Groce didn’t sound very happy with the crowd in the radio interview. He was grateful for all that was there but he believes this team deserves way better and challenged the zips to all show up next week for Buffalo
We're witnessing arguably the greatest Zips basketball player of all time and a program that has consistently been at the top of the MAC for like 20 years. People don't seem to give a damn and it makes no sense.

I do not like the trash talking to the opposing bench. It should be a T. I would not expect that from Tribble. He is way too classy a player.
I'd bet the BG players were talking trash when they were shooting 1000%. Tribble probably had enough and was ready to throw it back.
I'm not sure him fouling out is going to hurt the Zips as much as these TV commentators are expecting it to.

The game is on CBS sports network. Not on ESPN+.
Ah that makes sense thanks! The ESPN app said it was on ESPN+ so I just assumed it wasn't televised.

Anyone else having trouble watching this on ESPN+? Both my phone app and TV app say the game isn't airing until 7:30pm tomorrow? What the...

St Bonnie took care of VCU last night. Duquesne got exposed by UMASS.
Crazy to think they padded their OOC schedule with cupcakes and got smacked in their first A10 game. Doesn't sound familiar at all...

I feel like I say this every home game. But man this crowd is such an embarrassment. We have a very talented team and they deserve so much better.

Obviously I wanted the Zips to win. But listening to those idiots openly cheering for NKU the whole game, I really wanted to shut them up. Multiple times they were celebrating because they felt NKU had the game won. But Freeman had other ideas.
This one felt good!

These announcers could at least pretend to be impartial.
This guy thinks he's Gus Johnson or something. Calm down buddy.

This play-by-play guy is already driving me insane. He just acted like that dunk after the whistle was the greatest thing to ever happen on a basketball court and he's been reacting the same way to every made NKU bucket.

Freeman fouls out with 21 points, 18 rebounds.
Hopefully this doesn't cost us the game 😂

I actually think I like that floor better than the JAR. While the paint/logos are exactly the same, it seems like the wood has more contrast to it which is kinda cool. Unless it's just the photo.
I'm happy that the basketball teams have somewhere other than the JAR to practice. Now it's time to fix that place.

For some reason I thought Chris Payton Jr was a senior last season. I'm really irritated we have to see his stupid face for another season.
At least Carry is gone.

Great finish by the Zips. If not for that rough stretch of chucking up quick threes, I feel like this would have been a 30+ point win.

Me too! I was disgusted until I woke up this morning and read a text from a friend who said we rallied in the 4th quarter and won. Great thing to wake up to! Keep it rolling next week in Oxford!
I'm glad I could pick up where I left off and watch the ending on YouTube TV this morning.
It's much more enjoyable watching when you know it ends in a win.

I went to bed when it was 27-10 and woke up to see the Zips won?! Heck yes!

I view Toledo the same way now that I did Akron back in the early 2000s/End of Rubber Bowl era. They win more games and win more titles than Akron did, but the community interest is strong. You can walk into the local businesses and see a lot of Toledo gear, hear people talking about Toledo coaches and players. I used to love that about Akron. Now, when it gets to February and March, people ask me how the Zips did this year or how they're looking for next year, totally unaware of anything. This fanbase is dormant and I can't blame them. I hope it comes back to life one day, but it would take a lot more than a couple of 5 win seasons and a single winning season over 20 years.
I wish this for not only Akron, but every school in the MAC. It's so embarrassing turning on the ESPN mid-week #MACtion games to see 100 people in the crowd. We live in a country where people live and breathe football. The day of the week or current record shouldn't matter. Us Browns fans have been supporting 1-5 win teams our entire life and a lot of us have never lived in Cleveland. Yet, most people who actually attended UA couldn't care less about anything that isn't scarlet and grey.

On the bright side, DJ has found himself again, we at least know who the starting QB will be next week
Yes and the defense seems to be legit. That should be enough to win some games in the MAC. But then again this is Akron....

The Akron Zips - The Cleveland Browns of college football. Losing teams just find ways to lose
The best part about feeling this pain is that I get to go through it tomorrow afternoon as well. Just a great way to spend my weekends.

This team could be 3-1 or even 4-0. But also 0-4 if not for a miracle fumble recovery.
I don't know what to think.

Can the D get us a TD or the ball in a position that generates a near sure score?
This is really the only way Akron wins. I have zero faith in the offense.

Undercuffler single handedly cost us this game. How do you not even throw the ball on 4th down, but also lose that much yardage.

Yes the JAR sucks and yes a 9 pm game is brutal. But this team deserves so much better.
