Preview: Toledo Looks to Sweep Season Series at Bowling Green BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (Interstat) — A tightly contested Mid-American Conference race brings renewed focus to a heated in-state rivalry Saturday when the Bowling Green Falcons host the Toledo Rockets. The Falcons (15-10) will seek to avenge a narrow road loss and protect their home court at the Stroh Center, while the Rockets (13-12) aim to complete a regular-season sweep in a series often decided in the final moments. The teams’ first meeting on Jan. 24 was a classic, with Toledo escaping with a 73-72 home victory. That result is indicative of recent trends in the rivalry and adds stakes to the Valentine’s Day rematch. A key matchup will feature two of the MAC’s standout guards. Toledo’s Austin Parks enters in strong form, coming off a 17-point, 4-assist, 3-block performance in a 90-79 win at Western Michigan on Wednesday. Over his last eight games, Parks has averaged 14.3 points and has been a consistent two-way force. Bowling Green will counter with dynamic guard Javontae Campbell, who nearly willed his team to victory in the January loss, scoring 29 points and dishing 8 assists. Campbell has been a volume scorer and playmaker, averaging over 20 points in his last five contests. Containing him will be a primary focus for the Toledo defense. Bowling Green holds the superior overall record but has been inconsistent in conference play. The Falcons are fresh off a 68-52 road win at Northern Illinois but were routed 91-54 at Arkansas State just four days prior. Toledo has also struggled for consistency, alternating wins and losses over its past six games. The Rockets’ offense, which put up 90 points midweek, will test a Bowling Green defense that has shown both resilience and vulnerability. The game carries weight for conference tournament seeding, with both teams jockeying for position in the crowded MAC standings. The Falcons will look to leverage home-court advantage, where they are 9-3 this season, while the Rockets seek a critical road win to bolster their record. Saturday’s winner will gain momentum and a key tiebreaker as the regular season enters its final stretch. Tip-off is set for 5 p.m. EST at Stroh Center.
