Detroit at Toledo

Toledo has gotten off to a shaky start, but it is mostly schedule. They have played one of the toughest early schedules of any team, playing on the road at Iowa, Missouri St, Kansas, Vandy and Drexel. They had their home opener vs NC-Wilmington, a win, and are now ready to start winning. This is a team that will be playing with a chip on its shoulder. They won 20 games last year went 12-6 in the MAC, and did not even get invited to the NIT. The good news is all 5 starters are back, and 10 of the top 12 players. This team is loaded with guards, and wing players, and will create problems for all, now that they are back playing on their level. Detroit is off a .500 season, and has really struggled to find the win column on the road. This year they have taken the 0-for on the road dropping their first 5. It runs their road record now to 5-28 over 2+ years, last year winning only at lowly Youngstown St, and E. Michigan. They have averaged losing by 18 ppg this year on the highway, and with a loaded Toledo team hungry for some W's after some top notch competition early, it doesn't look good for Detroit.
