The Toledo Rockets (2-2) are set to play host to the Central Michigan Chippewas (1-3) on Saturday in a MAC play opener for both squads, as both teams look to shake off slow starts from the non-conference season.
This has been a date circled on the calendar for “intriguing MAC games” since it was announced earlier this year. This CMU/Toledo game, which has recently been held near the end of league play was bumped up right to the top, setting up a statement game situation for the winner to announce their legitimacy in the MAC West title race.
