FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

Marrone!

Ah, shit. We got stomped out there today. An absolutely pitiful performance when our offense when to sleep for several minutes at a time.

Case in point....We're up 19-8 with 9:51 left in the first half. We score 6 points the rest of the way, give up 24 (also a poor figure), and we're down 7.

Then, NIU jacks it up to 20 @ 49-29 (making the run a full 41-10 at that point). We fight back, though, and with about 5 left in the game, we had it to 4. Over the next 2 minutes, they scored 8 and we scored 1, and that's all she wrote.

This one hurts. It was winnable, and we didn't. We shot 39.7%, 14 Tos, but shot 23 of our 58 shots from 3--not good. Our three was 30.4%. I listened to the game, and it felt like Moon played about 30 minutes, not 16.

We will never speak of this game again.

Here are the updated standings....I don't pretend to understand MAC tiebreakers, but I know we aren't 7th because we have the tiebreaker against Kent. Game against Miami now a must-win.

1. (East Leader) Miami (11-4)
2. (West Leader) WMU (9-6)
3. Akron (10-5)
4: Buffalo (10-6)
5-7: Bowling Green(9-6)
Kent (9-6)
OU (9-6)
8. Toledo (8-6)
9: BSU (7-7)
10: NIU (6-10)
11: EMU(5-10)
12: CMU (3-13)
13: Marshall (2-13)
