Three players scored in double figures Saturday as the University of Toledo men’s basketball team defeated Grand Valley State 76-71 in an exhibition game at Savage Arena.
Sonny Wilson, a sophomore, scored 15 points to lead the Rockets against their NCAA Division II opponent. Sam Lewis, another sophomore, had 11 points, and junior Seth Hubbard put in 10 points.
Wilson and Javan Simmons each had six rebounds.
"We played 11 guys and learned a lot about ourselves today," UT coach Tod Kowalczyk said. "Grand Valley State is an athletic team and has some size. We've been practicing against each other for quite a while, and it was good for us to finally get a chance to face someone else and see what we need to work on."
The Rockets led 43-35 at halftime after shooting 63 percent from the field in the first half. They led the entire way.
William Dunn led Grand Valley State with 13 points.
UT heads to Michigan for an exhibition game Friday before opening the regular season in the MAC-Sun Belt Challenge Nov. 4 at Troy.
