Toledo is looking to continue its historic run as the only current MAC program ever to win four consecutive outright league titles. The Rockets are returning two starters from last year's squad that posted a 20-12 overall record and 14-4 league mark. Sophomore forward Javan Simmons (12.2 ppg, 5.0 rpg) earned MAC Freshman of the Year honors last season, while sophomore guard Sonny Wilson (8.0 ppg, 2.2 apg) was named to the MAC All-Freshman Team.

Toledo also is adding veteran transfers Isaiah Adams (12.8 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 3.7 apg at Buffalo), Seth Hubbard (14.1 ppg, 3.4 rpg at WMU) and Colin O'Rourke (17. 5 ppg, 6.2 rpg at Wisconsin-Parkside).
