Games on back-to-back nights turned out to be no problem for the University of Toledo men’s basketball team.
Following a physically taxing and emotional win at Oakland Friday night, the Rockets returned home on Saturday night for their Savage Arena season opener and had little trouble in a 99-58 win over NAIA foe Wilberforce.
“We played hard on [Friday] night in a very emotional game and we played hard again tonight,” UT coach Tod Kowalczyk said. “The team was excited about it on [Friday] night. It was a phenomenal college basketball game. It was as good of a mid-major environment as you will see.
