In a Saturday matinee game against the University of Pennsylvania at Savage Arena, University of Toledo coach Tod Kowalczyk said looking across to the opposing bench was a little bit like staring down his own program in the mirror.
Penn, a team with marquee wins this season over defending champion Villanova and Miami (Fla.), was riding a six-game win streak, while Toledo was looking for its 10th straight victory.
Both teams have built a mid-major resume in non-conference play that they feel is worthy of consideration for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
With one last test before the beginning of its Mid-American Conference slate, Toledo ran away from Penn in an impressive 77-45 win.
