Captain Kangaroo Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 A 19 point lead at the half, while shooting 2-16 from 3-point range? To quote Proenza: "Wow." Wood and Travis were unstoppable. The reason we had the huge lead was, after every 3-point brick, those guys got the rebound! What an awesome display of rebounding tenacity. Bubba is bringing back memories of Tarver...launches 3-pointers with wreckless abandon...might score 30 one night...4 the next two...and "average" a deceptively decent number like 12.6. Love Bubba's upside...hope to see a more consistant shot in early 2005...but don't expect it until fall 2005-6. Peterson looks ready for MAC play. His game is rounding into shape. Goddard filled in nicely! In the Hipsher era...a la Ken Kowall or Jeff Penno...you'd never see him on the floor again after a nice game. I think it will be different w/Dambrot. Goddard could play a somewhat significant role if Bubba or Cedric struggle. I liked everything Nick had to say in his interview after the game. Aside from a spark to start the 2nd half, Oakland was really listless. The Zips beat them to just about every loose ball and rebound. I saw Oakland play Kansas State a few weeks ago, and Oakland led for most of the game before losing. I expected more out of them. Maybe the Zips just played "that well"? Wood's passing is underrated. He has a good eye for the open man. Big 3 by Preston to end the half. What is his role on this team? 7th man? Speaking of roles...where does Futch fit in? The run-n-gun press style obviously doesn't suit him. Under what circumstances will he see significant minutes? Only when Travis or Wood get in foul trouble? Quade Milum...can he still redshirt? Will he? I can't see him playing 1 minute once MAC play starts. Nice win tonight. Fun to watch. Wood and Travis made what could have been a close game a blow-out.

zipboy Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Good summary Captain. A few other things that caught my eye 1. Travis and Wood look so much better at the FT line. The no dribble for Romeo seems to be working. Wood has some arch now. We need those guys at the end. 2. Wood, Travis, and Peterson are going to get the bulk of the minutes down low. Right now there is a noticeable drop off when Preston/Myers/Futch comes in. Of those 3, Preston is the best bet to do something. 3. Between Goddard, Bubba, and Cedric, someone should have a good night. Goddard is more athletic than I thought. He won't be in there every night, but I can see him playing a role in MAC play 4. It looks like the sum of the parts are getting to be better than any individual. In the past if a big guy went down or had a bad game, we were in trouble. I like that we don't rely on 1 guy. 5. Looking forward to MAC play. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
