3 mins in, Toledo up by 10 on Cardinals. Doesn't look like the Zips are going to get any help from the rest of the MAC

Toledo and Akron have played same amount of MAC games. Some of the bottom feeders this year seem to have given up and won't finish their seasons. Mind-boggling that NIU and EMU claim their only wins over Akron?

In the world of COVID, no fans, crazy scheduling, etc you just got to take the win however you get it (duh, right?). I.E. rack up what they can and forget the style points.

Wake me up when it's over.

well they sapped any joy out of what hopefully will be a win. JFC!

ugh. pure torture. end this already.

first 4 minutes crucial

Like winning at Toledo.

No. I didn't notice.

This is when we would be asking who is making the trek to Garrettsville for the big game. All on the line tonight for the Zips. Make or break moment for the 2021 season.

I'm with you. Hey, we all got our sad stories. Win is a win.

I think we are at or past the "some point " stage. Different players, different look, just can't exchange any of the guys this year for Cheese and Banks.

an exact replay of last year's game at the JAR. Toledo was lights out and also was red hot from the foul line which was always the Zips big advantage. 8 non-conference games would have really helped the Zips. None of the guys have the fire of Cheese and Banks.

I know...but I can't sleep. Hes not as bad as the guys who join the football threads.

That is so patronizing and condescending. We are NOT casual fans and the basketball knowledge on here is high and those who don't know the Xs and Os like myself don't pretend like we do.

Against EMU last year, he gave the assist to X for the game winner. The last game against Toledo he gave the assist to Maishe for the game winner. That's nice you know the guys.

Yes. And they certainly have the advantage of playing a lot more games. And frankly all those years of cheating may finally pay off for them this season.

BigZip1: frankly, i like a differing point of view. But you are only 20 posts in and are doing some serious trolling of the Zips top player.

Trivia: Last time Akron face Toledo in the MAC tournament was a first-round game in 2009. Akron won in OT...on a last second shot. the longer drought is against Central Michigan and that was 2008.

Knives are out. Some controversy and recriminations!! We haven't had a good dose of that in the basketball threads since KD bailed.

i wouldn't call Toledo less-talented. They may just be the better team this year. Their record proves that.

Agree with that. They are choke monsters. I think there will be a tournament. The schools are letting some fans into the games, and I think it would be just completely rotten to take that away from the players two years in a row. It's a seeding issue at this point. And, yes, they do have Zips #. The last 3 games against the Zips they've scored over 90 points. Houston, we have a problem.

Too soon?

Toledo seems to have had the advantage all year. they got more games in and only loss in MAC is by one point in OT. Just too bad Zips weren't ready for EMU and NIU. Those two losses will haunt rest of the season.

yep. just like last year's game at the JAR
