Toledo is the hottest team in the league. They have won eight in a row and shoot real well. They are going to be a big challenge. We are going to need a very focused effort.

We definitely showed a lot of character and resiliency to come back. But Toledo's pressure defense put us in a big hole in the first half. We had 14 turnovers in the first half and we finished the game with 16. That's why we fell so far behind and that's why we were able to come back.

We definitely showed a lot of character and heart to come back the way we did. In the first half we dug a very deep hole with Toledo's pressure defense and 14 turnovers.
