Game 14—@Toledo


Recommended Posts

The Zips head into Toledo Friday night to take on the 8-6 Rockets.  The Rockets finished last season 17-17 and 9-9 in the MAC. Gone from last year’s squad are three starters that all made significant contributions.  Senior G/F Colorado transfer Tre’Shaun Fletcher leads the 2017-18 Rockets in scoring (18.1 ppg), rebounding (8.4 rpg) and assists (3.6 apg).  The Rockets also have West Division Preseason All-MAC guard Jaelan Sanford who averages 16.1 ppg.  The Rockets were predicted to finish 3rd in the West in the MAC Preseason Poll.

The key for tonight is how well the Zips contain Willie Jackson, a guy who, if I'm remembering correctly, barely chose Missouri over the Zips out of high school and was rumored to be transferring to Akron before ultimately ending up at Toledo. The rockets were not a very good team before he became eligible a few weeks ago, but have been on a tear since he joined the starting lineup.

That's quite a trio when you add Jackson to Fletcher and Sanford.
