Preview: Toledo Looks to Extend Win Streak Against Oakland AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (Interstat) — The Toledo Rockets will look to build on their highest-scoring output of the season when they visit the Oakland Golden Grizzlies in a nonconference men’s basketball game Saturday. The Rockets (5-3) are coming off a dominant 102-58 victory over Central State on Monday, where they shot 56% from the field. Oakland (4-5) also enters on a high note, having defeated Purdue Fort Wayne 101-92 on Wednesday to snap a two-game skid. The matchup features two of the region’s most dynamic guards. Toledo’s Austin Parks is averaging 16.4 points over his last five games, highlighted by a 27-point effort in just 22 minutes Monday. For Oakland, Brody Robinson has been a catalyst, averaging 24.3 points and 7.3 assists over his last three contests, including a 27-point, 8-assist performance in the win over Purdue Fort Wayne. Toledo’s offense has been potent, averaging 86.1 points in its five wins. However, the Rockets have struggled defensively in losses, allowing an average of 84.3 points. Oakland presents a similar profile, thriving in an up-tempo style but seeking consistency after early road losses to power-conference opponents Michigan and Houston. The Golden Grizzlies will rely on home-court advantage at the Athletics Center O’rena, where they are 3-1 this season. Toledo is 1-2 in true road games. This game serves as a final tune-up before both teams enter extended holiday breaks. Toledo visits Robert Morris on Dec. 13, while Oakland travels to Northern Iowa the same day. Saturday’s contest tips off at 2 p.m. EST.
