TOLEDO, Ohio -- Jaelan Sanford scored 22 points, including a basket with 13 seconds left, and Toledo defeated Akron 67-65 on Friday night.

Sanford's leaning, one-handed jumper from the center of the paint gave Toledo a 66-62 lead. After a timeout, Akron turned the ball over on the inbounds. Marreon Jackson made a free throw for Toledo before Jimond Ivey made a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Tre'Shaun Fletcher scored 14 points with 10 rebounds for the Rockets (9-6, 1-1 Mid-American), who have won four of their last five.
