Game 30- Eastern Michigan

[dirtyolcrowe]

Free throws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When the game is on the line!!!!

[Reslife4Life]

Oh my god

[dirtyolcrowe]

WTF?????

[Let'sGoZips94]

Lol. Haven't boxed out all night and it bites us in the ass in the end. 

[MDZip]

Was only able to watch the game on stats, that is almost exactly how I was worried the end of the game was going to play out. Number one seed is gone. F!!!!!

[clarkwgriswold]

Awful way for those kids to go out.  Worst Zips performance of the year.

[LZIp]

Pathetic.

[tomzip]

Good, maybe finally a wake up, this team peaked and I am afraid out in semi finals in Cleveland 

[Let'sGoZips94]

Let's hope this is the basketball team's version of the soccer team's Cleveland State loss in 2010. 

[zippy5]

Very bad. Hopefully a wake up call, but the road to the championship just got a lot harder 

[kreed5120]

Honestly, this was a fitting end to a game the Zips didn't deserve to win.

[zipsrule]

The execution in the last few minutes was a killer.

[zippy5]

It's worrying that everyone has had the answer for us lately and we haven't figured out how to adjust and win in other ways 

[ClevelandZip]

All the potential in the world, but some nights, this team is simply a joke.

That loss to JMU seems to be the turning point of the season. Everything since has been abysmal. 

[LoyalZIP]

Appalled.

[Westie]

Groce has sprayed these guys with rose petals all year. He’s gonna need to drop that act right now. This team needs a foot up it’s collective a—!

Hard to adjust when you don't have the personnel to fix things. 

Teams triple Freeman and play off of Ali and Tribble. The rest of the team fires up bricks and takes dumb, early shots. 

The underclassmen don't talk on D and run through the motions during their offensive sets. 

I need way less Dawson and more Prather. He's at least active on offense.  

[Reslife4Life]

not a good look for Dawson

[dre22era]

I blame this epic choke on the Staff and their scheduling. 

Have a true Senior Day and stop being fancy.

We set our own trap having Senior Day against NIU. 

Played up for that game and then thought we could Half Ass it against a team we were favored by -21.5 to beat.

Team was dead, Arena was dead 

Good Job Staff

EMU was without its leading scorer. That is some serious salt in the wound. Shows you just how awful Akron played tonight. 
 

Serious funk going on

[zippy5]

Btw just wanna mention how horrific of a TO that was that Heath took and they didn't deserve that bounce. He had his top guy 1 on 1 and then forced them to scramble after having to inbound it. Really dumb move that shouldn't have been rewarded

Barring Kent having an out of body experience in Toledo and Akron winning, looks like zips pretty much locked into the 2 seed

[1981 grad]

Remember in the Kent game when I pointed out how Dawson was ball watching at the 17:00 minute mark and did not box out his man and Groce did not pull him and Tavari got pulled when he did not fight through a screen.  I got a bunch of negative comments.   Well, here you go again.  Dawson did not box out his man again.  And this time it cost us the game.    

[dre22era]

Them missed free throws gave me Cedrick Middleton flashbacks 

May have cost us the Regular Season Chip and bumped us back to a 14 or 15 Seed line if we found a way to win the MAC Tourney.
