Disagree. Toledo lives and dies by the three. We could easily lose 3 in a row on a bad shooting streak. Coaching in close games is also extremely suspect. I doubt we'll have an answer for JT4 or Persons this season.

I agree to a point in that Toledo hasn't beaten a real good team yet this season and seem to struggle to finish games against them. It is entirely possible that this Toledo hot streak won't last and I'm not picking Toledo to win the MAC tourney. However, Toledo looks like the 2nd most consistently decent team in the league. EMU has talent and defense, but their offensive coaching and consistency is very suspect. Ball St has that go to guy in Persons and enough role players to surround him, but I think they are step down if you compare their 2nd 3rd 4th options to Toledo. At times they play real good defense and had a stretch of games when they looked real good, but have been inconsistent lately. Basically, there's 5 or 6 teams that could win this league and so far Buffalo has shown they are capable and Toledo has been nearly as good and every one else still has some work to do. In a couple weeks this debate may be very different.
