MAC Today: Quick Sunday Edition

[note: Still guest-blogging the MAC coverage at Hoops Junkie]

Why one game on Sunday? Just to annoy me, I think. I can't quite figure out the schedule makers sometimes. Anyhoo...

Toledo (8-4, 1-3) @ BGSU (5-8, 1-2)

A nice rivalry game for your Sunday viewing enjoyment, and an important game for both teams. Toledo can certainly use a victory to close within a game of West division-leading NIU, while Bowling Green needs to play catch-up in the win-heavy East division. Both teams are coming off of close games against leading teams in the opposite divisions, with Toledo looking to build on a win over Buffalo and BG trying to regroup after a one point loss against NIU. This matchup is usually a close affair, with five of the last seven games decided in the last minute. The Falcons are led by junior Martin Samarco with a 18.1 points scoring average, while Justin Ingram leads Toledo's balanced attack with a 14.6 average.
