CLEVELAND — The University of Toledo men’s basketball team continued its annual tradition.
Not another Mid-American Conference championship.
Saving their worst for last.
The Rockets authored another chapter of heartbreak in their book of March nightmares, a volume that’s grown thicker than Gone With the Wind.
For the fourth consecutive season, UT won the MAC regular-season title but will leave the conference tournament empty-handed. And this year’s exit was worst of all, a 67-59 loss to eighth-seeded Kent State, the first time a one-seed has lost in the quarterfinals of the MAC tournament since 2010.
