On Wednesday, the University of Toledo women’s basketball team begins a season with expectations that the sequel will exceed the original.
It’s just going to be a while until the hometown fans get an up-close look.
The Rockets open with consecutive road games at James Madison and Gonzaga (Nov. 12) before making their Savage Arena debut against Cincinnati on Nov. 19. Put frankly, Toledo is jumping into the deep end.
“We’re going to be tested right from the get-go,” UT coach Tricia Cullop said. “Two incredible programs.”
James Madison has a rich women’s basketball history, with 13 NCAA tournament appearances, including four Sweet 16s.
