A win over the Bulls would give the Rockets their first MAC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament appearance in 38 years. Tip-off time is set for 7:00 p.m. on ESPN2.
Freshman Marreon Jackson nailed a three-point field goal with nine seconds left to lift Toledo to a dramatic 64-63 victory over Eastern Michigan in last night's semifinals.
