Akron stole the ball and had a break away what would have been a game winning lay up, but it rimmed out. We're going to OT

Illinois Springfield doesn't count in the rankings though right?

It counts as a loss, but the computer metrics won't build it into their models. NIU will however have other games to torpedo those rankings

Very impressive win and clearly the MACs best team to begin the season as the team to beat.

Belmont beat Ohio on a buzzer beater 3.
Ohio hit a 3 with under 1.4 seconds left. Belmont threw a long pass to halfcourt and called a quick timeout leaving 1.1 seconds. Then they hit a buzzer beater 3 to win 70-69
Nothing like a friendly local hand on the timer.
Edit: Upon further review..In fairness, I went back this morning and looked at the end of the game and it had nothing to do with the timer. The refs reviewed the time pretty accurately as to when the Ohio shot went in, then the Belmont timeout after inbounding, and again on the final shot. Honestly, they did a good job. You might quibble about a tenth on the Ohio shot, but the final shot was clearly in plenty of time. Just two incredible clutch 3’s in the last couple of seconds to end the game. What a way to start the season.

Toledo led Valparaiso 52-26 at half time. Final score 85-70 UT. Dennis is leading scorer with 23. Toledo defense was outstanding.
Tyler Cochran was very impressive. Thank you Ball State and Norther Illinois for your contribution.
Have there been other basketballers that have played for 3 MAC teams in their career?
