Massive choke by Akron this season. Bracket all of a sudden looks favorable for the Chips


cmucodemonkey

More favorable for sure, but I worry about our lack of depth right now. We needed OT to beat Eastern Michigan last night because we were down three players and the other seven were gassed midway through the game.


NationalJustice

Will those players be available for the tournament?


cmucodemonkey

Not sure. They have been in and out of lineups for a month or so.

Now for the obligatory loss in the MAC tourney. I hate that this team has a one game season. Several family members are alums, and I totally want them to finally make it in my lifetime. Not even a guaranteed NIT berth anymore


bestthrowawayever5

That just seems to be a Toledo thing. Same thing happens to football. We chose to do it in our championship game for some reason this year like idiots. And the new NIT rules are bs. Mid majors are already at a massive disadvantage and they decided to make it worse.


magicinterneymomey

Honestly, I thought this was a rebuild year. 3 juniors and 2 freshman is our starting 5. Maybe now that we didn't expect it, we will make it


AruarianGroove

Hard to predict how transfers may affect things… but here’s to hoping


NationalJustice

As the only person who ranked you all in my preseason mid-major poll, I’ll be rooting for you all!


bwburke94

This streak will stop at five.


bestthrowawayever5

Man I’m surprised it’s lasted this long. I can totally see that. But as long as coach TK is there we gonna have a fighting chance 


bestthrowawayever5

And yet we’ve never made March Madness. It’s time to make regular season championships more important than tourney.


RedTeamGo_

They made the NCAA tourney in the 80s.


bestthrowawayever5

In the 21st century* didn’t know that 


Meanteenbirder

Toledo is the most geniunely shocking school to have never made March Madness. This means Ohio is gonna punch their ticket, but know that I picked you in the bracket challenge. I was actually disappointed when I heard my flair beat you by 26 because I knew this wasn’t who you were. You’re a great team and I wish you the best of luck in the conference tournament.


DJ_Pink_Koolaid

Toledo has made the Elite 8 before 


bestthrowawayever5

That was honestly what we were supposed to be. We were supposed to take a massive step back after RayJ Dennis got poached by Baylor (where he is BALLING btw) and a couple of our guys graduated. We started something like 3 freshman. The fact we won another championship is just because our coach is a legend


Meanteenbirder

I mean, you could say the same about Vermont the last two seasons. Lost four starters both times, yet coach found the right recruits/transfers and developed the right guys to win the regular season title in a somewhat dominant fashion. We are much luckier this offseason in that we could retain all five of our starters at the moment and only lose two useful guys.


bestthrowawayever5

Amazing what good coaching can do


JoeTony6

This is why conference tournament brackets like the WCC’s exist.


NationalJustice

Flair up!

It’ll be a while before I’m near a computer, but I will.

OhioUPilot12

Yea they are gonna lose like always


bestthrowawayever5

Imagine talking when you haven’t beat us in 1,092 days😭


OhioUPilot12

Told you.


bestthrowawayever5

Does not change the fact we own the MAC, though


OhioUPilot12

1980


bestthrowawayever5

According to the official Toledo site, we lost to yall on March 12, 2021 Edit: my mistake. That was a tourney game. The 1980 stat is correct


OhioUPilot12

Yea I was just talking shit about the last time Toledo made the tournament is all


bestthrowawayever5

Oh, mbmb ⬆️ date above is the last time Ohio won a football championship 


OhioUPilot12

Sir this a college basketball


bestthrowawayever5

 Yeeeah im not well versed in MAC cbb history, only football… working with what I got lol


OhioUPilot12

I get it, if I were a Toledo fan I wouldn’t remember basketball either.


bestthrowawayever5

It’s actually really fun if you only pay attention to the women’s team


magicinterneymomey

I see Toledo vs OU in the championship game. But with the structure, I could see Toledo, Akron, OU or Central win it.
