With a little still left to decide, the MAAC will end up with six teams very close to each other. Plus a little salvation for an Atlantic 10 team, little changes on Friday in an academic league, and a big Buckeye is suspended as a big game beckons.
The big rivalry game will be most remembered for a bizarre occurrence just seconds into the ballgame, and not at all for the final result.
