I agree. And I love to see it reinforced. I wonder if Seth Wilson or Isaiah Gray were there also. Maybe they’re playing abroad?

I find that a bit surprising. And I’m interested to know more about that.

🤣🤣🤣

I think they had to defend that play straight up because if the ball gets into Tavari’s hands a floater or lay up wins it just the same.

I know what was predicted, but Toledo played way above their NET 130 ranking if you ask me. Especially in the first half.

Travis Steele can’t go to Cincinnati, he’s too busy drawing up plans for a new arena.

I love how we win not only another game, but a conference championship no less and we lose one spot in the NET.

I can’t read the article, but there is truth in that headline. At the midpoint of the season when Young hit that wall I was getting concerned about him taking the reins next year along with Tai Perkins. Not anymore, he has grown up fast. He still wasn’t ready for that pressure this year so retaining TJ was huge.

Just a reminder, Amani didn’t have the luxury of a redshirt year. We needed an extra eligible body at the time since Aziz Bandaogo transferred out and Sekou Kalle and Prince Mosengo didn’t pan out. That was a sacrifice on his part because he didn’t see the floor at all and really would have enjoyed another year at this point. Being behind Freeman and Sammy Hunter as a true Freshman was such a wasted year.

Nice!!

Groce continues to live rent free in this guy’s head. While I think some of the media questions were ridiculous, Tod just can’t contain how much he loathes Groce/Akron. But you can see that he’s learning. Groce is making him a better coach, but he’ll never admit it. Get old and stay old, seniors play harder because the end of their career is on the line. And experienced players don’t typically make the mistake Kent State made 2 years ago. Indiana won a championship in football with an extremely old roster. Yes Tod, culture matters. Play retention matters. Todelo is a very good team and they might be the pre-season favorite next year and if he does finally win a MAC Tournament Tod will have Groce to thank. But he’s clueless if he thinks Scott’s shot and the final shot were equal in difficulty. Scott has proven himself in that exact situation all season long. Toledo’s final heave miraculously hit iron. Scary close to be honest.

Yes, you remember. Ha!!

I intentionally misspell Toledo…”Todelo” because I can’t stand Tod’s personality.
