After losses versus Eastern Michigan along with the top-seeded team in the MAC East in the Buffalo Bulls, the Toledo Rockets were able to pick up a victory over Northern Illinois in their last time out. They continue to be pursued by the Chippewas of Central Michigan, however, as their offense continues to sputter, at times.
The Toledo Rockets have dropped two straight games after coming up short versus the Central Michigan Chippewas. And while the Cardinals were able to go up by 11 at the break in the contest, they were outscored heavily in the second stanza while halting a two-game winning streak in the meantime.
Toledo Rockets
Toledo is currently two games ahead of the Chippewas in the MAC West division. Their victory versus the Huskies was very much needed as they came into the matchup on a two-game skid, as stated.
And while their offense only poured in 57 points for the game, they allowed Northern Illinois just 54 points on 36% shooting for the game. The Rockets ended at 38% for the contest as each team connected on 8 three-pointers for the outing.
