Toledo vs. Stetson Prediction

I’m with Toledo here. I think Toledo is just the better team with a lot more scoring depth at the top, and Stetson has been getting crushed away from home more often than not. Now the Hatters did hang in there with Omaha, who hasn’t been great defensively, and in fairness, neither have the Rockets, but Stetson is horrendous on the defensive end of the floor and I don’t think they can score enough to keep pace with Toledo here. Give me the Rockets.
