They are a good shooting team.  I think their weakness is their defense.  Zips have had a lot of open looks down low.

That Toledo missed free throw with a 3 was a killer. Rollins is a terrific player. Now I know how other teams felt when LCJ had the ball in his hands. 

[LZIp]

And Trimble misses both FTs.

[NWAkron]

I thought this would go the route of the Ohio game.  Late run but can't close the deal.

[clarkwgriswold]

Well, they showed a ton of heart fighting their way back into the game.

Agreed.  They are just not quite on Toledo's level.

[Blue & Gold]

Oh well. Our push at the end will give us confidence, and a blueprint, if we see them again in Cleveland.

[NWAkron]

Those missed FTs kept Zips above the spread.  

[GoZips86]

Ugh! I got real excited when they cut it close. Tough loss. Team fights and I love that. 

[1981 grad]

I don't have the stats but we missed a ton of foul shots.  I think the Zips played well enough to win against most teams in the MAC but Toledo is the top team and we just did not play well enough.  Although I was critical of the refs, they did give Freeman some leeway after his 4th foul and did not foul him out.  The key would have been Clark making that 3.  He played well defensively but just is a step slow on offense.  On that 2 on one fast break he needs to finish at the basket instead of going for the Alley Oop and slam to Freeman.  Glad the team showed heart.
