Falcon MBB Loses 4th Straight
The Falcons MBB team fell for the 4th straight time and is down to 2-6 in MAC play, as the year continues to be a slog and success is eluding the Falcons.
BG never led and the last time with 6 minutes into the first half. A 4 minute 13-3 run put Kent up 11 with 8 to play. BG got it down to 5 with 5 minutes left, but a 15-2 run for Kent closed the half out with the Flashes up 18. BG never got it closer than 15 and trailed by as much as 25 in the second half.
It was one of BG's slower games at 64 possessions. BG had a terrible offensive game at .88 points per possession. Their only worst game this year was St. Thomas. It wasn't a stellar night on defense either, as Kent scored 1.17 points per possession.
You aren't going to win either way.
BG had their second-worst shooting night of the year, worsted only by that weird NM State game. BG tried 49% of their shots from 3FG, which is the most this year. Unfortunately, they made only 27% and 37% on 2FG%. Turnovers were OK, offensive rebounding was poor and BG did get to the line. They were +7 at the line and lost by 18.
Kent's EFG% was 61%, the best shooting against BG since the Ball State game. Kent made 56% from 2FG and 46% from 3FG. Turnovers were even, BG was decent on the defensive boards and we've already covered the free throws.
Marcus Johnson had 19 on 3 of 8 and 4 of 9 shooting. Team-high 6 rebounds and 4 turnovers. Campbell had 16 on 1 of 6 and 1 of 5 shooting as he battles his hand injury, but made 11-12 at the line. BG started Humphrey in place of Butler, I assume due to Humphrey's strong +/- last time out, but that didn't play out this time around.
So back on the road in Mt. Pleasant Saturday. The four-game losing streak is the worst in Simon's time here...Huger lost 9 straight in his last season.

Frankly, I watched 1st half. The tuned back in for 1st min of 2nd. BG S “0ffense” looked like it was a slo mo replay. Other than Johnson other guys looked AFRAID to shoot. Was surprised at # of 3 s taken unless they were just firing up to try to get back in. I didn’t watch last 16 min. so don’t know. That trip this team to promote UNITY for new players must’ve been just a vacation because they didn’t look Unified!
