BOWLING GREEN — Beating your rival carries extra meaning.
It’s why Toledo coach Tod Kowalczyk gave a fist pump as time expired during Saturday’s 91-78 men’s basketball victory at Bowling Green.
It’s why Setric Millner, Jr., unleashed a primal scream after a tomahawk dunk.
And it’s why J.T. Shumate said, sarcastically, “There’s too much orange in here,” in the Stroh Center’s media room.
Even Toledo football coach Jason Candle got in on the action, standing and cheering from his seat behind Toledo’s bench.
For the second consecutive season, the triumphant Rockets left Wood County in their rearview mirror.
