Toledo preps for Richmond, dines on Texas BBQ
ROANOKE, Texas — A trip to the Lone Star State isn’t complete until barbecue is consumed.
The Toledo men’s basketball team checked that item off of its list Tuesday afternoon with a stop at Hard Eight BBQ in historic downtown Roanoke, a quaint, folksy district in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Ribs, brisket, ribeyes, sirloins, corn on the cob, and Texas-sized baked potatoes — enough food to put an elephant to sleep — were had by all.
“Just being outside is a breath of fresh air for everyone,” senior point guard Marreon Jackson said.
