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.

As I said, Central is a desperate team with nothing to lose. They have a lot to prove and the Zips have been playing with fire except for the BG game.

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.

I'm awaiting the notice that this one is canceled because CMU can't field a team.

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.

Had he an audience he likely would have been much worse. However, this proves he really is an SOB and it's not merely performance art.

super photos. good one of Stan Heath. And I hope the Rowdies love seeing their awesomely obnoxious selves in print.

I'm good for stuff like this, but for in-game analysis...not so much.

yikes. I will make a mental note to follow up on how his pro-career turns out

yeah, definitely a foul or an amazing flop.

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.

My thought on this stretch of games (Kent to CMU) was that the Zips needed to go 4-1 heading into Toledo on Friday.

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.

Spottsville, once again, blows his crucial FTs @ the JAR. How many of these games have we sat through at the JAR? Plenty. To me, no big deal.

Win and move on

Trap game. Let down. Fatigue. With some EMU players out..maybe they will tire as well

This has been an ugly few minutes. Behind again at half. This team is beyond comprehension

That was a messed up series

EMU pushing Zips around

EMU playing with intensity. They are controlling paint at both ends.

Nice crowd getting to see a tired Zips team

Here we go again. 13% from the field.

Another slow start.

Decent crowd tonight. They are playing "Who Are You?" When introduced Eagles. Clever.
