Briggs: Toledo women's basketball team should leave Rockets fans proud, excited for future

CLEVELAND — This was supposed to be the year the Toledo women’s basketball team learned how the other half lives.

Every one of its top eight scorers with eligibility remaining — including hometown star Sammi Mikonowicz — did not just stay.
