In the 3 games since he was declared eligible Clark has averaged 19.7 points and 6.7 assists - considering 2 of those 3 games were against Syracuse and Texas A&M, he should be a strong contender for best player in the MAC during conference play.

Clark is a good player but I think you are overstating his overall value. He's a shot maker and a pretty good ball handler, but I think there will be a few other MAC players that show more overall impact on a game as the season progresses.

Today Ball State gets its 8th straight win over a weak MEAC school, a bunch of MAC teams win against lower division comp and Toledo gets one of the league's better road wins by 13 over a hot Penn team that looks like a contender in the Ivy league. The Rockets started the year off well, then slumped, but are looking pretty good again heading into MAC play.

This was only the 4th game since Missouri transfer Forward Willie Jackson has been eligible and a starter for the Rockets. UT is 3-1 with Jackson as a starter and have an 18 point victory margin over the 3 game win streak.
