Kent State vs. Toledo - 2023 MAC Tournament Final
The top two TEAMS in the con-fer-ence will play Saturday night in Cleveland. The Kent State Golden Flashes vs. The University of Toledo Rockets.

A big game, to be sure!

I watched Toledo tonight and while they could certainly beat us, I just don't see it. Someone please tell VCD to quit shooting.

Not only is the game between the top two teams in the conference, but it's the conference's best offense versus the conference's best defense.

Could not agree more. It was no surprise why UA left VCD open beyond the three-point line. VCD has to play smarter than this. VCD was a liability on offense tonight.

As for MJ... please keep your mouth shut. Let your playing do the talking.

Looking forward to a win tomorrow.

RE: Kent State vs. Toledo - 2023 MAC Tournament Final
Personally have always felt we matchup better with UT than Akron. They're a guard oriented team and our guard defenders are exceptional. When we played them earlier in the year Jacobs hounded Shumate into one of his worst games of the year. Need that again. Not having Gio will hurt though as he is a better defender than Sully right now. Rollins will likely need to contribute some.

Teams with a strong big like Freeman are what's always worried me. UT is very good though. I really think it's a shame that the loser will have no chance at the NCAA tournament. I feel confident in saying the loser would beat some of the teams that get at large bids.

Gotta love M Thomas quote after last nights game when asked what beating Akron meant…”nothing right now…I wanna win a ring.” He’s exactly right.

Carry given props to his hometown too. Nice.

Winning attitudes men!

Watching the Buckeyes and Purdue…just heard Sendy’s talk with VCD about shot selection for tonight’s game…”son, if you not in the paint, don’t shoot!” 05-nono

RE: Kent State vs. Toledo - 2023 MAC Tournament Final
One of the best parts about having Rob Senderoff as the head coach with Jim Christian, Randal Holt, Julian Sullinger and Jon Fleming on his staff is that these men understand how special this weekend is….better than any of us I’m sure.

We all have our memories of the MAC Tournament, some dating farther back than others. For me, they are memories with my dad. I would give an arm to have black and tan with him at Flannerys before walking over to the Q and talking a little trash to the zips and bobcats of the world.

Ahhh memory lane. As for the 2022/2023 Flashes….wow. 27 victories including two over Akron. 27 wins. That’s incredible, really.

The seniors on this team deserve a tip of the hat. Especially for staying together for this season. There has to be a reason for that. I hope the underclass men follow suit. They’re a pleasure to watch and to pull for.

Kent State 80
Sons of Toledo 78
And all is right with the world!

I am BEYOND over Bill Ek. I wouldn’t trust him with a job at Hartville Hardware, much less the MAC Championship.

Jacobs crying for the “and 1” at the buzzer but he’s lucky we even got the ball there, so he should’ve just run into the locker room.

Clear foul there should been AND 1 to close the half.

Had an 11 point lead and couldn't hold it. Seems that happens all the time.

Now need to make another big run to start 2nd half please.

Kent can NOT afford another big-game clunker from Carry.

They’ve completely changed the way they’re calling fouls. Let ‘em play in the first half, foul if you breathe on ‘em in the second half.

All of a sudden can't get any stops. Up 4 they get a lucky tip in then the over and back turnover.

It really sucks the entire season comes down to 1 game for both teams. Both teams are good enough to be in the Big Dance.

So a ref 20 feet away can make that backcourt call? The ref positioned on the half court line wasn’t making it, he was far away but could at least see the player and the line, the ref making that call had no vision of the line.
