A word of advice to all the men’s basketball coaches who have Toledo on the schedule: get an insurmountable lead before the final media timeout of the second half.
Otherwise, the win-loss column will probably take a hit.
The Rockets (6-1) are one of the best teams in the country during the final four minutes of the first half and the final four minutes of the second half, a period coaches refer to as winning time.
UT has outscored opponents 136-78 at the end of both halves, limiting teams to 37.3 percent shooting (28-of-75) and six of 32 from 3-point range while forcing 19 turnovers.
