Groce in the postgame pretty well summed it up- Toledo played great... Zips were very good on offense, not so great on defense...Not the end of the world and on to Oxford.

Obviously the basket is bigger on that end of the floor

The overreaction by some is asinine. No matter how bad our defense was compared to our standards, Toledo still had to make the shots and they did from everywhere on the floor at an above-50% clip. Not many teams, even P5 teams, can overcome that type of scoring, and we fought pretty damn hard the entire game. Anybody that has a basic understanding of basketball could see Toledo played out of their minds today. We got their best game (ever - in school history), took the L, and now we move on. There are some good takeaways from this game from the X's and I'm standpoint, but the biggest takeaway is this: we're at the top of the MAC; we're going to be getting everyone's best effort, and sometimes their best effort might be good enough to beat us. Onto Brick Building, OH.

Everything starts with defense on this team. We aren't bad in half court sets but we're surely a lot better in transition, imo

Riak shooting a three. Sigh... New rule for Deng- you're only allowed to shoot from inside the arc (the charge arc).

My point is that was not a game that kills a fan base. If folks don't come again after that loss or expect an 18-0 run in the MAC, then they weren't sticking around anyway

Yep, people say this every time Akron loses a game. We weren't going to go 18-0 in the MAC. The last team to go undefeated in MAC play was Cincy 70 years ago.

Yep, hope they use this one as a springboard. Hard to believe Toledo was 9-8 coming in. They have way too much talent to have that record and they had the better team today. Willie Jackson is "grown ass man" on the boards. Mareon Jackson's performance was one of the better JAR performances I have seen in a while.

You aren't going to win many when you allow the other team to score 90+. We went 0-1 today. Let's try to go 1-0 Tuesday.

NIU gave Zips a parting gift with Reece s sprained ankle

Well the AP vote was fun while it lasted. Combination today of getting our opponents best game and our defense playing sub par. Unsure how Toledo is barely above .500. Good wake up call, though.

This is a game for the record books. These numbers are unreal.

Put LCJ on Jimmy Chitwood.

That is a horrible call on Tribble

We've got some killers. I love this team

I think a big that could shoot it would realize that those who can't are on a shorter leash than those who can. I cringe every time he touches the ball. He needs to be in as he gives us some other things and plays hard, but every time he gets the ball is a gamble.

Groce lit a fire at HT

Not forcing enough action. Need to attack the rim more. Dare the refs to not call fouls.

Many of you will remember Will Meyer from this epic game Ben Lundt- GK for Akron - 110 minutes - no goals allowed Will Meyer - GK for Louisville - 110 minutes - no goals allowed https://gozips.com/news/2017/12/1/mens-soccer-akron-punches-ticket-to-college-cup-edging-louisville-in-penalty-kicks-4-3.aspx

Welcome Will Meyer back to NE Ohio. #2ndStar

I noticed that myself. I guess it's just a marketing ploy to get people to stay for the women's game. I'm planning to attend because my daughter really wants to see the women's team play so I guess I'll be getting my bobblehead!

Our defense is a joke today. Riak and Sayles on the floor at the same time is....interesting.
