There was liftoff of Toledo’s offense on Saturday.
Last month, the Rockets needed a miracle comeback to force overtime (and eventually win) at Eastern Michigan. No heroics were needed this time.
UT scored 25 points in the first quarter and another 23 in the second, building a 24-point first-half lead en route to an 84-64 drubbing of the Eagles at Savage Arena.
“I was really proud of how locked in we were,” Toledo coach Tricia Cullop said. “I knew we had to be. Anybody in the league, if you’re not locked in, it’s going to be an interesting game, and we didn’t want it to be.
