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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Dawson played a big role in breaking up their flow last year in the tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy5 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
