TROY, Ala. — The University of Toledo men’s basketball program started the 2024-2025 season the same way it ended the 2023-2024 season.
With a loss.
After failing to find a groove behind the 3-point line and allowing Troy to shoot 52.2 percent from the field, the Rockets fell to the Trojans 84-74 in the season opener.
UT finished the game with a 3-point percentage of just 17.6 (3 of 17) and went 0 for 6 in final 20 minutes.
The Rockets led briefly by five in the middle of the first half, but the Trojans controlled the tempo for a majority of the game.
