vs. Toledo (2/14)

A rivalry fit for a Valentine’s Day matchup.

Following the win over Northern Illinois, our Falcons (15-10, 6-6 MAC) return home to the Stroh Center for a pivotal matchup with the hated Toledo Rockets (13-12, 7-5 MAC). The game will begin at 5:00pm, and will stream on ESPN+.

I think we’re better than they are. We should have won up at their place a few weeks ago before a late collapse, and as long as we play our game and stay out of foul trouble here, this is a spot where we should win at home.

It’s important to get a win here, as Kent State and undefeated Miami (2 of the top 3 teams in the MAC this year) are up next on the schedule. We can’t afford to go 0-3 in that stretch.

It’s time. Go Falcons!

Hoping the students bring the heat and we hear some “just like football” chants tonight.

Team needs to come out firing after they blew the game at savage. I agree were the better team so no business losing to them twice

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate, loathe and despise any team from that glorified high school north of us?

If I haven't -- it's all true.

We were a bit too eager in transition to end the half. Goins was huge off the bench in that half

Hell of a win! Completely controlled the second half and shot lights out. Got a bit too conservative for my liking at the end but overall a really good game by us

Toledo can take that L back to their trash university

So a week ago at Arkansas State, this team didn't look like a D1 team. Then tonight shows up and handles business. On paper this should be a better season than it's been.

Depending on how Kent State goes Tuesday, I may make the trip to Oxford next Saturday.

Edit: guess it's a late game Friday at 830
