Big one up north on Saturday afternoon at 2:00pm. Game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
I'm really excited to see Lexi Fleming's introduction to the rivalry.
UT is 7-3 on the season and 3-3 in MAC play, and they're generally one of the best programs in the MAC in women's basketball, so this is a test for us. I'm hoping we're ready - there's nothing better than beating Toledo, especially at their place.
Go Falcons!

I have to miss this one due to a prior commitment, so anyone who watches, let us know how they look. I think this team is still a year away from truly vying for the MAC crown, but the improvement is pretty staggering.

Been starting three freshmen last several games. Can lead to some inconsistencies, especially on the boards. But overall a POSITIVE improvement from a young team.

Some good pressure on the rockets with those turnovers. Parker and Fleming lead with 8 points at the half.

Fleming also had 4 steals and she's taken 3 charges. Unreal player.

69-51 BG with 2:15 to go. Fleming is a fantastic all around player.

Under 2 minutes and the Falcons are up about 18. Hopefully, this holds and we see an end to the losing streak -- and the "ship" is now righted for the foreseeable future.

Great to get a win over the bottle rockets. Not the best shooting performance, but stellar defense shuts down the opposition. Fleming with 5 steals and 21 pts.

Forgot that it had been that long since the last win. Basically the last time we were good with Rodgers.

It is always good to get a win over them!!
However, why the hell were we trying to look like Princeton or multiple high schools all over the country? Black is not one of our colors.
