Mynor Strong leads Rockets offensively with 18 points

TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo men's basketball team dropped a 76-68 decision to Horizon League favorite Wright State on Tuesday night in its home opener in Savage Arena.

The Rockets (1-3) saw three players score in double figures with Mynor Strong leading the way with 18 points.

Strong connected on 8-of-12 shots from the field and grabbed three steals. Jaylan Ouwinga also contributed 12 points and a team-high eight rebounds, while Sean Jones finished with 10 points and a game-high nine assists. Will James Jr. and Austin Parks added eight points apiece.

Wright State held a 36-31 advantage at halftime, but the Rockets opened the second half with a 7-0 burst that was capped off by a Parks' three-point play. The Raiders responded with a 14-1 run to take control and the closest UT came the rest of the way was eight points.

The Raiders shot 46.4% from the field, including 38.9% (7-of-18) from three-point range. Toledo shot 37.5 percent from the floor and connected on just 3-of-19 three-point attempts (15.8 percent). Wright State held a slim 43-40 rebound advantage.

Kellen Pickett topped Wright State with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Noah Lewis and Ilija Milijasevic added 16 and 15 points off the bench, respectively.

QUOTING HEAD COACH TOD KOWALCZYK
"We never were consistent offensively tonight. We started out really well up 9-2 and moving the ball. We were scoring some in transition but executing. Then we struggled to score. We got very complacent on the offensive end and just went through lulls. It wasn't our defense that hurt us, it was our offense. We didn't finish around the basket, and we'll certainly evaluate our shot selection. We started off each half great and then we didn't respond to their runs."
