Toledo looks to continue its historic run as the only current MAC program to ever win four consecutive league titles. The Rockets return two starters from last year’s squad, which had a 20-12 overall record and a 14-4 league record. Sophomore forward Javan Simmons (12.2 points per game, 5.0 rebounds per game) was named MAC Freshman of the Year last season, while sophomore guard Sonny Wilson (8.0 points per game, 2.2 assists per game) was named to the MAC All-Freshman Team.

Toledo also brings experienced transfers Isaiah Adams (12.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in Buffalo), Seth Hubbard (14.1 points, 3.4 rebounds per game in WMU) and Colin O’Rourke (17.5 points, 6.2 rebounds per game in Wisconsin-Parkside) to the team.
