Game 21- Toledo

Before 😁.

4th foul on Craig.

Reghi definitely in mid-season form. First Akron plays great defense and he says its Toledo, then calls Tavari "mercurial" - subject to sudden or unpredictable changes of mood or mind. Yeah you nailed it.

Lyles has had a lot of trouble holding the ball under the rim tonight. At least four turnovers that I can remember.

I don’t see how that was a foul on Amani

These thumbs in stripes are just pathetic. Who knew so many zebras could go bald; they didn't show that in Madagascar.

Toledo's active hands have made him uncomfortable.

Eric is big time

[csims0917]

Huge shot by Eric! Best game he’s had since coming off the bench

[Reslife4Life]

These 5 and halligan have been dynamite

Time for Eric to bust out.

He's really playing well. Hoping you mentioning him is like Beetlejuice.

Very unimpressed by him. Couple nice hustle plays today at least 

Sharron has struggled offensively at times. He doesn’t look quite ready to run this team next year, but growth isn’t always linear. Not worried about him yet. Defensively he’s always locked in.

I'll try to keep it up.  I've been waiting!

Big brother wasn't going to be outdone.

Evan is playing with absolute joy. 

[Reslife4Life]

Great way to break that full court press

I remember Akron teams that would struggle so much with the press. This team is too athletic for the press to work.

As others have said, this is a trap game against an opponent we do not usually fare well against. Still, we are at home against a MAC opponent with inferior talent into the mature part of our schedule.

 

Zips win, 90-80, pulling away at the end.

Bingo!

Even with bad defense, there is no way Toledo stays this hot for the entire second half. When they cool off (and maybe when we start playing good defense), they will panic and get desperate.

Pretty much!

These fouls kinda make me wonder if one of these Toledo guys is in on Akron -10.5

[LZIp]

Way to close it out. On to Kent!

[Let'sGoZips94]

The most impressive win of the season by far. Withstood super hot shooting by Toledo amd are going to win by double digits.

Wow gave up 49 in the first half and held them to 32 in the second.

And I believe only 2 threes in the second half

And the Mahaffey brothers combined - 24 points, 17 rebounds, 4-5 from three, 4 assists, 2 steals and one turnover.
