The Toledo men's basketball team advanced to their second Mid-American Conference Tournament championship game in four years and eighth overall with a 77-67 win over No. 8 Massachusetts. The victory puts Toledo on the verge of its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1980. The team's key performance was their defensive rebounding, holding out only three offensive rebounds in the first half. All six players scored seven or more in the game against UMass. The Rockets have lost their past six MAC title games, their last in 2023.
