Toledo seniors stand tall in win over Eastern Michigan

University of Toledo seniors Luke Knapke and Willie Jackson notched double-doubles in the Rockets' regular season finale and their final regular-season home game at Savage Arena.

In doing so, the senior duo helped the Rockets to a 79-57 win over Eastern Michigan on Friday night, helping guarantee another home game for the Rockets as they will host Western Michigan in the first round of the Mid-American Conference tournament on Monday.

Toledo earned the No. 7 seed, while Western Michigan is the No. 10 seed.

“It was a great way to honor two really good men in Luke Knapke and Willie Jackson,” Toledo coach Tod Kowalczyk said.
