Embarrassing loss. They've played down to lesser teams all year and finally got burned by it. All you can do is hope they learn from it and that it's a wake-up call for this group.

Honestly, if they replaced the bleachers with actual seats, that alone would be a huge upgrade.

David Coit is the leading scorer at 19.6 PPG and is only a junior!

If we make a Sweet 16 run, Groce may not be here 😂 Looking at next year and building off @Blue & Gold excellent post, I think we'll actually have 3 scholarships open. I don't see Prather returning (Lyles is iffy too IMO, so maybe 4). Getting an experienced big is a must. Baker has ton of potential but asking him to step into an Enrique-type role is unfair to him and the team. We probably need two. I'm also not yet sold on Tavari as a starter - the potential is there and I want to see him develop over this year, but he doesn't look like a starting PG - yet. PG - Transfer / Tavari W - Dawson / Scott W - Johnson / Transfer P - Transfer / MMK P - Baker / Lyles RS: Young, Mahaffey, Brisco

A few thoughts: - Ugly game. I was really hoping we'd put them away early and never look back but we kept letting them hang around. - Thornton only played 4 more minutes than Tavari. He's also pretty clearly behind Scott at this point. Just doesn't do enough on the offensive end. - Tribble has ended up with 4+ fouls in 4 of the last 6 games. - Hunter is trigger-shy from 3. Passed up a bunch of open looks tonight. I feel silly nitpicking with a 7-0 MAC team, but I think that record is more reflective of the league than it is this team. We have a long, long way to go if we want to win the MAC Tournament and have a shot at a March Madness win.

Groce very animated, motioning for the crowd to get into it.

Just announced at the game that the first 3,000 fans at the Toledo game get a navy t-shirt. It's something!

Need someone aside from Enrique to step it up. Don't let these guys hang around.

Playing down to an opponent again.

FWIW, I went to the Zips official site today and tickets were listed as $15 for GA. On the Zips app, they're only $10 after fees.

Personally, I think Scott seems to impact the game more. 6 points, 9 rebounds last night including a huge 3. Thornton, to me, is Garvin Clarke. Good defense, can occasionally hit a shot, but doesn't have a huge impact on the game. But I want Tavari getting more minutes no matter if it's Scott or Thornton - highest ceiling of the three.

Big game from Tavari Johnson. Looked confident with the ball and did great penitrating inside. I'm hoping to see him get some of Thornton's minutes once Greg is healthy.

It's a rivalry game, unless someone is over the top you've got to let these guys show some emotion.

Tavari and Thornton both with 4 fouls, Ali with 3.

Freeman/Ali carrying us. Quiet night for Hunter so far and Dawson looks way off tonight.

That's a weak technical in a rivalry game.

Scott/Thornton on the floor at the same time is going to limit your offense.

I like Tavari getting minutes here. Thornton and Scott may have a safer floor right now but I believe Tavari has the highest ceiling of the three.

Imagine if you could buy these...

Wow, that is awful news.

Do other schools do this?

“Obviously, you've got to give respect where it's due,” Payton said. “But, at the same time, I feel like if I'm at my best and he's at his, I'm the better player. I don't say that with no disrespect. I say that with confidence.”
