 It is not that we match up badly with them, we just cannot shoot the ball. 

I respectfully disagree with respect to the Zips defense against their offense.  Their starting lineup is essentially four guards and a stretch three (Shumate)  All too often that results in bad switches, poor closeouts and open shooters.  Sammy and Enrique cannot cover their players on the perimeter.  I hoped Nate had better quickness to made up for Sammy's lack of quickness but I am not seeing it.

 

I do agree that some shooting would go a long way.

Yeah Dawson played a big role in breaking up their flow last year in the tournament.

Hunter gets an offensive rebound under the basket.  Instead of taking it up strong he dribbles away from the basket and loses the ball.  That is just bad basketball.  Take the ball up strong!!!!

 

...and then a dumb foul on a 3.  Yikes.  Give him a seat next to Evan.

 

Let's get through this one with no injuries or further embarrassment.

I see your point in the second half.  No way I thought we could stop Toledo.  However, if we shot the ball decently like we did on Saturday I thought we could be in this game.  We are 0 for 12 from the 3 line with most of those being open looks.  If we hit 40% of those shots we would be in this game.

Let Greg go to the rim... all night... if they win at least make them feel it... play strong... make them feel our power...

It bears to reason that if theire smalls can take advantage of our bigs in their offense that our bigs should be able to take advantage of their smalls when the Zips are on offense. Frustrating.
