BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - Toledo (13-7, 4-4 MAC) will look to get back on the winning track on Saturday, Jan. 27 when the 2017 Mid-American Conference Champions travel to arch-rival Bowling Green (10-9, 2-6 MAC). Game time is slated for 2:00 p.m. in the Stroh Center and will be streamed live on ESPN3.Â
UT has dropped its last two contests against MAC East Division leader Buffalo, 87-69, and most recently Kent State, 62-55. The Rockets were hurt by turnovers and poor shooting from the outside in the losses, averaging 20.5 miscues and connecting on only 26.3 percent (10-of-38) from three-point land.
Toledo currently sits in fifth place in the MAC West Division standings, four games behind leader Central Michigan (15-3, 7-0 MAC) and one contest below second-place Ball State (16-3, 5-3 MAC), Western Michigan (12-8, 5-3 MAC) and Eastern Michigan (9-10, 5-3 MAC).
On Wednesday, the Golden Flashes won the MAC cross-division contest at the free throw line to snap UT's 15-game home winning streak, the sixth-longest unbeaten stretch in school history. KSU converted 30-of-38 (78.9 percent) at the charity stripe, while the Rockets shot 12-of-18 (66.7 percent). Â
Junior Mikaela Boyd paced UT with 19 points and a game-high 13 boards to post her fifth double-double over the last seven games. Boyd filled up the stat sheet against the reigning MAC East Champions, tallying a contest-best five helpers and a game-tying high three steals in a contest-best 39 minutes.
Sophomore Mariella Santucci was the only other Rocket in double figures with a season-tying best 13 points off the bench.
Junior Kaayla McIntyre chipped in with eight points, 10 caroms, a game-high three rejections and a contest-tying best three steals in 35 minutes. Despite the solid numbers across the board, McIntyre was held under 10 points for the first time in the last 17 games.
As a team, the Rockets were limited to 31.7 percent (19-of-60) from the floor, including 21.7 percent (5-of-23) from three-point land.
Jordan Korinek led KSU with a game-high 30 points and 11 rebounds. Korinek did a majority of the damage at the line, shooting 17-of-18 to help KSU record its first win in Savage Arena since Jan. 27, 2007.
Toledo, which is 4-6 away from home, continues to be fueled offensively by the trio of McIntyre, Boyd and senior Jay-Ann Bravo-Harriott, who are tallying 14.9, 11.5 and 11.4 ppg, respectively.Â
The Rockets will take on a Bowling Green team which has split its last four contests, most recently suffering an 82-41 setback at Ball State on Wednesday. Kennedy Williams and Madisen Parker paced the Falcons with seven points each against the Cardinals.
