SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The University of Toledo men’s basketball team isn’t taking anything to chance this season.
The two-time defending outright Mid-American Conference champions have four returning starters and will do some winter barnstorming in hopes of strengthening their at-large resume for the NCAA tournament and taking the decision out of the selection committee’s hand.
“It’s the best schedule since I’ve been at Toledo,” UT coach Tod Kowalczyk said.
And that’s with one game still to be determined.
Some familiar names remain on the docket, as the Rockets open the season in Savage Arena against Valparaiso, host Oakland on Nov.
