Good for Ryan Prather. Watching RMU vs wright state and he hit a clutch 3 with under and minute left and then scored on a drive to the basket on the next possession to clinch the game for the colonials

At home! 😄

And they did. That was unexpected and a very nice win.

I would say if they do only one round keep it the one in February. JMU, which was one of the SunBelt's top preseason teams ended up being garbage.

56-50 Zips lead the Rockets end of 3 from the JAR. Let’s show some poise and close this out.

For teams like the directionals yes it is pretty dumb. But for the top schools I like it. It would be nice if they could hold off on the matchups a little bit longer, OU playing 7-16 old dominion could be a much better matchup

Let’s hope it works out better than last year. Basically got nothing from those JUCO DL.

Yeah that was pretty brutal.

Also, just confirmed Jasun Ridley, a DE from Pasadena CC. We've been hitting the California JUCO/CC scene very hard. I understand this is the route we have to rely on with our financial limitations but hopefully it pays off.

That’s something I never thought of in this system…

What's funny is there was a ~10 year stretch that the tournament was hosted in Toledo and they punched their ticket 0 times those years. Half those years it was played in Savage Arena. I think they want the tournament to return to Toledo, but honestly what out of town fan would want to spend 3 days in that decaying city? Cleveland has a great setup. There was a Redhawks fan who said he's gone to every tournament since the 1980s and Cleveland blows the rest away. I feel the ones who complain are the ones who don't actually make the trip to fairly judge. With NIU leaving and UMass joining I would also add Cleveland might be pretty close to the geographical middle for the MAC.

Not surprised. It was pretty sick!

Good. Make Amani watch that on repeat all the way to Troy. Maybe it'll fire him up so he won't play that way again.

I think toledo fans have been saying this since they lost on thursday morning to the 8 seeded Kent a couple years ago. It is so funny to me, where do they really expect the tournament to be played?

Every time Pinky looks in the mirror it's a shot at himself. That's why he always looks so miserable.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but the MWC signed their TV deal. That would lead me to think the MAC deal, which expires in 2027, should begin to see some movement.

I have a vague recollection of Kent winning at the JAR and going over to our fans and taunting them. I thought it was classless then and classless now. I saw the same thing in soccer this year by our soccer team and others. A coach should teach his players how to win and how to lose. I don't know what happened after the Kent Toledo game but if it was inappropriate I am glad the coach called it out. Regardless if you win or lose, student athletes should not act like jerks after the game.

This was just made official on the ZipsFB Twitter account, along with Malakai Ross-Graves, a DL from College of San Mateo.

But did they mention that we won at least? 😅

I did not. I don't bet. Crow tastes good when we still win though.

If you go to their board they blame all kinds of things for their lack of success. Bad luck, injuries, and saying the tournament needs moved because Kent and Akron get an unfair advantage. Meanwhile, they're significantly closer to Cleveland than schools like Buffalo, Miami, or WMU who have all won the tournament in Cleveland. They just lack any sort of accountability. It's funny enough that they don't feel the same way about the MAC football championship being in Detroit giving them an unfair advantage. They will be in for a rude awakening if the MAC relocates, as it should, that game to Haslamland once the current contract ends.

I hate Toledo!! Tod might be one of those coaches (Dabos, Clemson football coach) that excelled before the NIL era because their program could fill the roster with talent at the price of a new car. Now new cars are peanuts and they are struggling to adapt.
