Falcon Host Bulls For Mac
And he's sharing it over at SportsLine. Oh knows that Bowling Green is coming off an impressive 44-16 win on the road against Kent State last week. Freshman quarterback Jarret Doege returned from injury, which gave the Falcons, a team with just one win going into that game, a huge boost of confidence. Doege's presence opens up even more room for running back Andrew Clair, an All-MAC candidate thanks to his average of over 100 yards per game on the ground in conference action.
Buffalo is 10th in the MAC in rushing defense, giving up 209.4 yards per game. The Falcons' offense should have plenty of opportunities to move the ball in this one. But just because Bowling Green comes into this matchup with some momentum doesn't mean they'll cover a nine-point spread. Bowling Green is dead last in the MAC against the run and tied for 10th against the pass. That could mean big numbers for Buffalo receiver Anthony Johnson, who is among the nation's leading receivers with 888 yards.
Like Bowling Green, Buffalo recently got its starting quarterback, Tyree Jackson, back. The Bulls' offense should be in position to put up big numbers as well. Oh is leaning Under on a large total of 60, but what about the spread? His simulations point to a big edge for one team, and he's sharing who that is over at SportsLine.

By Daniel Taylor, For The Miami Student Miami University women’s basketball pulled off a big upset over the University at Buffalo Saturday. The RedHawks (5-20, 2-12 Mid-American Conference) defeated the Bulls (15-10, 8-6 MAC) 78-68 on the road. Miami lost to the Bulls earlier in the season by 20 points and came into the game as a heavy underdog.
However, four RedHawks turned in solid nights. The ’Hawks were led once again by freshman guard Baleigh Reid, who finished with a career high 18 points. Reid wasn’t alone at the top of the box score. Freshman guard Kayla Brown joined with 18 of her own. The pair combined to shoot 12 of 19 from the field, adding 10 free throws on 11 attempts.
Reid drained all eight free throw attempts, an area she has been working hard at all season. “Buffalo’s crowd was pretty crazy,” Reid said.
“I’m glad I was able to knock them down, especially towards the end.” Reid silenced a charging Bulls team near the end. Buffalo had cut the lead from 15 to four with under a minute remaining, when junior guard Mackenzie Loesing sent Reid to the line. Reid knocked both free throws down and would do that two more times. Reid finished with 6 points in the final minutes and put the game on ice for the RedHawks. “She stepped up with confidence and knocked them down,” Wright said. “Not just Baleigh, all the kids had a really strong mentality.” Freshman guard Ana Richter came off the bench for the ’Hawks and tied a career-best with 17 points in 27 minutes of action. Senior guard Courtney Larson was fourth player who came up big for the ’Hawks.
She drained all three 3-point attempts and finished with 16 points. The RedHawks shot 52 percent from the field and had an electric night from beyond the arc, going 8 for 10. The young team has gone through bumps and bruises throughout the season, but Wright said this is what he wants to see in the future. “How we respond to the victory will be important,” Wright said. “One game does not define you.” The RedHawks return home Wednesday to face Bowling Green State University. The Falcons (9-16, 2-12 MAC) are tied with Miami in the basement of the MAC East.
BGSU is on a seven-game losing streak after falling 62-58 at home to Kent State University Saturday. The last win for the Falcons was a 66-53 victory over Miami Jan.

The MACtion begins 7 p.m. Wednesday at Millett Hall.
