The Bowling Green Falcons go the way their superstar guard Keith McLeod goes. For the Golden Flashes of Kent State, shutting down the MAC Player of the Year would mean another conference championship.
College basketball is superior to college football. I never thought I would say that, but it's true. It's not the game play, or the skill level that separates the sports - it's the format and the potential that each team has when the season starts, and when the tournaments begin.
Stan Heath sensed his team was tentative. Kent State, the No. 1 seed in the MAC men's basketball tournament, was even with Marshall at the half. After a record-setting regular season, the Golden Flashes were one poor half away from exiting the MAC post-season in the quarterfinal round.
The UB men's swim team posted 18 lifetime bests at the ECAC championships in Pittsburgh, Pa. over the weekend. As a team, the Bulls scored 142 points at the meet, good enough for ninth place among the 30 teams that scored at the event. Maryland-Baltimore County won the championship for the fifth straight year.

Bulls Drop Two on Saturday
Pity the promotion staff at Northern Illinois and Marshall University.
I swear holidays were invented by women. Back before WWII, when women primarily took care of the home and children, they invented these things they called "annoying days of endless pain," but the name was later changed to "holidays."
AKRON, Ohio - Take a three-game winning streak. Add a healthy amount of knowledge about the opposition. Throw in a 30-foot kangaroo and a dash of revenge. Put it all in a J.A.R. and what do you get?

One sits quietly at a long table making notes when suddenly the foundation begins to shake, a deafening noise fills the brain, and total chaos ensues. Rodney McKissic of the Buffalo News has lost his Internet connection, the Empire Sports Network's Jim Brinson has spilled his coffee, and my notes now look as if they were written by a third grader.
UB head women's basketball coach Cheryl Dozier is getting her recruiting done a little early this year.
It was a game that could have been scripted in Hollywood.
Mike Richter had fallen out of the fraternity that represented the National Hockey League's most feared goaltenders. Over the last few years, the team with the highest payroll in hockey - the New York Rangers - was missing the playoffs, and their net minder was shouldering much of the blame.
Florida Panthers goaltender Trevor Kidd has the worst goatee in hockey. "The Kidder" could play the villain in the next "Batman" movie, with a blonde puff of hair coming off his chin surrounded by dark stubble, serving as a visual deterrent to anyone who dares to get close enough to harm him.
Rushing Offense
Normally, the best teams in basketball, both college and professional, are the teams with some of the most dominant individual players in the game. Teams that win championships are the same teams that often times have one superstar who is showered with all-star selections and MVP trophies.
Running back Derrick "Flash" Gordon eats raw onions before a game. Quarterback Joe Freedy reads Psalm 91, twice, once before the game and once at halftime.
