Similar in that respect to the Toledo game last year at Toledo. Zips won for the first time in a long time at Toledo but blew a big lead and gave up 60? points in 2nd half. Won by 7 but Groce was as angry as he was tonight.
Halcovage shouldn't have played Freitag. he got bumped in the end at the end of game. he staggered to bench holding his head. looked like he was going to pass out.
If Zips win Tuesday, they will have two MAC seasons in a row with 13 game winning streaks (13-0 to start last season). Don't believe that's been done before.
But Miami....
CMU is clearly a well-coached and potentially dangerous team.
Kent, FWIW, came from the 8th seed to within a fingertip of the championship in 2024. They are always a threat.
BG...I'm not so convinced that they are "legit."
