Most people who prognosticated the winner of the 2021 Men’s MAC Basketball Tournament would likely be lying if they picked the No. 5 seeded Ohio Bobcats to win it all.
After obliterating Kent State on Thursday and downing top-seeded Toledo yesterday, the Bobcats punched their ticket to March Madness with a 84-69 beatdown of the Buffalo Bulls.
Bobcats guard Jason Preston played like a man possessed in each outing, and finished the job by tallying 22 points to go along with 6 boards and 7 assists, with 17 points in the first half, earning MVP honors.
