For a brief moment toward the end of 2016-17, Joe Toye looked like he was about to break out. Then a sophomore, Toye ended the season on a tear, averaging 9.3 ppg over the final six games of the season while shooting 48 percent from three-point range. Obviously, the latter number was not sustainable, but Toye seemed likely to assume an expanded role for the Commodores in 2017-18.
And then Toye started his junior season in a funk. Through the first ten games of the season, Toye was averaging 6.0 ppg, but that wasn’t even the entire story.
