Game 22- Toledo

[akzipper]

Crowd looks and sounds great on TV. Happy to see this team finally get the attention it deserves and hopefully this can happen more consistently.

 

I do really miss seeing the seats behind the hoops. I know there weren't many rows and they were underutilized, but it seems so empty around the court now.

Dawson came to play tonight.

Classic MAC refs tonight.

The call went our way so I'll take it, but I feel like that was a really weak flagrant.

[MDZip]

Loved seeing Sammy cut to the rim. Don't love the announcers having an M&M contest betting on which Toledo player has a better game. WTF?

Nice crowd. Free parking?

I wish Ali would stop getting T's for celebrating, but I also feel those are incredibly weak.

[clarkwgriswold]

The M AC refs apparently got a memo to not allow any sign of excitement without calling a technical.

5 points for Ali and gave 4 right back.

I hate the call, but at some point you have to start reading the refs.

The lack of consistency is annoying.  Opposing teams have done that at the JAR and have not be whistled.

[ClevelandZip]

These MAC refs are garbage. Is the A10 looking to expand? We would just need to find a new home for the football team. (Mostly joking)

In fact, Dawson just did the same thing and no call.

[zipsrule]

Did they bus these announcers in from Toledo?

[Franch1se]

Just don't do it right at the bench Ali. The Kent one was really lame but this one felt legit to me. 

[Westie]

Ali … we don’t need the quick jack from 3

[zipsrule]

Ali!

[LZIp]

Whole team came to play. Love to see it.

[clarkwgriswold]

Best offensive half of the year.

[zipsrule]

Great first half.  Keep it up!

[MDZip]

If Ali is going to play like this, he can have one tech a game. 😂

💯 (out of likes)

All of those post up skills Ali learned 2 years ago came in handy with Freeman on the bench. Very effective in the paint. 

[Westie]

64% from the field in the first half. Keep taking it inside!!!

[Illini Zip]

Also, watching from home it didn’t look like Ali said anything on that technical. He was doing the zipper motion across his mouth. Does that merit a technical? I agree with Groce, just be consistent.
