Last Tuesday, Toledo's game was all tied up 33-33 at the half, but luckily for them it didn't stay that way. They came out on top against the Bulls by a score of 77-66. 77 seems to be a good number for Toledo as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of points in their previous game.

Meanwhile, after a string of three wins, Central Michigan's good fortune finally ran out on Tuesday. They took a 73-61 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bobcats. Central Michigan has struggled against Ohio recently, as their contest on Tuesday was their eighth consecutive lost matchup.

The Rockets are on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten matches, which provided a nice bump to their 11-6 record this season. As for the Chippewas, they now have a losing record at 8-9.

Looking forward, Toledo is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 7.5 points. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a five-game streak of failing to cover when expected to win.
