Overcoming the Odds: Women's basketball puts doubters to rest, despite falling in MAC final

The CMU bench explodes after a big play during the game against the University at Buffalo in Quicken Loans Arena, Saturday, March 12, 2016.

The Central Michigan women's basketball team had a chance to accomplish something Head Coach Sue Guevara said most people thought was not possible this season.

As overtime expired in the Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship, Buffalo sophomore guard Stephanie Reid made a shot off the backboard to send the Bulls to a 73-71 win.

CMU's goal of winning the MAC Tournament Championship was not accomplished. Guevara said what her team did accomplish was making it to the championship game.
