Former Toledo guard has included Texas A&M as a potential transfer destination

Texas A&M is a finalist to land former Toledo guard Ra’Heim Moss

Texas A&M basketball finished the 2024 season on a high note despite losing to Houston in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Head coach Buzz Williams has now led the Aggies to back-to-back trips to the big dance for the first time in his tenure with the program.

However, several departures have left holes in the roster entering the offseason, led by veteran guard Tyrece Radford after four productive seasons. Even though incoming senior guard Manny Obaseki’s vast improvement at the end of the year should be counted on going forward, adding another reliable offense threat in the backcourt with Wade Taylor IV is necessary.

Another key addition could be coming soon, as it has been confirmed by  On3’s Joe Tipton that Toledo guard Ra’Heim Moss, who recently entered the transfer portal, has narrowed down his future options to Oregon, Ole Miss, Ohio State and Texas A&M.

During his 2023 junior season, Moss, who stands at 6-4 and 205 pounds, led the Rockets with 15.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. He shot 46% from the field but just 30% from beyond the arc.

Emoni Bates went off with a ridiculous 29-straight points for Eastern Michigan in one half

What a first half from Emoni Bates!

Eastern Michigan basketball superstar Emoni Bates completed one of the best halves you’ll see in college basketball on Tuesday night.

In an away game against Toledo, Bates went on an absolute tear and scored 29-straight points during the first half of the game. The rest of his team combined for a total of six points.

Bates entered the college basketball world as one of its most exciting prospects back in 2021 at Memphis. However, he’s really come into his own playing for his hometown Eastern Michigan Eagles this season after transferring.

The rising star continues to pave a bright future for himself on the court with performances like this.

It’s just an incredible feat to nearly score 30 points before the game is halfway over, and another testament to the promise that Bates has in front of him.

The Eagles would surely love to have him back, but the sophomore forward/guard would be eligible for the 2023 NBA Draft this summer.

Toledo vs Central Michigan Game Preview, MAC Tournament

Why Central Michigan Will Win

It’s been a rough run for the Chippewas with eight losses in the last ninth games in the midst of an ugly season, but they pushed a strong Toledo team in a 68-66 loss in mid-February.

The defense isn’t all that bad at forcing mistakes, and the offense works as long as the backcourt is doing a good job of spreading the ball around and doing things quickly. Toledo’s defense doesn’t force mistakes and come up with turnovers, but …

Why Toledo Will Win

Central Michigan doesn’t do enough on defense to keep up.

The offense isn’t totally miserable. It’s not dangerous from the outside and it doesn’t do any one thing all that well, but the defenses allows teams to average 77 points per game and hit 41% of their shots – Toledo can shoot.

More than anything else, the Rockets should own the boards. Central Michigan can’t and doesn’t rebound, but it did in the second meeting and still lost. It was closer, but it still wasn’t enough.

Michigan State basketball downs Toledo at home, 81-68

The Spartans down Toledo, 81-68

It wasn’t easy, and it definitely won’t make Tom Izzo happy, but the Michigan State Spartans downed the Toledo Rockets, 81-68.

It was a slow start for Michigan State in the game, but the Spartans turned a 10-10 game into a 40-15 game after a 30-5 run. The Spartans would take a 43-23 lead into the half.

While the first half went well, the Spartans came out slow and sluggish in the second half, allowing for the Rockets to slowly creep back into the game.

The Rockets would outscore the Spartans 45-38 in the second half, but the Spartans would ultimately come away with the win at home.

Five Spartans would lead the way in scoring, with all five scoring in double figures. Max Christie had 14 points, Gabe Brown scored 12 points, Tyson Walker with 11 points and Marcus Bingham Jr. and AJ Hoggard had 10 points a piece.

The Spartans will be back in action on Wednesday when they open Big Ten play against Minnesota on the road.

Watch: Buzzer-Beater Allows Notre Dame to Win Fifth Straight

notre dame uses miracle to escape with fifth-straight win on hardwood

It certainly wasn’t a masterpiece but for those who took it in it was memorable as Notre Dame improved to 5-1 on the season after a borderline miraculous comeback against Toledo just to force overtime before winning in the extra frame.

Trailing by three with 6.8 seconds remaining Prentiss Hubb missed a free throw that was rebounded by Dane Goodwin who missed a put back before another offensive rebound by John Mooney and a quick kick-out found Temple Gibbs for the potential tie.

And Gibbs shot got stuck between the basket and backboard, forcing a jump-ball with just 1.5 seconds remaining.

The good news was that the possession arrow belonged to Notre Dame so they at least had a chance, which they would take full advantage of.

Nate Laszewski was shooting just 12.5% from beyond the arc entering Thursday night and at one point saw his season total dip to just 2 of 20 (10%) from three-point-range.  He however stepped perfectly into the in-bounded bounce back and drilled the game-tying three as regulation expired, forcing overtime.

The Irish controlled things in OT as they didn’t allow a field goal until a meaningless, yet impressive buzzer-beater as the frame expired, escaping by the skin of their teeth with a 64-62 victory.

It was a night that very little went right for the Irish, shooting just 31.5% from the field and 8 of 35 from downtown (22.9%).  Factor in going just 10 of 17 from the free throw line and the victorious escape is that much more stunning.

Goodwin led the way for Notre Dame with 16 points.  Mooney who has been terrific this season missed Monday’s game against Presbyterian due to a stomach-virus and was just 3-of-11 from the field while scoring seven points.

Notre Dame returns to action Tuesday night when they host Farleigh Dickinson.
