Maybe 5-6 inches here, nothing that should hold up a game.

I'm thinking that if the Zips are down three with seconds left and the ball, old Tod "Red" Kowalczyk will have his players foul this time.

I'd love to beat Toledo but we all know that nothing really makes any difference but the game on March 13th.

Pippen is at 20.9 ppg, 9.2 rpg and 3.5 apg. LCJ is at 20.5 ppg, 2.5 rpg and 6.7 apg. They will both get a chance to state their case Friday night in the Brimfield Agricultural Exposition Center.

I even more enjoyed watching the reaction of his teammates. They were really enjoying his success which tells me this team is coming together. His frame reminds me of Jimond Ivey. I think you'll only see him in blowouts. He may have potential but this team is already so deep it would be nearly impossible for them to find minutes for another player.

It doesn't help that I hate Spectrum with every inch of my being

I prefer ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ESPN+ as those are what I can get. It's a shame that all of the ESPNs are not included in ESPN+.

It's going to be a rough stretch. Toledo is ESPN+, Streetsboro Agricultural lists no TV broadcast on the Zips site but says ESPNU on SA's website (ugh), OU is CBS Sports Network (ugh) and Miami is ESPNU (ugh).

This game is going to be a real test for the Zips. It would sure be nice to put another L on Toledo's slate and remind them of where the MAC title presently resides. A win at Toledo is going to be a tall order. The Zips primary advantages are defense and depth. Toledo really plays only 7 players. Hopefully, the Zips depth and ability to always shuttle in fresh players will wear them down. Do that and lock them down on defense and maybe the Zips are at the top of the MAC Tuesday night.

Toledo killed BG by 18. Toledo got off to a 9-0 start, BG came back to get it close in the middle of the first half then Toledo went on a run and pulled away for the rest of the game.

The 10-3 Zips head off to Toledo Tuesday to play the 15-4/10-1 Rockets in a battle of MAC favorites. Toledo comes off of an 18 point thumping of arch-rival neighbor BG and is on a 4 game win streak with their last loss having come to the Zips. The Zips are on a 6 win streak. This one will test the Zips mettle as they were just able to squeak by the Rockets in overtime at the JAR on the 16th. The Rockets go as their All-MAC guard Marreon Jackson goes. Jackson is averaging 17 ppg, 5.5 apg and 4.2 rpg. Heading into the BG game, Toledo is 3rd in offense and second in defense in the MAC. The Zips are 6th in offense and 1st in defense. At the JAR two weeks ago, LCJ scored 34 points and had seven assists while Trimble scored 19. Jackson led Toledo with 24 points while senior guard Spencer Littleson chipped in with 21. Jackson is going to get his. I’d prefer him to try to do it from outside rather than penetrate. The Zips need to do a better job preventing Littleson from getting good looks on threes than they did at the JAR. Toledo starts a tough 4 game road stretch for the Zips with Toledo, Shalersville Tech, OU and the quickly improving Miami.

I was on the 74 for the Zips but had no idea Ball Stare would be that bad. Wynn continues to improve and contribute more and more. Maishe sure didn't build off of the EMU game.

"Build it and they will come..."

Toledo at BG at 5 on ESPN+.

Scott Walter in the game.

GT is the Michael Reghi of beat writers. Lots of words, not a lot of relevant info.

Wow, Edwards in.

I'm a little surprised by Marshall's slide. He was the first guy off of the bench in the 1st 4 or 5 games and even started a couple of games. He just got in. Wynn having another solid game off of the bench. He's going to be more important if Trimble is out and is a nice luxury with Dailey struggling.

I thought of that a couple of weeks ago. Must be a part of making things as normal as possible. I wonder if they're doing a hype video and announcing the lineups before they come on. Good to see Trimble back in.

El-Amin with 2 points in the first half. When you are supposed to be all-league you need to step up when your team in short-handed. B & G, you are right, no Currie. Also, no minutes for Jermaine Marshall. "Cox, bringing us closer." Yikes. .

Dunk that damn ball Maishe.
