When University of Toledo’s star player Tre’Shaun Fletcher went down with a knee injury in the Mid-American Conference tournament last season, it provided a glimpse of what could be expected for the Rockets this season.
And one thing that stood out was the exceptional play of point guard Marreon Jackson, who was a freshman at the time.
In the semifinal game against Eastern Michigan, Jackson made eight 3-pointers, including the game-winning 3, on the way to 26 points. He backed that up with 13 points in the title game against Buffalo and earned All-Tournament honors.
