Toledo always looks like world-beaters until they hit Cleveland in March.
re-watched last few minutes. The guys really seem to be cool under pressure but for Xavier and Ali getting frustrated with each other after Ali's travel. They had a close up of the CMU bench during a time out and one of the players turned his head away while the Coach Barbee was talking to him and Barbee grabbed his arm and yanked him back into the huddle.
Watching Buffalo at Toledo. Buffalo upping their game since the loss at the JAR.
Toledo is tough. Zips are looking at a world of hurt on national TV Friday.
CMU is desperate at this point. They got nothing to lose. Their record is terrible, and they lost their best player. And they haven't had competition in weeks. Their last game was 31 point loss to EMU. This would be a total collapse and fail if the Zips lose this one.

His team isn't doing well, and he doesn't have an audience to play to.
If you look at the roster, they put up the only 3 juniors. There are no seniors. With the COVID exemption, they all seem like Seniors. Gregg Tribble is considered a sophomore.
These guys found a way to win in front of a really nice crowd. They were clearly worn out. Trimble: there's that "rule" in golf that it's difficult to follow a round of 61 with another really low round. Good mental conditioning for March. They certainly won't EVER be looking past the next game.
