geezer Posted November 22 Posted November 22 Men open a three-game string of games in Akron Ohio this evening beginning with Akron University at 5 PM this evening. The Zips currently sit at 1-2 on the season with losses to Arkansas St and St Mary's. This is potentially a winnable game but will take a strong effort. The rest of the weekend includes an evening game tomorrow versus Alabama State and a Sunday morning game versus Omaha. My opinion a good weekend will be to win two and winning all three would be great. Quote
geezer Posted November 22 Author Posted November 22 Lamar off to a bad start. Cards have eight turnovers in the first ten minutes and shooting in the mid 30% range. Quote
geezer Posted November 22 Author Posted November 22 At the under four-minute timeout Cards are down by nine points 24-15. In general the Cards are getting out hustled. Thirteen turnovers and getting out rebounded. Quote
geezer Posted November 22 Author Posted November 22 Cards down by twelve at the half, but if they can control their turnovers and rebound a little more effectively this game is well within reach. Quote
geezer Posted November 23 Author Posted November 23 Cards fall by seven points in their game against Akron. Cards cut the turnovers down to three for the second half and managed to close the gap just a little. It's just my opinion but so far, I don't see the attitude and intensity it takes from these guys on defense. Lamar still doesn't have a three or four position player that can drive to the basket and hit enough mid-range shots to open the lane for others to drive. Tomorrow's game tips off at 7:30 PM against Alabama State, hopefully the Cards have what it takes to get a win. Quote

Let that sink in for a minute….lol. How freaking HORRIBLE is that??!! Quote

The offensive scheme was a little better at times. Our execution was horrible. With our talent we should be 3-1 right now. On the bright side, at least we didn’t do the stupid pressing the whole game and we actually fed the ball into the post a couple of times. I think we need to try to run the offense through the post on virtually every possession. If we played Bulajic and Hamilton at the same time it would create matchup problems. Or even One of them and Errol White (White can score in the post). our defense was marginally better but still giving up WAY too many wide open 3’s. Anyway, FEED THE POST!!!! Quote

That’s not an offense/real basketball. That’s the junk they do in the nba. Not creative enough to design plays so just drive to the basket and pray you get a foul call. I hate that garbage. Quote
