In 2021, the University of Toledo had never won the Reese Trophy in the award’s then-64-year history.
Two years later, UT was the back-to-back Reese Trophy winner, which is awarded annually to the Mid-American Conference’s best all-around men’s athletic program.
Will it be a three-peat in 2024? The Rockets got off to a good start this week as the men’s basketball team opened 2-0 in the conference, with wins over Ohio and Miami.
Looking back at 2023, though, it was the women’s basketball team that drafted the biggest headline by upsetting Iowa State in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
