What to Know

The Toledo Rockets won both of their matches against the Eastern Michigan Eagles last season (91-74 and 96-63) and are aiming for the same result Tuesday. Toledo and EMU will face off in a Mid-American battle at 7 p.m. ET at George Gervin GameAbove Center. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Rockets beat the Akron Zips 84-76 this past Friday. Guard Ra'Heim Moss was the offensive standout of the matchup for Toledo, picking up 20 points and six assists in addition to six rebounds.

Meanwhile, EMU netted an 85-75 victory over the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks this past Saturday.

Toledo is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10-point margin of victory. They are currently eight-for-eight against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The wins brought the Rockets up to 17-4 and the Eagles to 8-11. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Toledo ranks 18th in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 80.3 on average. Less enviably, EMU is stumbling into the game with the 41st most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 74.2 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against EMU.
