As the University of Toledo men’s basketball team hosts Northern Illinois today, the Rockets suddenly find themselves in a tie for first place in the Mid-American Conference West Division.
In what has been an up and down season for Toledo, a tough road win Tuesday at Ohio put the Rockets in position atop their division.
“I think that is going to be the MAC this year,” UT coach Tod Kowalczyk said. “There’s a lot of parity. There’s a lot of good teams. The team that stays together and stays healthy and is playing well at the end of the season is going to have a chance to win a championship.
