ESTERO, Fla. — Before Monday’s game against Missouri-Kansas City, Toledo coach Tod Kowalczyk and senior forward Setric Millner, Jr., said they wanted to see the Rockets play 40 minutes of all-out hustle defense.
They’ll have to wait another day because it didn’t happen against UMKC, which shot 54 percent in an 83-71 upset over UT in the first round of the Gulf Coast Showcase.
In the second half, the Roos were 14 of 24 from the field, and 6-foot-5 guard RayQuawndis Mitchell finished with 35 points.
“We have to guard the ball better and stay in front of the dribble better,” Kowalczyk said.
