Junior Mynor Strong leads Rockets with 11 points

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Junior Mynor Strong led the Toledo men's basketball team with 11 points on Thursday night in a 91-61 defeat at No. 6 Michigan State in the sold-out Breslin Center.

Joining Strong in double digits was junior Jaylan Ouwinga with 10 points. Redshirt senior Sean Jones and freshman Rashaun Porter each contributed nine points, with redshirt senior Angel Montas Jr. adding eight points.

Freshman Jasiah Jervis led MSU with a game-high 16 points and was one of four Spartans in double digits.

Sophomore Will James Jr. grabbed a team-high five rebounds for the Rockets.

Toledo shot 33.3% from the field, while Michigan State posted a 50.9 shooting mark.

The Spartans also held a 52-27 advantage on the boards. The Rockets' leading rebounder from a year ago, senior center Austin Parks, sat out the contest due to injury.

QUOTING HEAD COACH TOD KOWALCZYK
"First of all, I want to say that I'm just very, very thankful for the opportunity to play tonight's game at Michigan State. I can't say enough good things about Coach Izzo and his staff for giving us an opportunity to play this game, because these are games that when you're a really good mid-major program they are really hard to get. I think the first 5-10 minutes we got some good looks and didn't make them. Then we stopped moving, dribbled too much, and got a little bit selfish. Give them credit. That's a really good defensive team and they're ranked sixth in the country for a reason."

UP NEXT
Toledo has a quick turnaround and will travel to Huntington, W. Va. to face Marshall on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 2 p.m. The Rockets will host Wright State in their home opener on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m.
