The Buffalo Bulls defeated the Bowling Green State Falcons 87-73 in the MAC Championship final, which means the season is over for the Falcons. This title is the fourth MAC Tournament title in the last five years for the Bulls.
The Falcons were looking for their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1968. This was also their first appearance in the MAC Championship game in 17 years. The two teams split their season series, with the Falcons winning at Bowling Green and the Bulls winning at Buffalo in the regular season finale.
The first half was two different stories.
