In desperate need of a win, the University of Toledo men's basketball team had chances against Northern Illinois on Tuesday night at Savage Arena, but Huskies star guard Eugene German made enough clutch plays late in the game for NIU to earn a 66-61 win.
German scored six of the last eight Huskies points on his way to 25 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the field and a 3-of-6 mark on 3-pointers.
The result was the fourth straight loss for Toledo (11-12, 3-7 MAC) as the Rockets struggle to find answers during the recent skid.
“I thought Eugene German may have had the best game that I've seen him have,” Toledo coach Tod Kowalczyk said.
