Chippewas earn upset
Unlike Ball State's season-opening wins over Kansas and UCLA two years ago or the attention-getting wins posted by MAC football teams this season, eye-catching upsets have been scarce for the basketball teams.
But Central Michigan defeated No. 23 Notre Dame 69-68 last Saturday. The Chippewas' upset of the Fighting Irish was unlikely. Despite playing their sixth game in 13 days, they led for most of the game before facing a five-point deficit with 29 seconds left. But 5-foot-6 Joe Carr hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer for the win.
• Kent State and Toledo both opened the season with four consecutive wins but against mostly unimpressive teams.
• Marshall's Ronny Dawn, the former Newport Catholic sharpshooter, led the MAC with an average of 3.4 3-pointers a game.
