ToledoRockets Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 You lost to a superior team and a superior school!Have fun on Spring Break at home! Losers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrewTheRoo Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 it doesn't even matter. You guys are going to get whooped by can't anyway. Therefore, you'll be in the same position as everyone in the MAC except Can't, and that means no post season tourney. With the new regulations for the NIT, I wouldn't be suprised if only 1 team at the most from the MAC got in. Sadly, they'll take an 11-19 team from the big ten, big east, etc. before they'll take a 20+ win Akron team, a 19 win Ohio team. or an 18 win Miami team. I do have to say that the atmosphere for the games tonight was amazing. That had to be the highest attendance for the MAC semifinals in history.

RooWho? Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Indeed...the rich get richer while us "lower" schools get screwed...the whole tournament selection is bogus...best of luck to you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljc Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 WOW, I was there and I saw it, but I still can't believe it. If you can't score then you can't win, though. Nobody to blame tonight. The Zips just didn't put the ball in the hole in the last 10 minutes. Good luck to Toledo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipfan 81 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I'm sorry but why is Darryl Peterson sitting on the bench (again) in the last few minutes? He is the only guy tonite who stepped it up! Scored the first 7 points and then is taken out, I just don't get it.... I am still in shock also, can't believe we lost this!

Chrisj0384 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 What a disgrace. That was the most pathetic thing I have ever witnessed. How do you give up like that? There was no excuse, we were the BETTER TEAM, it was obvious in the first half, and most of the 2nd half. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msopher Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Toledo wanted it a tad more at the end.Still, congrats on a fine season and best of luck in the NIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisj0384 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I'm just in shock right now seriously. I bought a ticket for tomorrows game, was happy to see Can't win, and now what?? This is such B.S. Dambrot is going to come out tomorrow and probably say the better team won, they outplayed us, whatever. Akron just completely blew it, you cant expect to win a game without scoring points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fear the brown roo Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 i know how we lost it. missed free throws, turnovers, bad decissions, lack of defense. it was just an awful ending to what could've been a nice year. to lose by one or two after playing hard and smart is one thing, but to piss away a win like this just makes me want to i still love my zips but this one is as bad as the MCB was good in football. i can't say i even care about the NIT after losing in this fashion. go toledo, you deserved the win.

basketballman31 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 You lost because of bad coaching.(Peterson on the bench).Terrible guard play. Defensively dials and joyce couldnt keep anyone in front of them. Poor free throw shooting. No one could put it in the whole either. And just like every time the games close Dru Joyce decides to play the hero. Good season, a tough way to lose, but Keith before you want to be in the same sentence as Gonzaga, beat someone away from the JAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good season, a tough way to lose, but Keith before you want to be in the same sentence as Gonzaga, beat someone away from the JARI think we lost because the wrong people were on the floor at the wrong time...or...two players forgot to step up.You can blame it on those players or you can blame it on the coach for letting those two players on the floor.Dru 34 minutes 8 pointsDials 28 minutes 2 points (1 for SIX)Peterson 20 minutes 13 pointsCed 22 minutes 12 pointsPeterson and Ced were doing everything they could at both ends of the floor.I know two players that were not. I wish I could give you a defensive stat.Like I said, you can blame it on the players, or you can blame it on the staff for having those players in.Nice season, but I still feel like I have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Dials 28 minutes 2 points (1 for SIX) These are Brian Hip. numbers. Players that make us hold our breath in worry should be coming off the bench spelling players that don't make us hold our breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzipguy Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Good posts eveyone. How about the fact of Toledo outrebounding us 33-25!!!! How about12 offensive rebounds for the Rockets!!!!. Akron picked the worst game of the year to play a rotten last 9 minustes!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msopher Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Toledo wanted it a tad more at the end.Still, congrats on a fine season and best of luck in the NIT.how can i argue that? i think Can't will roll but i'm pulling for toledo, even with that stupid looking mascot. The cool mascot was there last night. The big dildo was left back in Toledo (thank god)Observations:-Peterson killed Toledo in the first half, but rarely saw action in the end. Doghouse or not, that was plain stupid.-Preston had some bad looks last night, especially in the 2nd half.- Dials was non existent last night-Travis, Middleton, and Joyce played well.-Akron had good crowd support and Toledo's SUCKED until the last 5 min of the game. Granted our students are on Spring Break, but for our fans to sit on their hands for 30 min of basketball when they could have been on their feet is a tad embarassing. -Akron will get an NIT bid and possibly a home game.-If Toledo loses tonight, they will get a NIT game, but probably away.-Can't students chanting "F-Ohio" was a bit immature and uncalled for. I felt bad for the kids and parents sitting nearby.-Akron has some hot girls there last night. Toledo had one, but she is the campus bicycle from what I hear.

mivid12 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 THAT was a GD embarassment. I'm still pissed and it's saturday afternoon. ZERO chance of this team gettin an NCAA birth and ESPN Radio is talking about 2-3 teams from the Colonial league getting in. NIT...who cares. They showed more panic than I've ever seen a team display in quite sometime. Again-embarassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
