Toledo at Eastern Michigan 2/19/19 - NCAA Basketball Picks & Predictions

The Rockets have been taking off on the season so far and have only dropped 5 games on the season. One of those losses was very recent as the Rockets failed to take advantage of a very weak start by the Bulls and ended up allowing the Bulls to come back into the game to bring home a win 88-82. However, the Rockets are a team that should be able to bounce back from the loss and help secure the lead they have over the West.

The Rockets have been led in the scoring by Jaelan Sanford who has put in a total of 16.2 points a game on the season. The Rockets have ended up getting 4.4 assist a game from Marreon Jackson. What else will help the Rockets out is the fact they are not relying on any of the big scorers to help in getting the rebounds as Willie Jackson has managed to get 9.6 boards a game. Eastern Michigan for their part is limping into this game after having their offense handcuffed in the last game by Kent State. The Golden Flashes contained the Eagles offense to 58 points and the Eagles defense was grounded and looked flat in the game as they allowed the Golden Flashes to put in a total of 71 points in the game and that is definitely going to be something the Eagles would like to change, but now they are facing Toledo who plays at the same level as Kent State.

Elijah Minnie is the leading scorer for the Eagles with only 13.9 points a game. Paul Jackson has done decent with the passing as he has managed to get 4.6 assist a game. James Thompson IV is the player who plays center for the Eagles with 10.4 boards a game.
