ewbrooman1 Posted January 4 Report Posted January 4 (edited) Why do we only have 8 players available? More defections? I see Vesicky is there hurt or sick. Is Riley still on the team? Also, why does the audio link connect to last night's men's game? 🙄 Is there no radio broadcast this year? Edited January 4 by ewbrooman1 Quote

MDZip Posted January 5 Report Posted January 5 Tough to compete with a program like Toledo with a small rotation. 20 point loss, but Alexus Mobley had another really good games. Almost half Akron's points. Was worried she had also hurt herself absorbing a hard foul and then had a pained look on her face and couldn't get up. Apparently someone was stepping on her hair. 😂 Quote
MDZip Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 Nice win tonight vs NIU. They were outscored by 10 to 3 at the end, but NIU missed a game tying layup at the buzzer. Alexus Mobley outstanding again, but Zakia Rasheed 7-12 from three. 1 Quote

And BTW, the Huskies, if you didn't hear were the team to end Toledo's 20-game home winning streak...only to lose back-to-back games now to Ohio and Akron! Strange happenings in MAC WBB!

Hilltopper Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Chalk up another win for the Lady Zips against EMU today! 5 Quote

Nice of the EMUs to basically give up down 5 with 23 seconds left and fail to foul the Zips for 16 seconds. Reminded me of our coach's bad strategy at home against BGSU last year. 🙄 1 hour ago, Hilltopper said: Quote
zippy-claws Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 Well done! Looks like they picked up Ellen Kinnaird from the volleyball team, she got 60 seconds PT at EMU according to GoZips.com (isn't that 1 minute?). So we're up to 8 on the available roster. Winning with 7! Wow. 1 Quote

Copley Don Posted January 16 Author Report Posted January 16 Outscored 24-8 in the 2nd quarter. Woof. 40-22 CMU 1 Quote

Copley Don Posted January 22 Author Report Posted January 22 Winnable game tonight in Oxford. Feel like we need a good showing here to get the season back on track. Quote
Copley Don Posted January 23 Author Report Posted January 23 Welp. So much for that. Hard to win with a 3 point 2nd quarter. Was hoping for a little better effort with Buffalo on deck and a trip to Stroh following. Not sure what to even look to see from the team in its current state at this point. Maybe we can get up for the pair of Kent games in February… Quote

I've watched most games on the stream, but not attended any games like I normally would due to another year of inconsistent play and inconvenient tipoff times. Seems to me it would also make more sense to play the women's game first in a doubleheader so fans could arrive a little early and see the second half. I think more people would do that than stay for the entire women's second game. Just my opinion, but I've attended most women's games in previous years. Edited January 24 by ewbrooman1 2 Quote
csims0917 Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 I wish I could agree but most of the student core doesn’t show up til right before the men’s game. Hence why they’re doing the bingo night and prize giveaways to try and get people to stay for the second women’s game. Some of the prizes include jerseys and signed basketballs! 1 Quote

Well, apparently they don't stay after either because there's only a handful left after the men's game. Good attendance for that game, though. The corner section was pretty full, too. Quote
Hilltopper Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Nice crowd. The Zips are off to a good start. Leading 25-12 after 1st qtr. 1 Quote
csims0917 Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Pretty good crowd for girls. We got two groups of chanters doing our best 1 Quote
Copley Don Posted January 30 Author Report Posted January 30 Zips fall 82-69 at the Stroh Center. Unfortunately, I think they played about as well as this group is capable of at this point. Kent hosting us on Saturday, let’s hope for a good showing after our boys maul them Friday night. Quote

One of them is a freshman who just arrived on campus atbthecstart of second semester. 3 starters from the beginning of the season lost to injuries and personal issues. 2 Quote
Copley Don Posted February 1 Author Report Posted February 1 Absolutely brutal start. Zips trail 20-4 end of 1st. 1 Quote
Copley Don Posted February 5 Author Report Posted February 5 I view tonight as a must win game and will be a good barometer of where the program is at overall. This should be an auto-win but given our circumstances let’s hope to see the girls rally tonight and end the 6 game slump. Quote
