The Bison have struggled since being selected to participate in the BracketBusters game, going just 2-2 in the span.
Moreover they have lost their leading scorer in Taylor Braun, who had been averaging 15.2 points, and are generally hobbled, according to reports.
That has led them to focus on defense. Offensively, they are deliberate, playing more of a half-court game. As anyone who has followed the Zips this season knows, that kind of deliberate play which slows them down tends to affect them negatively. It happened against Ball State and Eastern Michigan.
The key to the Zips not being felled lies in being able to play the game at their speed and not taking the game lightly.
___________
