Will the zips attempt to power back or will they be stepped on once again by Toledo. This sax guy is fire at least! Yeah not our night but the sax guy was good. Quote

I respectfully disagree with respect to the Zips defense against their offense. Their starting lineup is essentially four guards and a stretch three (Shumate) All too often that results in bad switches, poor closeouts and open shooters. Sammy and Enrique cannot cover their players on the perimeter. I hoped Nate had better quickness to made up for Sammy's lack of quickness but I am not seeing it. I do agree that some shooting would go a long way. Edited February 22, 2023 by clarkwgriswold Quote

Yeah Dawson played a big role in breaking up their flow last year in the tournament. 1 Quote

1981 grad Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Hunter gets an offensive rebound under the basket. Instead of taking it up strong he dribbles away from the basket and loses the ball. That is just bad basketball. Take the ball up strong!!!! 1 Quote
kreed5120 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Toledo both games have made both X and Freeman work for their points. They're daring anyone else to beat them. 1 Quote

Give him a seat next to Evan. Let's get through this one with no injuries or further embarrassment. Quote
RooFan Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Sammy fouls a 90% free throw shooter for three at the stripe. Quote

I do agree that some shooting would go a long way. I see your point in the second half. No way I thought we could stop Toledo. However, if we shot the ball decently like we did on Saturday I thought we could be in this game. We are 0 for 12 from the 3 line with most of those being open looks. If we hit 40% of those shots we would be in this game. Quote
zippy5 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 I've never seen a shooting performance like this. 6/14 makes this a game. They've had open looks Quote
RooFan Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Let Greg go to the rim... all night... if they win at least make them feel it... play strong... make them feel our power... Quote
zippy5 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Honestly this is probably the second worst game I've seen an Akron team play. NCAAT game against VCU being the worst 2 Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Even the Toledo crowd is clowning the JAR fan base tonight. Great to see MAC fans that show up for a game aside from their rivalry game. Kudos to them. Quote

It bears to reason that if theire smalls can take advantage of our bigs in their offense that our bigs should be able to take advantage of their smalls when the Zips are on offense. Frustrating.
