Falcons Win Road Game...

We'll have more on this tomorrow, but the Falcons picked up a key win in a very competitive MAC East. It was a road game held inside of snowbound DeKalb, Illinois.  The win was certainly ugly, as BG let NIU force overtime after having a comfortable lead in the last minutes.  Then, after missing two free throws in OT, either of which would have iced it, they endured Silas' shot going in and out on a 3 attempt to preserve the win.

This was an NIU team without 2 starters and a reserve due to illness, in front of a crowd number in the low 3 figures.  By the time the overtime was ending, NIU was down two more to fouls, making it five total.

Anyway, the only worst thing would have been to leave with a loss, as OU and Akron both did when travelling to EMU and CMU.
