This game has real at-large implications. These two teams have already beaten Ball St. If these three teams can stay away from upsets against other MAC teams the conference will get at least 1 at-large berth, and if everything broke right they could even get two. For this to happen all three have to stay in the top 50 of the RPI, and it would help if either Ball St or Buffalo ends in the top 25. Right now Buffalo is 24, Ball St is 32 and Central Michigan is 37.
I have seen CMU and Ball St this season and believe they are both top 50 (but not top 25) teams. I look forward to seeing Buffalo tonight.

| Bulls look to have a serious case of the yips starting out. Now down 11 after 1.

That 25 footer that she shook loose for as the clock expired was sweet. But Buffalo is showing signs of getting their legs under them.

| CMU got sloppy (13 TOs), and Buffalo closed the gap. I wouldn’t be surprised if this ended up going to overtime.

| Bulls cut it to 1, but Chips are now up 8 at the 3rd quarter under 5 timeout. Tinara Moore had been pretty quiet, but is now on a scoring run.

| CMU is up 12 after 3 quarters. Buffalo PG Stephanie Reid is on the bench with 4 fouls.

CMU 62-50 end of 3.
CMU looks like an NCAA team. I think Ball St is actually better than Buffalo, even though they lost to them at home. I'd like to see them play again in the MAC tourney.

| Hudson flipped in another circus shot that probably iced this one for the Chips. Rematch in a couple of weeks in Buffalo!

| Sloppy play from CMU since Frost fouled out, but they're still up by 9
