Going South really fast

This is going to be rough 7 minutes

Geez. Zips got cautious and sloppy. Groce time out didn't help

Geez. ALI...

There's always next year

Side note: OU fans classy as always n the stands starting a fight with Toledo female fan.

I know. Mind boggling. Totally sucked.

Central working the shot clock down and not getting quality shots and Toledo moving in transition. CMU timeout to settle things down.

Central had a few chances at the end to go up 4 or 5. Toledo cold from 3. @clarkwgriswoldmocked me when I said watch out for Central.

2 fouls in toledo and 7 on Central. Toledo on 7 point run. Finally, refs call one on the Rockets.

The 20 CMU fans haven't wasted their trip so far. Assume Toledo will shake the Chipps loose before half

OMG. that deserves an email to the editor. absolutely pathetic. Groce should refuse interviews with this loser. here is the sports editor's email: sfagerstrom@gannett.com. his name is Scott. What a self own by George. Open display of his contempt for the program

I believe Akron is in Section 108 up and down. You need to use SeatGeek. I found 2 seats in that section for the early session. It wasn't cheap. The university can give youo much less expensive without any fees but you will be upstairs since they already doled out the tickets.

I was a Melissa Jackson detractor. The lowly Akron Zips women's basketball team is in the semi finals!! What a turnaround. Now time for the Men to step up tomorrow

I was incredibly surprised that she was playing. That ankle was wrapped and she was on crutches not too many days ago.

Three turnovers and awful sloppy play to begin the second half.

If Akron beats BG, they will have the impossible task of playing Buffalo who are locked in and I would say the favorite to win the tournament.

Watching the DUQv RI game. The same gang is on the bench. Dukes are hanging in there. Hope KD can pull off a win.

That ending re-activated my PTSD. As much as i'm happy for Lamont, I certainly felt Furman's pain.

I also heard something about the Verizon in Macedonia but other than that...I got nothing.

I really miss the play in games. Last Friday could have been really consequential with Akron and Buffalo playing for that 4th seed. Then Buffalo would have WMU tonight.

Agree. The MAC is really screwing up this tournament. 11am games? 5pm on Friday? They are still in covid panic mode it seems.

Looking at the conference only stats, Toledo has an advantage in that only one of their players (Dennis) is in the top 15 of minutes played. Milner and Rollins and Shumate are at 18, 20, and 22. Meanwhile, Ravenna's Carry and Jacobs are in the top 5. My gut tells me that Miami is going to put up a tougher fight against Ravenna than Central is against Toledo. And I still believe that Ohio blew through the tourney last year because they had fresher legs and minds. This year they are tired and are collapsing at year end. Toledo is #1 in offense by a lot an Zips are #1 in defense by 1.3 points.

Looks like the women's team is cursed. Jackson puts Dawson back in and within minutes is injured and is being helped off the court. Rolled her ankle. EDIT: Phew. Jordyn is back on the bench...looking to go back in.😅 2nd EDIT: Starting guard Annika Corcoran injured as well. She's not walking on it. Can't see her playing next week. Fortunately, Coach Jackson has some good back up guards. Oh...and the women won just like the men with a defensive stop.
