This is looking like the continuation of the YSU scrimmage.

As long as it's behind JMU. Of course it would be better if they were playing that way.

39-30 half

And yet there team work/chemistry does not at all seem to be an issue. The post-NIL skillset that is most important for a coach arguably entails being able to bring a completely new roster into a cohesive team in a matter of months. I already miss the days of four-year players.

 

I mean they're shooting 43% from 3 on 14 attempts in the first half and only put up 39 pts. Good shooting masks a lot of problems. Let's see what they look like in the second half if we start making our shots. Chemistry is exposed under pressure.

Describes our offensive output in the first half lol

Our guard play on offense has not been very impressive.  The guards have not been able to penetrate or get open looks.  We have missed a lot of open threes.  Bad shooting with little penetration gets you bad offense.  We need better ball movement and better shooting.

I like Ognjen, smooth as Tennessee whisky

[kreed5120]

I think it's going to be key to score in the open court. 14 out of our 30 points came from turnovers. We need to use defense to create offense.

[clarkwgriswold]

Time to shake off this funk and go on a run.

[clarkwgriswold]

1-3-1 out of the timeout.

[AkronAlumnus]

Put #16 in

[clarkwgriswold]

JMU goes zone.

[UAZippers]

Young is far and away the best player on this team.

[1981 grad]

IN the 2nd half Tevari has taken to the hoop and scored.  Great penetration.  Hardman has improved his defense but he cannot hit the broadside of the barn tonight.  Just missed a wide open 3 and it was not even close.  Great defense by the Zips but we need somebody to hit an open 3.

[UAZippers]

JMU is certainly helping with our offensive struggles with all of these free throws.

Amani Lyles would like a word. 😉

Video board guy needs to not work the video board going forward. They replayed Shammah tripping the JMU player and the ref saw the replay on the jumbotron and called the refs together.

It was pretty obvious but he doesn't need to help.  LOL.

[MDZip]

30 points in the first half, 41 so far in this one.

Evan is incredibly athletic

[akzipper]

Monster game from Lyles. Super impressed by his development. If he can play like this all season we're going to be a problem. 

[Let'sGoZips94]

Pretty incredible win. 

[MDZip]

55 second half points, and outscored them by 23. 

[UAZipster0305]

Incredible second half! Great game for Joe Akron to watch.
