Zips MAC Tournament- 2023

[dre22era]

How do you go MIA in back to back games against your rival. Embarrassing.

Xavier Castaneda is James Harden in the playoffs

This needs to be back within 10 by the 8 minute mark, or it's ovaaaa... 

 

X needs to get his head out of his butt, Hankerson needs to make crisper passes, etc. It's a guard game and our guards are crapping the bed.

They are out-everything the Zips. 

You’re right, but Kent has a front runner mentality. 12 minutes to go we still have a good shot.

What a letdown after cleaning their clock late in the season.

Senderoff on the verge of getting to 0.333 winning % vs. Akron in the tournament 

[Spin]

Awful pass. That made Johnny Manzel wince.

[dre22era]

One hand lazy pass creates another turnover. Get him off the floor coach.

[dre22era]

Turnovers turnovers turnovers and we are getting punked out there

[kreed5120]

We look lost offensively. Everyone is pressing, settling for bad shots, and turning it over.

[LoyalZIP]

Empty possessions with momentum are the name of this game. Missed rushed 3 by X, missed good look at a layup from Garvin, and then the sequences to end the first half. The Zips have not played well enough or executed enough to win.

Hoping for a SVP best thing I saw today.

It would be nice to steal this one at the buzzer.

I agree with you, but our chances of turning it over 4 more times is better.

[Spin]

Sloppy sloppy game. 

[LoyalZIP]

The math just doesn’t add up. I don’t know how Akron is even in this game. Had another chance and blew it again. Gonna run out of time soon.

We're in it because we've actually played pretty good defense in the half court. Our miscues offensively combined with Kent capitalizing on them is why we're trailing.

They’re two 3’s from tying it and they can’t stop tripping over their junk. JC can’t be happy with that “effort”.

Groce didn't have the horses this year. Missing a piece of 2. Bummer.

Well.......****.

 

 

I'll post the 2022-2023 Looking Back/2023-2024 Looking Ahead thread tomorrow.  This needs to settle in a little.

[NWAkron]

Tough to repeat.  I will take joy in that either PCCC or Toledo will be bawling their eyes out tomorrow night.  Don't see either of them sitting on any bubbles.  they are the best two teams this year.

[GP1]

Seems like we lost by more. Kent was just better. 

[bigzipguy]

Go Rockets!!! Too many low-class punks on Kent

[LoyalZIP]

Really sucks. I truly can’t believe it was that close. The moment looked too big at times. But despite that 15-point deficit in the first half, Akron really should have led or been tied at the break at the least. So many blown chances. I feel for the guys because they really fought their tails off, they just did not execute. And credit to kent. They drew the fouls in the second half and iced the game. It be that way sometimes. 75-55 forever.

Throw the players under the bus and don't hold the coach who recruited them accountable?
