Falcons Win First Game in Toronto

Good news for the men's hoops team, they picked up a W in Canada over a group of guys called "A Game Hoops."  I'd never heard of these guys...the idea is that players who played in Europe or in the NCAA (of Canadian College ball) join the team and get prepared with the goal of getting pro contracts in Europe.  There also help the development of high school players.  You can check their roster out here.


How good are they?  Well, this all hard to tell.  BGSUFalcons.com had this...

The team had just come off of a seven-point win over Atlantic 10 school Duquesne two nights earlier.

That's a Duquesne that has had some success against BG recently.


Anyway, the Falcons won 91-87.  Sounds like we "played tag," but BG shot the ball well and the Coach from the Canadian team said we were well coached.  Here is the report.

Dee Brown led a balanced Bowling Green effort with 14 points as the Falcons shot 58 percent from the field and made 5-of-7 three-pointers. A'uston Calhoun had 13 points and Scott Thomas added 12. Jordon Crawford knocked down three of the team's five three-pointers and ended with 10 points. The team also made 12-of-14 free-throws down the stretch to ice the game.

91 is a lot of points with only 5 3 pointers.  We must have been playing "inside out."


Anyway, a good start.  Rematch on Friday.
