In my humble opinion, it was a garbage call. chubby ref has been awful all night. Akron player got mugged at the top of the box (no foul was called) and that led to Xavier goal chubby ref called few fouls in first half. 2nd half, everything is a foul ...with lots of yellows... chubby ref has had huge negative impact tonight on the game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malonepioneer12 Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Honestly in the last number of games the Akron offense has been nonexistent. Henry is hurt, Clapier is coming off injury and that leaves us Shook. No other offense to speak of. I would like to see Wilson at goal although I have no idea if Budler could have done better on the goal. We might miss the NCAA tourney.

1981 grad Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Akron had two great scoring chances and could not finish on either in the 2nd half. Have to finish. The last couple of years Akron has faded at the end of the season. We lost the last 2 NCAA games and now we lose in our first big east playoff. Not sure why this team has been playing so poorly at the end of the season. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRulz Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Xavier seems to have a stout defense; perhaps they have a shot at the BE title. Edited November 6, 2023 by ZippyRulz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippa Head Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 That was the same Ref from the Creighton Game. Absolute Clown…. Game Killer! Either way got to score goals to win games, no excuses. Eat it. Hate it. Learn from it. Move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 XAV 1-0 AKR There is no credible way to sugar coat this. Zips are a worse side now than they were in August. Nothing has grown; nothing has improved. If each season is a journey, then this one has been a bad trip. Xavier is a mediocre team. Their strength is in their back four and GK. (In particular I would single out CB #3 Makel Rasheed.) But offensively, Musketeers scare no one. Zips could not (cannot) unlock the stout Xavier defense. Last night, the passes were consistently telegraphed, late, and without conviction. Seemingly gone are the days of three consecutive one-touch passes in the offensive third. Zips offense has become plodding, methodical and predictable. We are easily frustrated. And our defensive concentration wavers when our offense is stymied. Akron's participation in the NCAA Tournament is now dependent upon the charity of the committee. But it is difficult to argue that the Zips deserve one of the 48 slots. Our last victory was October 10th at Cleveland State, nearly a month ago. Since then, Zips have tied three matches and lost two. Our RPI is 38. We finished 7th in a twelve-team league and then failed to win the first-round match of the conference tournament. Our overall winning percentage is just shy of .700, but we are 1-2-4 away from home. Perhaps others on this forum can make a case for Zips qualifying for the tourney. I cannot. It probably does not matter too much anyway since our likely prospects would be traveling for a Thursday match. Players and Coaches always want one more chance to compete, and rightly so. They should want to prove themselves. But as a fan, it might be better to start looking toward Spring schedule. It is not too early to start gathering information on incoming recruits, and contemplating which current underclassmen will get their chances. I especially anticipate watching Caleb Borneo returning from injury and playing for Zips. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 I've got to agree with you that the Zip boosters have not gotten better as the season progressed. It cannot all be blamed on the loss of Malik and Dyson. We have too much talent to be performing like this. Perhaps there is another run left in them if they get in the playoffs, but if they don't make it I won't be surprised. I hope they get in and a fire is lit in the team. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
