Game 13- Northern Illinois

[Illini Zip]

Lyles is in. Yes!!

 

Lyles travels. Ugh!!

[AkronAlumnus]

The ESPN+ Ad on Hulu is so obnoxious

Geez NIU had ONE offensive rebound 

[clarkwgriswold]

I like the Zips chances in any game where they hold an opponent to 14 points in the first 19 minutes!

[zipsrule]

Up 35-16 at the half - on the road.  The offense had a slow start, but not a bad half.

[csims0917]

This has to be some sort of record right? 

[clarkwgriswold]

NIU- 14.8 FG%; 8.3 3Pt%.  Yikes!

As a point of reference, Heidelberg scored 19 points in the 1st half; Miami Hamilton scored 22.

And it could’ve been so much better. Actually looks like Akron defense again, bad opponent or not.

I agree. Their rotation and covering for each other on defense is much better today.

I'd like to see the Zips stretch this out even a little more.  I want to see some killer instinct out of this squad.

The FAU mentality. Smoke everyone you can by as much as you can. Helps keep the winning mentality no matter who you’re playing.

Start the second half with a mini run.

[zipsrule]

Freeman has to so frustrating to guard.  He keeps backing you down, you know he's going to spin, he does and scores...and you can't stop it.

Isn't that about the same halftime score as our football game with them?

We were down 35-7.

I really like Tribbles' mid-range, one handed jumper.

[Illini Zip]

What I don't like is seeing Tribble shooting a 3 pointer as a jump shot. That's not him. His set shot 3 pointers have a better chance.

[ewbrooman1]

Is it really necessary to turn on that rhythm ace machine during every stoppage in play? Annoying as hell.

[clarkwgriswold]

No Tavari tonight, in his home state.

[clarkwgriswold]

I'd love to see Sammy go up strong just once.  Just once.

Getting tired of the bad video.  Anyone else experiencing.  I think the radio has better video.

It comes and goes for me. I'm never sure whether it's the stream or my old router.

I haven't had any issues FWIW.

Pretty sure it is them.  Better now.
