WMU rolled the dice by guarding the Falcons' tiny point guard with a tall athletic guy, and it worked for a little bit — although the Falcons team effort showed up again to put away the MAC West leaders.

With just three holes left in the championship match, the Falcons staged a comeback that capped an incredible reversal of fortune from 2012.

The Falcons, needing a win to keep pace with Akron, built a 55-54 loss to the Broncos brick-by-brick. The loss is BGSU's fourth in the MAC this season -- their most in nine years.

BGSU hung with the Bobcats for a half, but Ohio used an early second half run to cinch their first 8-1 MAC start in 29 years.

BGSU built up a double digit lead and despite the Bulls' best efforts, the Falcons won their 17th straight game against their blue and white opponents.

Sure, it was against Northern Illinois. But it's still one road win for the Falcons, which is more than they had yesterday.

An 84-59 loss at Bowling Green snapped a 13-game streak where the Chips scored at least 70 points.

Bowling Green badly needed a win, and the Falcons earned it in convincing fashion by cruising to a 70-59 win over the Ball State Cardinals. BGSU never trailed in the game.

Once again the Zips demonstrated why they haven't lost since December 15. But while Bowling Green had no chance of winning, signs are positive around the emergence of a third scorer.
