDZip]

Tribble still all over Bates. Zero points so far. 

[bigzipguy]

Free Throws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Captain Kangaroo]

Our shooting stinks and our defense is EMU-esque. 

[clarkwgriswold]

Bates 35 feet from the ball, on the opposite side of the floor, clapping his hands to call for the ball.  LMAO.

[clarkwgriswold]

Uninspired effort by the Zips so far.

Bates scores - Tribble not in game.

We are really playing bad.  I would bring in Tavari, cannot do any worse than what is out there.  We have been stuck on 13 for at least 5 minutes.  No offensive flow against the worst defense in the Mac

[akzipper]

We really went from looking like the best team in the MAC, to the worst. As a Zips fan I'm not even surprised at this point.

 At least he puts pressure on the defense, unlike everyone except X and Enrique.

[clarkwgriswold]

Yikes.  Another double foul.

[MDZip]

Bates is going to have Zipmares.

This EMU team looks dead. Like we’re only up 9 and it feels like they’re just drained already. 0-8 from three. Sheesh. Definition of a get right game. Run some plays get some confidence back and come home for the next one. 

[1981 grad]

Why would Eastern take a quick 3 from the corner instead of running clock.  This has to be the worst coached team in the MAC or Emani decided to shoot it on his own.  Either way, terrible look.  Of course, we also did not run clock on our last possession.  We have taken a lot of three balls tonight.

You can look at how Kent, Toledo, Ball State, and Ohio are rolling tonight and this gets really depressing.  Trust the process?

Zips are playing terrible and are up by 9 on the road at halftime. 

[1981 grad]

As I have indicated before, Nate Johnson gets the start and really has not added much.  He is looking to pass and really has not made one move to the basket.  I know he is a frosh but I just cannot understand why Tavari is not getting some time.

I know....and right on the point spread.  playing terrible is the operable phrase, though.  But we've been down this road before.

Did I miss Tavari tonight? Has he been in the game at all? Did I miss health news on him?

[csims0917]

Is Kolbe Mitchell still on the team? I feel like I haven’t heard his name at all the last few weeks

[1981 grad]

Nate drives to the basket and now he has made 2 straight 3 point baskets.  I guess he is a 2nd half player.  (LOL)

[clarkwgriswold]

Nate is feeling it!  @1981 grad woke him up!

[LZIp]

Nate Johnson breakout game! Clarke plays some real nice games then some real duds.

Haven’t noticed him either.

[clarkwgriswold]

Eastern is LAST in the MAC in team defense and the broadcast guy says 'if there's one weakness in the EMU defense is that they bite on pump fakes."  You can't make this **** up.

[clarkwgriswold]

Bates has scored 8 points, given up 28.
