The Eastern Michigan Eagles lost for the first time this season and the Toledo Rockets dropped a game Cornell. After Bowling Green and Ohio knocked off smaller schools, the stage was set for Kent to knock off Valpo. Sadly, it didn’t happen, but it was a heck of a game.

Cornell Big Red 80, Toledo Rockets 77

The Rockets have played 2 road games this season and dropped them both. Against Cornell they were cold for most of the game but made a nice comeback at the end. They fell just short.

The Rockets heated up in the last 3 minutes, as Nate Navigato hit a couple threes and Jaelan Sanford added one, but the Rockets couldn’t close the gap all the way.

Navigato led the Rockets in scoring with 22 while Tre’Shaun Fletcher added 20 points and 20 points and 12 rebounds for this third double double in 5 games. Currently the Colorado transfer is averaging 19.3 points, 9 rebounds and 4.3, something to keep in mind when looking forward to the competitors for MAC player of the year.

The Rockets take on the third ranked Kansas Jayhawks on Tuesday, the 28th.

Indiana Hoosiers 87, Eastern Michigan Eagles 67

The Eastern Michigan Eagles gave the Indiana Hoosiers everything they wanted in the first half, but went cold in the second half. The Hoosiers found an offensive rhythm and pulled away.
