MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – Toledo dropped an 81-79 decision at Central Michigan on Tuesday night when the Chippewas' Meikkel Murray scored on a put-back with 3.0 seconds remaining. Even with the defeat, the Rockets (19-7, 14-4 MAC) secured an outright Mid-American Conference regular-season title due to Akron losing at Buffalo and Kent State's game vs. Ohio being canceled.
"I'm proud of this team and what we've accomplished," Head Coach said. "They hit some unbelievably tough shots tonight and you have to give them credit. I didn't think our defense was the issue. I thought we got stagnant offensive down the stretch and didn't execute like we can.
