I agree. He has made a couple nice plays, but overall a net negative. Strange lack of effort on a lot of possessions. 

 

It's not strange if you've watched Nate over the years. He's too talented for his own good at times. Mentally checks out.

My dogs are looking at me like i am losing my mind (because I am).

That's not a block.  NOT EVEN CLOSE.

[clarkwgriswold]

Shammah has the ball stolen by Simmons.  Unbelievable.

This officiating blows.  The foul on Tavari was a clean block.

[tolbob]

Blocking foul on Lyles ridiculous.  Don't they ever call charges??

Nate making HUGE free throws in this one

He ended strong, but it is frustrating watching him at times. He really is so good when he wants to be.

1-0!

That might've been the quickest handshake I've ever seen Groce give another coach. He must not like Kowalchoke.

Despite the second half, good win!

[MDZip]

As sphincter tightening a win as I can remember.  Gave up 63 second half points! Groce not gonna be happy.

I hate to say it, big let down spot here. I'm taking Toledo money line and would be thrilled to lose a little cash and see a Zips win

 

Next time you want to light your money on fire, just send it to me. Haha

I LOVE AKRON ZIPS BASKETBALL

Won the 3 points shooting but lost the turnovers  18-11. that has to change.

First win at Toledo since my senior year of college. We’ll take it. Also both Hardman and Groce only mentioned Evan, Isaiah, and Seth as the seniors on the postgame show. Means we get Okonkwo and Scott back..pretty sweet.

On WHLO postgame Groce said for Senior Night we'll be honoring Evan, Seth, and Isaiah.  Did not mention either Okonkwo or Jojo. 🤞🤞

Yeah, we get Scott back?!  Maybe Groce just failed to mention him?  I didn't know Scott was even a possibility

Hope all three get a start. And pretty much the full team back next year? That would be unbelievable.

Shammah went JUCO so now he gets that time back.

And we’re brining in a talented freshman class and have talented freshman redshirting this year as it is. And seems to have good booster support. Groce is close to building a dynasty IMO
