ANCHORAGE, AK – Six days after letting a double-digit lead to Loyola evaporate, Toledo gained a bit of revenge with an 82-74 victory over the Ramblers in the 2015 GCI Great Alaska Shootout semifinals. The victory put UT into the championship game against Middle Tennessee.
Five Rockets scored in double digits with junior guard Jonathan Williams and sophomore guard Stuckey Mosley setting the pace with 20 and 18 points, respectively. Joining the backcourt duo in double figures were freshman guard Jaelan Sanford (14 pts.), senior center Nathan Boothe (12 pts.) and freshman forward Nate Navigato (10 pts.).
Mosley topped the Rockets with eight rebounds to go along with five assists, while Boothe dished out a team-high seven assists and grabbed six boards.
Toledo shot 52.0 percent (26-of-50) from the field and 7-of-19 (36.8 percent) from three-point range. A night after making just five of 12 free throws, the Rockets converted an impressive 23-of-25 attempts (92.0 percent), with all of them coming in the second half.
UT limited Loyola to a 40.9 shooting mark (27-of-66). The Ramblers were able to stay within striking distance of the Rockets thanks to an 8-of-17 effort beyond the three-point arc in the second half.
Sophomore guard Ben Richardson led LU with a career-high 21 points thanks to hitting 6-of-7 three-point shots.
