BOWLING GREEN — In a frenetic final 10 minutes, Bowling Green had nearly all of the big shots it needed.
What the Falcons didn't have was the defense to turn them into a win.
Buffalo's offense was a shade better than Bowling Green's, the difference in the Bulls' 88-84 victory on Friday at the Stroh Center in the regular-season finale for both teams.
The loss, Bowling Green's third straight to end the season, gave Akron the outright MAC title and cemented the Falcons as the No. 2 seed in next week's MAC tournament.
Justin Turner scored 19 to lead BG, while Dylan Frye chipped in 16.
