CMU vs. Toledo in McGurik, on Saturday, Fed 20.
After its 73-67 comeback victory at Northern Illinois on Feb. 13, Head Coach Sue Guevara said “A cat only has nine lives and we’ve used about five of them.”
Instead of picking up their ninth consecutive victory Saturday against Toledo, the Chippewas (17-8, 11-3 Mid-American Conference) used up their ninth life, falling to Toledo in overtime 81-79 at McGuirk Arena.
“Nine lives,” Guevara said after Saturday’s game. “Damn, you know, I got two cats. I thought we were about to have 18 (lives).”
The Chippewas had three turnovers in the first four minutes of play and trailed the entire first half, in which the Rockets shot 56 percent from the floor.
