Zags game thread

Postby muskieman » Sun Nov 27, 2022 1:06 pm

Duke loss but a chance to play Zags #1 North Carolina went down; why not #2... Go X
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

I have seen parts of two of the Zags games, and they played Timme with 3 guards and a wing a fair amount, all who can drive and shoot threes, and also played with two bigs (a 6’8” or so post guy along w/Timme). X should have an advantage with Nunge, but no one on X can match up with Timme. I’d love to see a combo of Nunge and Hunter. He’ll score 30 if Free guards him. Not having Kunkel is huge, so Kyky and Claude will need to step up. I also fear X’s perimeter guys getting into foul trouble because they have a hard time guarding in space without fouling. Another great chance to beat an elite team.

2-11 and Miles misses 2 FTs. No offense. Miles needs to get some offense. 4 points in almost 9 minutes. Finally Hunter with a nice assist to Jack they must have heard Anti homer

Its one thing to not have the talent of the Zags, but they are just playing harder than X. We are just too careless with the ball and perimeter defense is awful. A good team would at least win one game against three top teams.

because Jack needs a breather. The better question is why is Kyky playing while shooting 1-4?

We can't stay in front of any guards. Glad to see Miller pull Freemantle after his lazy turnover. We miss Kunkel a lot. Nunge has to be a lot stronger with the ball. Tandy should not start. Cement feet. Claude should play before him. Craft played well. I am beginning to believe that only me and Edwards mother think he is any good. Miles gets a lot of time with zero results.

Let's hope Miller had a plan coming out of the second half.

Because we need to score. Hunter and Miles bring nothing to the table right now. The lack of rebounding and lack of closing out on the perimeter is ridiculous. I feel bad for Miller. Claude and Craft are going to have to start doing something while they are in the game.

I can't imagine Edwards being any worse than Miles. We need a PG
