Briggs: Loss to Michigan highlights Toledo's fatal March flaw, or does it?

ANN ARBOR — There is no fatal March flaw, no unconquerable limitation.

As another high-flying Toledo men’s basketball season completed its aching return to Earth Tuesday night with a 90-80 loss to Michigan in the first round of the NIT, that’s worth remembering.

No, the Rockets are not content with a third straight outright Mid-American Conference championship giving way to heartbreak in Cleveland, then no cold comfort in the NIT.

This is the third straight year they’ll end a remarkable season with two straight defeats.

And, because of that, it will only be natural to suggest the program needs to take a hard look in the mirror.
