Postgame notes vs. Toledo

Seven and a half minutes into the halftime break, both teams returned to the floor to replay 0.8 seconds. Toledo had previously hit a three-pointer at the buzzer that was called good by the officials, who reviewed the tape and called it good again and sent both teams to their locker rooms. After further review, however, it was determined that a shot clock violation had occurred, forcing the officials to call both teams back to the court. Jalin Thomas received the in-bounds pass and took a quick attempt at a half-court shot that missed, sending both teams back to the locker room, this time with the Chippewas leading 36-28.

Trey Zeigler reached a new career high by the 13:46 mark in the second half, when a three-pointer gave him his 25th point of the game.

The Chippewas' 48.1 field goal percentage (26-of-54) was the highest of the season and marked the first time in eight game they shot over 40 percent. They hit an even 50 percent in the second half.

CMU's 16 assists matched the season's best, originally accomplished at South Alabama November 20.

Amir Rashid tallied seven assists, notching a season high and match his career best, and turned the ball over just three times.

Jalin Thomas (10 points) and Zeigler (17) combined for 27 of the Chippewas' 36 first-half points.

Zeigler's 16.7 points per game rank fourth among all MAC players; he is the only freshman among the league's top 25 scorers.

Through two games, Zeigler leads the league in conference-only scoring (26.0 ppg).
