MAC Championship, All-MAC team, and a weekend full of basketball

The MAC Championship game is tonight as Central Michigan takes on Ohio. CMU is a 13.5 point favorite with an o/u of 52.5. This game is just for bragging rights because both teams will definitely go to bowl games along with MAC cohorts Temple, Bowling Green, and Northern Illinois. Tonight's game starts at 8pm and is on one of the ESPN channels.

The 2009 All-MAC football team was announced yesterday. Three Ball State players were named to the second team. Running back MiQuale Lewis is a return member to the team although he was on the first team last year. OLB Robert Eddins makes his first appearance on the All-MAC team. Defensive End Brandon Crawford made his third straight showing on the team after being honored as a second team member last year and a third team member two years ago. CMUs Dan Lefevour was named player of the year. Temple had a trifecta of honorees as coach Al Golden received the coach of the year honor, running back Bernard Pierce was named freshman of the year, and DE Adrian Robinson was named defensive player of the year. CMU won the rest of the individual awards as Lefevour was named offensive player of the year (obviously) and kick returner Antonio Brown was named special teams player of the year.

Brownsburg's basketball teams both play tonight as the boys host Fishers and the girls travel to Danville. The girls game should be a blowout as the Dogs already defeated Danville 49-22 a few weeks ago. The boys game should be pretty good. BBurg has been defeated by a good Carmel team and has beaten a bad Decatur Central team. Fishers beat a decent HSE team and blew out Manual. Brownsburg is 2-1 against Fishers in the short time that Fishers has been a school.
