monrowe Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 The Zips competed with most teams they played against in the first half of games. In the second half the Zips would run out of gas against teams they lost to.Better strength and conditioning is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has everything to do with an inability to put the ball in the hoop consistently. Vs Ohio in the Semi Finals - 14 or 16 pts in the first half & 50 pts in the second half. Prime example, especially being the 2nd game in 2 days. I mean, hell, we won the MAC Tournament which is 3 games in 3 days. We need shooters/scorers. Period. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Yep, I never saw kids with their hands on their knees or otherwise struggling, so I don't think it was conditioning. I think it had to do with an inconsistent offense and a lack of killer instinct. The large number of quality players and portal entries from the MAC has me more encouraged for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohlke came from Hillsdale Collège, just an hour north of Toledo. Was he on our radar? Probably not a great defender that Groce wants, but at some point we need shooters to stretch the field. C'mon now. The reason he launched 20 3-pointers is because Oakland had no other choice. If he only makes 7 Oakland loses. Credit to him for making them, and Kampe for leaving him in against a superior opponent, but that's all Oakland had. We'll see if his hot hand continues in the tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Do you guys realize that the end of the Zips season against Creighton was almost a month ago! I think it's a strong indication of out excitement with the program that we're still actively on here discussing the team. Usually at this point the board has nearly shut down for the year. I believe it's the day of giving for UA. Go give Groce some money and help Bud Wentz out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the day of giving has been going on long before NIL was a thing. It goes towards the University to fund the athletic programs. The University doesn't pay for NIL.

72 Roo Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 The results of this Day of Giving are skewed. No contributions to any sports NIL collective are counted. No membership in the Summit Group ($25,000 committed over five years) are counted. The results are not a dire as would be surmised on first inspection. Would we like to see more from the general public? Absolutely yes! But things need to be taken in perspective. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
