BOWLING GREEN — In the first half, Toledo couldn’t guard Allison Day.
In the second half, the Rockets lost track of Lexi Fleming.
The defensive breakdowns — and UT’s own miscues on offense — added up to a deflating 86-76 loss to archrival Bowling Green in the first Battle of I-75 of the women’s basketball season.
Defense has been Toledo’s calling card all season, with the Rockets owning one of the best units in the country. BG took that script and tore it to shreds. The Falcons shot 50 percent and their 86 points were the most UT has surrendered all season.
