Every preseason national preview had Toledo No. 1 in the MAC, with Kent State No. 2, and here they are in the MAC Championship Game. Toledo is the second-highest scoring team in the nation at 85 ppg and the second-best 3-point shooting team, hitting 40%. Kent State is the best defensive team in the MAC, holding opponents to 40% shooting. The teams have the same record (27-6) and have covered almost the same number of times. Great defense vs great offense. Kent State won the only meeting in January, but Toledo hasn’t lost since. That’s 17 straight for the Rockets, who have payback on their minds. Toledo to cover.
