The Rockets spanked Ohio in Athens by 18 on Jan. 21 -- the Bobcats' only loss in a span of 15 games. I absolutely expect this one to be much closer, but Toledo is simply the better team. The Rockets, who lead the MAC in shooting percentage and defensive shooting percentage, fell out of first place in the MAC with Friday’s loss to Ball State but that was a bit of a trap game. The defeat prevented UT from matching the best start to a conference season in program history. And, hey, there are free T-shirts for the first 300 students for this White Out Game! The Rockets have won 12 straight at home.

Ohio has won five straight (2-3 ATS), while Toledo comes off a loss at Ball State after winning and covering eight straight. Toledo is 9-0 at home and is the better all-around team. Back Toledo to cover.
