Tip-off time in Savage Arena is set for 6:00 p.m. with the game being televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network. Friday s contest vs. CMU will have major implications for UT in its quest to host a first-round game in the 2017 MAC Tournament. The Rockets lead the Chippewas by one game in the league standings and need a victory to hold the tiebreaker vs. CMU. The Rockets, who are tied for third place in the MAC s West Division with Northern Illinois, saw a 15-point second-half lead disappear for a third-straight game in their setback to the Broncos. Senior forward Steve Taylor, Jr., who paced the Rockets with 17 points and tied his career high and Savage Arena record with 23 rebounds, had a chance to win the game for UT in regulation but his 15-foot jumper rimmed out. Senior guard Jonathan Williams ranks third in the MAC with a team-high 19.7 ppg. He also leads UT with an 81.0 FT%, 124 FTs made and 153 FTs attempted and is averaging a team-best 3.9 apg in league play. Taylor ranks second in team scoring with 15.7 ppg to go along with a MAC-best 12.4 rpg and a team-high 3.6 apg. He sits third nationally in rebounding (through Feb. 22) and second with 10.0 defensive rpg (just behind Purdue s Caleb Swanigan s total of 10.2). In addition, Taylor s 20 double-doubles rank third in the nation. Sophomore guard Jaelan Sanford is also a double-digit scorer for the Rockets with 13.9 ppg and is playing a team-high 36.0 mpg. In league play, he is averaging 14.6 ppg and 3.7 apg with a 52.4 FG%, PTFG% and 2.1 assist/turnover ratio. As a team, Toledo ranks second in the MAC with 80.1 ppg and is first with a 48.4 FG% (23rd nationally) and 16.1 apg. UT leads the MAC in league play with a 49.1 FG% and 17.1 apg. The Rockets have tied a national record with eight overtime games that was previously held by Western Kentucky (1978), Portland (1984) and Valparaiso (1993). UT s previous record for overtime games was five in the campaign. The Chippewas are in the midst of a season-long four-game losing streak with their last three setbacks coming on their home floor. In the national rankings, CMU sits second with 12.7 three-point field goals per game, third with 89.0 ppg and fourth with a 78.4 FT%. Junior guard Marcus Keene leads the nation with 29.8 ppg, while senior guard Braylon Rayson ranks second in the MAC with 20.8 ppg.

8 PAIR OF TRANSFERS TO DON MIDNIGHT BLUE AND GOLD NEXT YEAR Tre Shaun Fletcher (Wilmar, AR) and Willie Jackson (Cleveland, OH) are each expected to become key contributors for the Rockets in the campaign. Fletcher transferred to Toledo from Colorado last spring, while Jackson attended Missouri last fall before becoming a member of UT s program in early January. Fletcher will be eligible to play for UT at the start of the season, while Jackson can play his first game as a Rocket following the 2017 fall semester. Fletcher averaged a career-high 7.1 ppg and grabbed 2.4 rpg in his final campaign at Colorado and started 14 of 34 games played. He scored in double figures on nine occasions, including a Pac-12-high 15 points, six rebounds and two steals at Oregon State.

In 11 games at Missouri this season, Jackson averaged 5.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game and shot 54.7 percent from the field in 16.9 minutes per game. He opened his collegiate career with an 11-point, nine-rebound outing vs. Alabama A&M (Nov. 13) and also registered an 11-point, seven-board contest vs. Northwestern State (Nov. 26). PREP TRIO TO JOIN ROCKETS IN The trio of Logan Hill (Massillon, OH), 6-0, 170-pound point guard Marreon Jackson (Cleveland, OH) and 6-3, 185-pound guard Dwayne Rose Jr. (Crete, IL) will each join the Rockets beginning in the academic year.

Stuckey Mosley and Jonathan Williams joined Boothe in double figures with 17 and 15 points, respectively. Chris Fowler and John Simons tallied 20 and 19 points, respectively, to lead the Chippewas.

Neither squad led by more than four points in the opening stanza with a Fowler layup four seconds before halftime putting the visitors in front by a margin.
