Zips fan Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Is BG that bad or were we that good tonight? Wow!! We totally dominated every facet of that game. It was good to see the starters get a break. Quote
Quickzips Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Ok, after Thur. night I called Quade out for disappearing of late for us. He showed up BIG tonight. So I'm gonna try something here headed into the Can't game.Dials needs to pick up his game. I mean come on. 3 points and 0-2 from the foul line? You have to do better than that.Cedrick has really been an anomoly of late. Those two missed FT's against OU could have cost us the game and he didn't score at all in the first half tonight. If we are gonna have a shot at the postseason we need him to pick up his game.Where was McNees tonight? He really didn't do that much.Daryl Roberts still has a long way to go in his development. I'm worried after the performance by Nick and Ced tonight. Daryl is going to have to step it up bigger and quicker here soon if those two guys aren't shooting good.Conyers can't be getting into foul trouble like that and his offensive game is still a long way away from being of any real benefit to us.Nate didn't do a whole lot tonight either. I'm running out of criticism...breather here...ok I'm backThe McKnight brothers have to learn how to stay out of foul trouble and their shot selection is still questionable at best.Jeremiah taking shots from 10 feet plus is not going to help us at all.One good game from Quade doesn't have me convinced that he's turned a corner. He's had good games before and then come back and disappeared for a couple weeks.Bardo is still way behind the pace of D1 basketball. We really need him to step up and take the pressure off of Wood.Ok, that should about cover it. Now that I've called just about all of the regulars out they should all show up and have career nights vs. Can't. Quote

As much as I hate to, I'll be in Can't Wednesday night - GO ZIPS! Quote
skip-zip Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 First of all, our defense created that blowout win tonight. And that will keep us in most any game this year. So, let's look at the offense, and I have two concerns.1) Mike Bardo HAS to contribute. I continue to see him shoot 2-foot shots sooooo tentatively. He seems to lack confidence. And I rarely see him snag a good, strong rebound. And to add to that, I see him get faked off of his feet all the time on defense. Again, I'm really concerned that Wood will wear down if we can't get some quality minutes from Bardo. Was it a mistake to redshirt him last year? When he could have come into this season with at least a little bit of experience under his belt?2) Is our effectiveness starting to tail off from long range? We don't appear to be shooting well from the perimeter the last couple of games. And that is a MUST for this team, and our lack of scoring in the post. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I'm relatively shocked to see so may critical critical posts after such a blow-out win. BG beat OU and Cincinnati...and we blew them out of the gym! Maybe Dambrot was right when he half-jokingly stated in the post-game show "I think our fans are getting a little spoiled."It wasn't all that long ago that Anthony Stacy was burying us at the JAR...Keith McCloud was ripping our hearts out, and Antonio Daniels was tossing down LeBron-esque dunks on defenseless Zips. I, for one, am digging this Zips team BIG-TIME. And I'm especially digging the payback for all those beatdowns I endured over the past two decades.Bardo is fine. I though he had a nice game last night. I'd take Bardo over that fat, lazy Otis Spunkemeyer that repeatedly got out-hustled last night.As bad as Dials was shooting, is as good as he was in distributing the ball. He made some awesome passes last night.Quade got some confidence against the stay-puff marshmallow men that manned BG's paint. How did these softies beat OU? Oh, I forgot...Bubba.Roberts gets better every game. He can both drive the lane, and hit the 3. We'll see what kind of nerve he has on Wednesday.Brett McKnight hoisted 10 shots last night! I like his confidence, and I like how he banged inside. I wonder if KD tries to play him a bit more vs. K.e.n.t.? He could be an "X-factor."Awesome game (again) by the Zips. My only worry is with Cedrick, who really seems to be a shell of his healthy self. Hopefully, after the K.e.n.t. game, the youngsters can give him a breather and let him heal for the stretch run.

I hope Quickzips is right ... overload on the "our-players-suck-and-here's-why" mojo to see if it works its magic at least one more time (Can't) ***** Quote

Zipmeister Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 It's especially difficult to believe since you told them that's what you were doing before you did it. Quote
w00t Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks guys, can't believe some of you guys didn't get that one.I got it, I just thought it was funny that it was posted so soon after we'd just gotten done trashing a decent opponent.I, for one, am digging this Zips team BIG-TIMEYou and me both Cap'n. Great coach, good mix of senior leadership and younger talent, depth, heart, a chip on their shoulder from last year's unfortunate end... if these guys don't punch a ticket to the big dance this year I will be pretty bummed to say the least.
