MMBOD Mar 11: Justin Ingram - Toledo

|

Nobody had Toledo in November and nobody had them in January -- the Rockets were considered a weak-rebounding Mid-American afterthought in the preseason, and dug themselves a 1-6 hole once conference play started. But when you hit a lot of shots, you don't need to clean the glass, and scoring is what they've done in their 10-game league win streak, a ride that's taken them all the way to the title game.

Last night, junior point guard Justin Ingram dropped shot after shot to keep the Rockets from being completely run off the floor, and then when Akron believed it had safely built a 13-point lead midway through the second half, the Rockets attacked. Ingram hit the jumper that brought them within one, and nabbed a series of improbable offensive rebounds as UT began pulling away. Now, they're one game away from the MAC title.
