UT ends 19-loss streak, beats Ball State

Written by Associated Press | | news@toledofreepress.com

Justin Anyijong scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds as Toledo snapped a school-record 19-game losing streak by beating Ball State 45-42 on Feb. 27.

The Rockets (4-26, 1-14 Mid-American Conference) led 30-15 at halftime, outshooting the Cardinals 48 percent (12-for-25) to 15.8 percent (3-for-19) in the first 20 minutes.

Toledo’s shooting turned cold in the second half, dropping to 26.3 percent (5-for-19), but Ball State didn’t improve enough, making 34.6 percent (9-for-26). The final margin was as close as the Cardinals (15-13, 8-7) got since the game’s first 8 minutes.

Ball State’s loss dropped it into a three-way tie with Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan atop the MAC North Division with one game left in the regular season.

Randy Davis had 14 points and eight rebounds and Jarrod Jones had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Ball State.

    Yeah, and the Yellow Blade, crucified Coach Bobby Nichols, for winning so many games /Championships, with a predominance of white players from Napoleon, Wauseon, Genoa, etc.
    Racism via statistics…only truly sinister brains utilize that wicked method of journalism to further their designs to effect something, they are wholly ignorant of.

    The UT program hasn’t been good since Nichols left. I covered the Rockets basketball team for the Collegian during that time Ty Coon talks about, and I heard a lot of stuff on both sides of the issue. I didn’t believe Nichols was racist then and I don’t believe it now.
