Toledo @ Oakland

Current Records: Toledo 2-0; Oakland 1-1

What to Know

The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are 1-4 against the Toledo Rockets since December of 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Wednesday. Oakland will take on Toledo at 7 p.m. ET at home. The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two.

The Golden Grizzlies escaped with a win last week against the Oklahoma State Cowboys by the margin of a single free throw, 56-55. Guard Jalen Moore (16 points) and forward Jamal Cain (14 points) were the top scorers for Oakland.

Meanwhile, Toledo beat the Detroit Titans 81-73 this past Saturday.

Oakland is now 1-1 while the Rockets sit at 2-0. A pair of last-season stats to keep an eye on: The Golden Grizzlies are 355th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 13 on average. But Toledo is stumbling into the matchup with the fifth fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 12.5 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
