ziptrumpet87 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Nice writeup in the ABJ about the game today... oh wait... there wasn't one! Even with the team playing away it would be nice to at least have something in there!Here's a nice article about the game from the opponent's perspective.BTW, we are showing as 3 point 'dogs on the Yahoo odds page. Hope Wood can break through their double-teams and the guards are hitting their 3's tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Tonight is a night where Bardo has to step up big time. They can't handle big players inside, and Wood can't do it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdZip Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Looks like their tallest player of any significance is 6-5. Hopefully that means the ability to dominate for not only Wood but also decent contributions from Milum & Bardo and a follow-up performance by MacKnight. Their guards look tall though.

Stringmsuic12 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Tonight is a night where Bardo has to step up big time. They can't handle big players inside, and Wood can't do it alone. Indeed, size inside has been a problem for the Govs and it was a HUGE problem for them last year at Akron. The combination of Wood and Travis was murder on the Govs. This has been a point of focus in this weeks practicing for the Peay. Also, last year the Govs could not get much done offensively on the inside and the threes which might have loosened the middle a little simply were not falling. Neither the Governors nor the Zips have been able to practice in the Dunn Center/Dave Aaron Arena due to the University's graduation exercises. Both teams practiced in the Foy Center on Friday which is the new student Recreation facility. Interestingly, the Govs athletic Department had to pay for the teams to practice there. The crowd will be small tonight due to two factors mainly; The students are now on holiday break and there is also snow in the forecast (or freezing rain). The Govs usually play very tough at home so I expect a good game. That Travis is gone is good news for the Govs but the Zips still present a problem for the Govs inside so I don't know how they are going to reverse the result of last year as the Zips dominated the boards and scored mucho easy baskets. I do expect, however, the Govs three ball to fall tonight and if it is not then the Govs are in for a long night. Take away double teams on Reed and Lockett down low and the Govs can probably find some production inside if they can go one on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that means the ability to dominate for not only Wood but also decent contributions from Milum & Bardo and a follow-up performance by MacKnight. Their guards look tall though. Starting at the PG position will be Derek (DJ) Wright. "The Blur" is a very small Guard but quite quick. Not sure if Sophomore Wes Channels will start but he may present a problem for the Zips as he has really blossomed this year and has been a problem for most teams the Govs have faced including Memphis. Sometimes Kyle Duncan starts but whereas he is not the offensive threat of Channels, he is the better perimeter defender so it depends on where Coach Loos wants to place emphasis at the beginning of the game. I think the starters for the Govs tonight will be Reed, Lockett, Wright, Babbington and Channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
