An at-large NCAA bid for Toledo? It's not impossible
dbriggs@theblade.comI don’t mean to get the hopes of Toledo basketball fans up, but word is a member of the NCAA tournament selection committee will be at Savage Arena for Friday’s full-house showdown.
And he won’t be there to scout Buffalo, either.
“What’s been lost somewhat with this game is that the Rockets are 20-4 and having a heck of a season,” the anonymous committee member told us after praising Buffalo. “There’s a buzz.”
In other words, start waxing the dance floor!
OK, maybe not.
If we must blow his cover, our insider is Mike O’Brien, and the first-year committee member was speaking in his role as Toledo athletic director, not a college basketball tastemaker.
He is a little biased.
