Toledo has a 21-7 record compared to Ohio’s 14-7 but that just means Ohio has much fresher legs playing their 5th game since Feb 2nd while Toledo is playing their 9th. The Rockets are very thin and no bench with only 6 players but off an OT game yesterday they needed 7 players with the starters all playing 35+ and the top two playing 41 and 43 minutes.

Bobcats leading scorer Jason Preston didn't play in Ohio's 17-point loss at Toledo two months ago. They're 10-5 with him in the lineup, including a two-point loss to Illinois in which Preston had 31 points, eight assists and six rebounds. I love Ohio U as the dog here on Friday evening.
