CLEVELAND, Ohio – Junior forward Setric Millner scored 17 of his 22 points in the second half as Toledo rallied to pull out a 72-71 victory over Central Michigan in quarterfinal action of the Mid-American Conference Men's Basketball Tournament at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland on Thursday.
The highest scoring team in the MAC this season, the Rockets (26-6) won this game with a big defensive play by junior forward JT Shumate, who forced a critical turnover on an inbounds play with 10.1 seconds remaining and the Rockets holding a one-point lead. After sophomore guard Ryan Rollins was fouled and missed the front end of a one-and-one, CMU grabbed the rebound and moved the ball up the floor for the final shot.
