MAC Notes from Saturday...

NIU put on a great performance for the MAC in one of the four bowl games.  They drilled a Fresno State team that is pretty good, delivering a complete butt kicking on both sides of the ball.  Given that they were playing with an interim coach and under turmoil and coming off a very disappointing loss to Miami, this win showed a lot of character.  Chandler Harnish was my pick for MAC player of the year, and he looked like it tonight.  Congrats to the Huskies.

OU....um.  Yeah.  That's gonna leave a mark.  Both OU and Troy beat the Falcons this year, OU solidly and Troy in a really close game.  Well, Troy just embarrassed OU in New Orleans, giving the Sun Belt the first win in the Great Sun Belt challenge.

Finally, in hoops, OU lost a 4-OT game @St. Bonaventure 122-107.  DJ Cooper played 55 minutes, scored 43 points, with 8 rebounds, 13 assists and 8 steals.  He attempted 41 FGs, which is the most in the NCAA in a long time.
