An opportunity arose for Toledo with what transpired in Kent on Friday night.
The Golden Flashes throttled Ohio, opening the door for the Rockets to reassume first place in the Mid-American Conference standings.
It wasn’t easy, but UT finally put six-win Central Michigan out of reach when the final second ticked off the clock. The 68-66 win puts Toledo back in the driver’s seat for the MAC championship and the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament.
