BOWLING GREEN — The federal budget. The last-call crowd on Main Street. The Tower of Pisa.
All are more balanced than the Bowling Green-Akron basketball series in recent years.
Heading into Tuesday, Akron had won 29 of their past 32 meetings, the games often as competitive as a sledgehammer against a pane of glass.
Thanks for playing, Falcons.
But history is nothing if not an ongoing story, as Bowling Green proved here in resounding form at an electrified Stroh Center.
In a first-place showdown and the game of the Mid-American Conference year, a Falcons team out to rewrite its past blew away one narrative in their 78-60 waxing of the Zips.
