Central Michigan Chippewas
The Central Michigan Chippewas come into Saturday with a 8-14 overall record and a 3-6 record in the MAC. They are ahead of only Miami (OH), Western Michigan, and Eastern Michigan in the conference standings. But an upset win over Toledo could turn their season around and help them gain some confidence with conference tournament time fast approaching.
For the Chippewas, the question for this game will be whether they can do enough offensively to hang with the Rockets. Toledo is one of the best offensive teams in the country. Instead of the pressure being on the Central Michigan defense in this game, it may well be on their offense to do enough scoring to keep this contest competitive throughout.
Toledo Rockets
The Toledo Rockets have won six straight games coming into Saturday night’s home game against Central Michigan. The Rockets most recently survived a tight game against Miami (OH) on the road. Now they are back at home and will look to enjoy a much less stressful contest against a struggling Chippewas squad.
For Toledo, offense has become something of a given given the way that they play. But their defense will be the key to this matchup instead. If they can prevent Central Michigan from getting easy baskets to hang around in this game, the Rockets could cruise to a win that would move them to 8-2 in MAC competition this season.
