Tip-off time for the contest is set for 7:00 p.m. The game will be televised on BCSN and Spectrum Sports and streamed on ESPN3.
•    Toledo is tied for third place with Ball State in the MAC's West Division and trails division leaders Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois by one game. Ohio is alone in second place in the MAC's East Division, two games behind undefeated Akron.
