Toledo is more speculative for the AAC. From my understanding, they told the MW no because their basketball would lose its home. They are AAC or bust for conference movement it seems.

I was curious about the ref that called a quick t on Scott and then on Groce.  Groce commented post game he did not believe Scott deserved the T and did not think he should have gotten one for his comment.  I never saw the ref before so I was curious and looked him up, Kevin Brill, and he usually works PAC 10 games and did the NCAA tourney games last year so not a novice ref.  However, he has made enemies in the PAC 10, especially from Utah State fans  https://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=65945

 

I think Toledo had 20 more foul shots then we did.  Not the best job by the refs tonight but we won so hopefully the whistles will go our way on Friday.

I believe we were 3-16 from 3 in the first half (ended 9-29, so 6-13 in the second half). Toledo had 31 FT attempts and made 25. We had 9 FT attempts and made 6.

 

This is a double digit win if the FT discrepancy isn't so lopsided, and that's with our pathetic first half shooting performance. Quite the win.
