MAC basketball notes and scores:
Cleveland State 57, Kent State 53 — High energy, sold out crowds, and a Chris Evans dunk. All absent from the perfect MAC equation was a Kent State win. This is no embarrassing loss; CSU is ranked 26th in the polls that count. And it can't help any further that CSU is now coached by ex-Kent State basketball coach Gary Waters.
Defense ruled the day, naturally, but Kent State had a difficult time buying a 3-point bucket. They literally could not bribe any of their 3-point shots to go down. Mostly because they don't accept money. They went 1-for-17 from said line. Meanwhile, both teams combined for 42 turnovers and just 39 field goals. Eek.
Evans led the team with 14 points and eight rebounds. Justin Greene tallied a mere 13 points and seven boards.

BGSU 67, Detroit 61 — Hosting tournaments is fun! The Titans matched BG minute-for-minute on most of this game, and then the Falcons just took off in the final seconds. Your trademark "team effort" won MVP, but A'uston Calhoun did top the team with 14 points and six rebounds. Nothing pops out on the box score; they wuz just a little better.
Women's games:
...
BGSU 57, Detroit 49 — It's a coed sweep, and they did this one on the road. Much like the men's game, they kept it close then pulled away at the end, despite getting out-rebounded 52-28. Chrissy Steffen is emerging as a scoring threat for the Falcons, totaling 23 points. But here was the key: only five turnovers to UDM's 17.

Cleveland State
It’s certainly far more common for the Horizon League to get some extra love in the NCAA Tournament than the Big South, and the conference is certainly on the basketball nation’s radar after Butler made two consecutive trips to the title game. But with Norris Cole gone this season, the Vikings didn’t appear to be the team to beat in the conference. They certainly are playing the part after taking out Vanderbilt and Kent State on the road and a strong St. Bonaventure team at home by Lake Erie.

Bowling Green 67, Detroit 61
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — A’uston Calhoun scored 14 points, Scott Thomas added 10 and Bowling Green went 7-for-7 at the foul line in the game’s final 39 seconds as the Falcons beat Detroit 67-61 Tuesday night.
The Falcons (3-1) remain undefeated in the Progressive CBE Classic subregional on their home court with the second win in as many games.
With the game tied at 52-all with less than five minutes left, Cameron Black’s jumper started a 15-7 Bowling Green run over a 4 1/2 minute span to put the game out of reach.
The last seven of those points came on foul shots as Calhoun (2-for-2), Jordan Crawford (2-for-2), Luke Kraus (2-for-2) and Thomas (1-for-1) were all perfect at the stripe.
The Falcons scored 25 points off 21 Detroit turnovers while committing just 15 themselves.
Evan Bruinsma led the Titans (2-3) with 17 points, Jason Calliste added 16 and Ray McCallum had 11.
