There will be a familiar sight in Savage Arena on Monday night.
No, not the Rocket men’s basketball team playing a game. Jay Lehman.
This marks the Varsity T Hall of Famer’s 25th season calling Toledo games on television or radio. The Defiance native arrived on campus in 1977, became a starter during his freshman season, and Lehman’s status never changed, dishing out a then-record 518 career assists.
That mark has since been surpassed multiple times, but Lehman remains fourth in the school’s all-time record book. His 13 assists in Toledo’s heartbreaking loss to Florida State in the 1980 NCAA tournament are the second-most in a single game and he’s eighth in career free-throw percentage.
