TOLEDO, Ohio - It’s not always how much, but when.
DaRohn Scott’s final stat line was anything but impressive, but his contribution down the stretch loomed large Saturday as Central Michigan gutted out a 76-74 Mid-American Conference men’s basketball victory over Toledo at the Rockets’ Savage Arena.
The win lifted CMU to 16-13, 9-7 MAC and it kept the Chippewas one game behind Ball State in the MAC West. It was CMU’s fifth straight win over Toledo, 17-12, 8-8.
Scott, a 6-foot-9 junior, finished with four points, three rebounds and three blocks in 16 minutes.
His first bucket, a dunk with under four minutes to play, put CMU ahead for good.
