Toledo Rockets
The Toledo Rockets enter Friday night’s MACtion with a 12-6 overall record and a 3-2 record in MAC play. They come into this matchup off of a 90-75 win over the Ohio Bobcats at home, their second win in a row. Here, they will hope to pick up a third straight win in conference play to remain in the top-four in the league standings going into the weekend.
For Toledo, defense is always their biggest question mark. That will be especially true in a game against a Buffalo team that ranks fifth in adjusted tempo per Kenpom. Toledo will need to avoid letting that pace tie them into knots defensively.
Buffalo Bulls
The Buffalo Bulls also enter this contest coming off of a win in their last outing. They put up 100 points in a blowout win over Bowling Green, improving to 3-2 in league play themselves. In this game, another 100 point performance might not be enough to outscore the potent offense of Toledo.
Buffalo will need another big game out of Zid Powell if they want to beat Toledo at home here. Powell is coming off of a 27-point performance against Bowling Green, and his performance in this game could determine its outcome one way or another. He has averaged 21 points per game over his last three.
