One of the first questions Tricia Cullop was asked after being hired as Toledo’s head women’s basketball coach in April, 2008 was, when are you going to beat Bowling Green?
The Rockets were in the midst of a 12-game losing streak to their neighbors to the south. BGSU advanced to the NCAA tournament five times in seven years, including a berth in the Sweet 16. In Cullop’s first season, UT lost by a combined 30 points in two games against the Falcons.
But once she broke through with a victory in Year 2, Toledo hasn’t looked back, dominating the Battle of I-75 with a 14-4 record over the past 13 seasons.
