Toledo men's basketball in wait-and-see mode on Tyler Cochran

Tyler Cochran doesn’t have to go far to get advice on dealing with season-altering injuries.

His roommate is AJ Edu, who has a Ph. D. in the mental anguish that comes with suffering injuries.

“It’s something I can relate to quite well,” Edu said. “I definitely want to be a source of encouragement for him and help him out.”

Cochran, a junior transfer from Ball State and Northern Illinois, is currently out with a severe case of turf toe, which has lingered since Thanksgiving. The hard-charging 6-foot-2, 220-pound guard puts a tremendous amount of stress on his body, and despite a high pain tolerance, he has been ruled out for at least two weeks.
