No excuses for another hollow Rockets ending
CLEVELAND — The good news: Toledo got to cut down the nets this season.
The bad: No one will ever remember why.
Another year, another Forest City ending more hollow than a rotting tree.
The Rockets’ never-ending March nightmare added one of its most macabre chapters yet Thursday night in an 80-76 loss to Northern Illinois in the quarterfinals of the MAC tournament.
Six days after the Rockets cut down their home nets for winning the MAC West championship — Buffalo won the league title by three games — we were reminded why they made it such a big celebration.
The regular season is all Toledo ever has.
