Perhaps that LCJ, Cheese, Xeyruis, Banks team could have been great, but we were robbed of knowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip JD Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 So much for the MAC-SB challenge. MAC went 2-10 and avoided being swept only b/c CMU got 6 win ODU and Buff of all teams beat a 5 win team. Totally embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the 3 point shots were wide open shots off the Freeman double team. No excuses. And remember one of our made three pointers was from Freeman.

dirtyolcrowe Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 (edited) It’s time for Tavari. He needs more minutes. He can be the next tribble in developing his shot by playing more. I said the same thing last year about Tribble and he’s such a better player from running offense to creating his own shot. The time is now.

I was thinking about the 2020 team as well, but took a look back at their results and I don't think they were any better on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Groce had nothing good to say about the Zips in the post-game interview. I expect a tough week of practice and maybe some changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s already a much better shooter than Trib was in his second year. If TJ works hard on defense and learns the rotations he will probably get more minutes. He got pulled from several early season games for dogging it and got himself deep in the dog house. Edited February 11 by Zip JD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Tribble Freeman, and Ali had good games. But you cannot play 3 on 5 offensively the entire game. Somebody has to get hot among the other 5 players 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I thought we’d lose by 12. I was close. Lots of shooters, not enough makers. Love that we could play this game. Practices will be brutal this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip JD Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 The Zips are not going to win many big games as long as Nate Johnson in street clothes and a cast is as big an offensive threat as Smart, Thorn or Dawson. One of them has to step up. All 3 get open looks all game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even look at most MAC tournament champs and point to something like that where they got an edge. A lot of the time, that luck is in the injury department. Nate is a bigger missing piece than I thought. Doesn’t mean they couldn’t have played better and won tonight, but he starts for a reason. I believe yesterday marked the 4-week mark for him. Hopefully he’s progressing on schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody has to get hot among the other 5 players To paraphrase one of our opponent’s message boards earlier this year - “The Zips are Freeman, Tribble, Ali…and a bunch of guys.” Dawson and Hunter are virtually invisible. Get well soon Nate. We need you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavari has potential. He needs to earn his minutes imo. Thornton's assist to TO ratio is twice as high as Tavaris, with better defense, imo. Tavari has a higher ceiling but has to prove it with his opportunities, and he hasn't yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
