NWAkron

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.

Game 1: (11:00am) NO. 1 TOLEDO --NO. 8 OHIO Game 2: 30 min following Game 1 (ESPN+) NO. 4 NORTHERN ILLINOIS --NO. 5 BALL STATE Game 3: 30 min following Game 2 (ESPN+) NO. 2 BUFFALO --NO. 7 WESTERN MICHIGAN Game 4: 30 min following Game 3 (ESPN+) NO. 3 AKRON --NO. 6 BOWLING GREEN

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.

Win or Lose looks like the Zips are #3 seed and will play Western Michigan! And the Flushettes will be staying home

The Sun Devils have won 6 out of their last 7. Hurley's made up some lost ground. A first round exit from conference tournament would be nice for the world.

Over at the UB Forum, they aren't too confident about playing the Zips, but again they are talking about another "one and done" with Whitesell. They made the finals last year. If we had the play in games, they would be playing Western Michigan on Monday.

Watching the replay, Jackie Windon is so good. She's talking about reading the eyes and how the teams were telegraphing passes. She can't be replaced.

PCCC is going to blow thru Ohio and that side of the bracket. Go Redhawks

Kittens playing the exact same game in DeKalb.Dekalb. difference between Zips and Kittens...Kittens chuck up 3s. Zips went inside.

Tribble after game said they didn't panic. Western panicked. And you could see panic on the face of Central players went it wet south really fast

Central playing with a lot more enthusiasm

Timeout by Central...saw Zips were getting some momentum.

Godspeed anyone heading to Cleveland next Thursday. Don't book an extra night.

4 on Wynn. Hopefully they let them play in Cleveland. I've sat through too many of these soul sucking games. Henderson owning the paint

Toledo better not sleep on Central in the first round.

Who took CMU and points? I think they clinched a spot with BG losing.

Doesn't matter. Kent is beating Buffalo and Toledo beating BG. This game at the JAR is academic.
