CLEVELAND — Toledo and Ohio split their regular-season matchups, creating consternation among UT supporters leading into the Mid-American Conference tournament.
The fretting can now be put to rest after the Rockets took Round 3, 80-67, in the quarterfinals of the MAC tournament on Wednesday at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.
Toledo will play the winner of fourth-seeded Northern Illinois and fifth-seeded Ball State at 11 a.m. Friday.
There were three ties and four lead changes in a frenetic, back-and-forth first half, as Ohio’s small lineup and athleticism often dictated the pace. Neither team led by more than four points.
