Game 9- Northern Kentucky

[LZIp]

Lame T, but if we're being real, Enrique would've had about 10 of those so far this year.

[clarkwgriswold]

Pretty high energy and quick pace so far.

[Let'sGoZips94]

NKU has to miss at some point, right?

[clarkwgriswold]

Scott and Thornton first subs in, for Greg and Ali.  Dawson on his way in.

At least. I forget which game it was - maybe Utah State? - but he had 2 within the same inbounds play. Not sure I understand why that isn't called out by the coaching staff, but ce la vie. 

[Blue & Gold]

Surprised Dawson was put in on first rotation. Thornton & Scott in.

i love Scott’s hustle.

[clarkwgriswold]

Looked like a 2-3 matchup zone for the Zips there for a minute.

[Blue & Gold]

That was SICK!!! Great pass by Ali!

[Let'sGoZips94]

Holy smokes! Ali with the dribble drive, pass between defenders to Freeman, who dunks over 3 guys for the and-1.

[clarkwgriswold]

Dawson came in for Sammy.

[LZIp]

Ali looking pretty great!

[clarkwgriswold]

They don't look Scandinavian.

Ali Ali was practicing with the team this entire time. Two things...

 

1) That should allow for a pretty seamless transition with him in actual game play. 

 

2) I wonder how much of our offensive woes in our losses are predicated around not exactly knowing how to play without Ali. 

[Illini Zip]

High level game thus far.

 

The Zips just look so much better.

 

And Ali is a threat to score at all levels.

Sorry my post was broken lol. Ali Ali is killing it on defense rn and creating offense too. So excited 

[UAZippers]

I am loving the high-low post with Ali and Freeman. That can be an absolutely lethal combo.

[Illini Zip]

No Tavari yet.

This play-by-play guy is already driving me insane. He just acted like that dunk after the whistle was the greatest thing to ever happen on a basketball court and he's been reacting the same way to every made NKU bucket.

He's the best 14 year old announcer in Highland Heights.

If we could make some wide open 3 pointers we would be up by 15.  Zips are playing great offense.  I wish we could hit some perimeter shots.  Freeman is just a beast tonight.  

[clarkwgriswold]

There's the zone again.

[Blue & Gold]

Nate’s figuring out he can create a shot whenever he wants.

[clarkwgriswold]

Sloppy stretch.

[clarkwgriswold]

If he says "banking board" again  I'm hitting mute.
