The closeness of the Men's Basketball team this year is documented in these tweets from Willie Jackson and Luke Knapke:

Love you brother! Proud of everything we accomplished.too bad they didn't let us finish what we started. Gonna remember all the time we've spent together for the rest of my life. You've done incredible things for the Toledo community and I can't wait to see what you do next.

Beautiful tributes.

They're the only ones tall enough to see each others' bald spots. Of course they're friends.

There should be a bidding war for Jackson's servces between Toledo and Cleveland. He going non-profit? Politics? Private Biz? Though I suppose pro ball isn't totally out of the question, guy can bound. What are Knapke's plans if ball isn't an option?

Knapke has said he'd like to manage a golf course.
