HUNTINGTON, W. Va. – Senior Marreon Jackson exploded for 14 points in overtime to lead Toledo to a 96-87 overtime victory on Wednesday evening over previously unbeaten Marshall. The victory over the Thundering Herd (4-1) improved the Rockets' record to 5-3 and was their fourth straight win in the series between the two schools.
Toledo held an 80-70 lead with four minutes remaining in regulation but the hosts ended the game with a 10-0 run. Jackson then hit two three-pointers to open the extra session to propel the Rockets to the nine-point victory.
"This was a big win against a team that has been playing really well," said Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk.
