The opening night of the MAC season in shooty hoops is tonight, and we’ve got a pretty strong slate of games starting off with Buffalo making its way to Toledo at 6 p.m. The Bulls have been up-and-down all season long while the Rockets have shown spurts of brilliance but also lacked consistency. The contest should show us a lot about both squads.
Next, we have five games in the 7 p.m. time slot starting with Northern Illinois heading east to square off with Miami in a battle of two inconsistent clubs so far this season. Akron hosts Bowling Green also, which is a really rough opener for the Falcons as they look to establish an identity in 2016-17.
