Double Overtime😳😳😳

App state had two free throws to win the game. Missed both. This is unbelievable

I love the Mid American Conference Conference 😂

Nothing will be as bad as Kent vs JMU. But this is wild

Toledo needs this game as much as possible. Would be huge for them

In one of the wildest shooting halves I’ve ever seen Toledo is beating App State 47-46. Both teams are shooting ridiculous. App state at just under 80%

Toledo and app state went 7 minutes with no commercial break. Best kind of basketball

I think the key to the game is slowing down JMU at the perimeter. They can shoot and will shoot a ton. Akrons offense can’t start slow or fall asleep today. Need to win this game like 78-76. I really can’t see this team keeping up if JMU drops 80+

Big day for the zips! This is the last chance for Akron to take a big jump in NET rankings. Obviously the chance for an at large is slim to none we’d have to blow everyone out by 20 and the P6 teams would have to cannablize themselves. However, you may not want to think about this but a win today could really help the Zips make the NIT if they lose in Cleveland. Cheer for the Zips and the rest of the MAC today to make a statement. Last chance for a big statement to the national world. I love that we get to play in this. The MAC-SBC is a very cool thing that we need to take advantage of. LETS GO ZIPS

How are you guys feeling about the MACs chances tomorrow? We’re currently up 2 in the challenge at 7-5. The SBC has become very top heavy since the last time we saw them, I think it’ll be a bit closer than some think. We just need to go 6-6 to win the challenge. Does it matter? No but I like to have fun with my rooting interests for a day. Root for every MAC team!

I’m not sure. I think it’d be pretty high stakes if the winner of the MAC-SBC got a higher seed. But unfortunately I doubt the voters would really care unless the mac just dominated tomorrow.

Friday games > Saturday Games theres only 3 games tonight it’s the best way to get national viewing. At least we’re on ESPN 2 tomorrow still

Pretty much everyone. Very happy it got moved to Friday there are way less games that day

Im convinced hes an akron alum. He always features us on his stuff

Why he’d stay: He seems to love Akron and the zips His kids go to Ohio schools with his oldest playing for revere Hes under contract til 2030 at about 600K a year He’s got a great recruiting class coming in Great alumni who support him at Akron and stay connected with the team Seems to have a decent relationship with the AD. Considering the extension Seems like he prefers the mid major level and the smaller scale compared to when he was a coach in the Big 10 Why he’d leave: Bigger money from a P5 or higher mid major Little to no chance of a new arena. A renovated arena at best Will be coming off his best team ever full of seniors with high character and potentially an nba draft pick Proven ability to keep players from leaving through the portal as well as getting people from the portal to come to Akron I’m in the middle with Groce. I’m still leaning to him staying and maybe that’s just the bias but overall my mindset is enjoy one game at a time. Cause this season is amazing and I want to enjoy every second of it

I do wanna say I really liked how the MAC did our scheduling. In conference play we faced every team 1 time and then face the SBC team. Then we basically get a bye week before the last 7 games of MACtion. Seems like a really nice system if they continue this challenge

John Groce said this will be our strongest SOS based on kenpom at the time of play in UA history

Bad night shooting but beating the “2nd best team in the MAC” by 20+ with two starters out is still a good outcome

11-0 at home with the bolts up next

We have an Evan Wilson warning🚨🚨🚨

One section of the crowd is just all the student athletes who made the presidents list or deans list, very cool but I’m sure most of them will go home.

He was walking fine in warm ups and took some close shots toward the rim. Probably was precautionary more than anything

I expected a dud. When was the last time we had 3000+ twice in a row

Ali is fine but Sammy is in sweats..

Seems like our lucky number this year
