DeKALB, Ill. – Four Rockets scored at least 15 points to propel the Toledo men's basketball team to its first Mid-American Conference road victory on Saturday afternoon with an 84-67 win over Northern Illinois (5-12, 1-3 MAC). UT's win was its fourth-straight over the Huskies as well as it fifth in last six trips to DeKalb.
"This was a very good road win for us heading into Tuesday's game against a talented Ohio team," Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk said. "We guarded from start to finish, played with energy and talked on defense. Northern Illinois' guards are such good scorers and a big key for us was holding David Coit to six points and 2-of-13 shooting.
