I don't really like wearing hats, but I hope they have other 3-peat merchandise. I'd be interested in that.

Not that there was ever any doubt, but last night was further proof that Groce is without question the best coach in the MAC. The halftime adjustments and productive second half timeouts were outstanding.

29% from 3 and 3/9 from the line and found a way to win. That’s not a charmed life or luck. That’s showing more grit than your opponent. Sorry Tod.

Not for sale yet to my knowledge. Tweeted at Bud and FTR that those hats would sell out if listed on the website.

Tod fails to realize that teams make their own luck and that composure, which comes in part from team culture, plays a huge role at the end of games.

43-2 in our last 45 MAC basketball games.

I can’t read the article, but there is truth in that headline. At the midpoint of the season when Young hit that wall I was getting concerned about him taking the reins next year along with Tai Perkins. Not anymore, he has grown up fast. He still wasn’t ready for that pressure this year so retaining TJ was huge.

I need the 3 peat hat! Does anyone have a link? A coach was in a 3Peat fear the roo collective hat during the celebration. I assume they gotta be selling it to help the collective soon.

Just a reminder, Amani didn’t have the luxury of a redshirt year. We needed an extra eligible body at the time since Aziz Bandaogo transferred out and Sekou Kalle and Prince Mosengo didn’t pan out. That was a sacrifice on his part because he didn’t see the floor at all and really would have enjoyed another year at this point. Being behind Freeman and Sammy Hunter as a true Freshman was such a wasted year.

Nice!!

Tod should really recognize the Zips improvement in title games. Have won by 1, 2 and now 3 points in the last three MAC Championships. I look forward to next year's resounding 4 point win.

This is CINEMA, man. I can't stop watching. Why I love sports boiled down 59 seconds. The agony of defeat here is beautiful in its own way ("Head up, head up! Head up.") We are fortunate to be on the other side of that.

Groce continues to live rent free in this guy’s head. While I think some of the media questions were ridiculous, Tod just can’t contain how much he loathes Groce/Akron. But you can see that he’s learning. Groce is making him a better coach, but he’ll never admit it. Get old and stay old, seniors play harder because the end of their career is on the line. And experienced players don’t typically make the mistake Kent State made 2 years ago. Indiana won a championship in football with an extremely old roster. Yes Tod, culture matters. Play retention matters. Todelo is a very good team and they might be the pre-season favorite next year and if he does finally win a MAC Tournament Tod will have Groce to thank. But he’s clueless if he thinks Scott’s shot and the final shot were equal in difficulty. Scott has proven himself in that exact situation all season long. Toledo’s final heave miraculously hit iron. Scary close to be honest.

agree. give Tod some grace.Toledo played very well. they didnt fold like so many others have with the Zips. zips made their own luck by winning 3 close title games in final 10 seconds and the quarterfinal Buffalo game in 2022.

For a guy whose team just lost on a last second shot I thought he did not act like a jerk. He brought out the fact that we had 5 seniors. I thought Toledo played really well. I thought his players also brought out the fact how the Zips wanted this game. As a Zips fan who has seen Scott make that shot numerous times, I know it was not luck but I can certainly understand his feelings and disappointment.

Screw you tod. Man senderoff’s presser from yesterday was actually nice. This dude basically said we should’ve lost each of the last 3 championship games. Including a “bad play by Miami” not sure what he even is talking about for 25

This was arguably the second biggest shot in the game. Bowen finally got a shot that didn't have him off-balance and he didn't miss.

He can eat a flaming bag of dog turds. What a poor loser.

What fun night. Zips Nation showed out, at least 80% Akron fans there and probably the biggest crowd that I can remember there since maybe 2010 ish vs OU. Good times. Easy to root for this group
