Toledo (3-1, 2-1 D1) vs. Louisiana (2-2, 1-2 D1) – approx. 7:30 PM EST (Live Stream)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day matches up a pair of respectable teams in the semifinals of the Gulf Coast Showcase in Estero, Florida – the Toledo Rockets and the Louisiana Rajun’ Cajuns. Louisiana came into yesterday’s contest on a 2-game losing streak (at Tennessee and at Kansas), but had a rather decisive win against Colorado State in the opening round. Justin Miller had 13 points and 9 rebounds for the Cajuns; JaKeenan Grant led Louisiana with 19 points in their game yesterday.
Toledo was playing a de facto road game against Florida Gulf Coast yesterday, but you would never know that with their domination of the Eagles in a 90-62 rout yesterday that included 12-for-21 shooting from behind the 3-point arc. Jaelen Sanford led the Rockets with 18 points in their game yesterday; Luke Knapke also had 13 points and 9 rebounds as well. The winner of this game will play the Tulane-UC Irvine winner for the Gulf Coast Showcase championship tomorrow night.
