They are one of the best 3P shooting teams in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago This is such an odd matchup. Miami is a high IQ, quality shooting team that lacks athleticism and strength. Kent is an athletic, strong team that is low IQ and not a great shooting team. Low IQ is proving to be the fatal flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsrule Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) As bad as Miami looked in the stretch that I mentioned, Kent followed it up with an equally bad stretch of play to close out the game.

Zippy87 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Who is going to win MAC POY? The top five scorers right now are all on mediocre teams. There's no Enrique-type this year. Does Nate have a shot if he finishes strong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago By Akron not having an obvious Player of the Year candidate doesn’t that just strengthen the argument for Groce being Coach of the Year? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted 52 minutes ago Author Report Share Posted 52 minutes ago Weird year for the MAC, across the board. There's no single player who is dominating the conference. Heck, the leading scorer (Jones from NIU) is averaging only 17 a game. Nate is 16th in the MAC in scoring, 24th in rebounding, 7th in assists and 3rd in steals. Solid and multi-dimensional but nothing that jumps out. If the voters look at who's the best player on the best team he probably has a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't really run an offense, they miss tons of ball movement, take stupid shots, and make stupid mistakes. Exhibit A: That game went OT because they fouled Miami 30 ft from the basket while up by 1 with 12 seconds left (sound familiar?). Exhibit B: There was a play late in regulation or in OT where they had a mismatch in the post and essentially waited until Potter go back in position before throwing the lob down low. Spoiler alert: Potter stole the pass with ease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
