FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

Falcons Destroyed @ WMU

BG was killed at WMU, 84-62. Given that we actually led 16-4, that means we were outscored 80-46 over a 35 minute stretch or so. Nothing else is going to tell the story better than that.

I was about to write an article that we had put together a new way to win--play tight D, and that it was proof of a resourceful coaching staff that knew we didn't have scorers.

Glad I didn't write that. Sheesh. WMU shot 52% in the first half and 57% in the second half, while we shot 40% for the game. We held ourselves to 19 fouls and 16 TOs, so that was better, but this game was a total disaster.

WMU was coming off a long road streak, and a losing streak, and I think they were hungry as hell. Hawkins is a damn good coach, and is retooling that program, though they don't have a great record this year. There was no doubt who the better team out there today was.

Floyd stepped up with 23, which he should not have to do. Mawel shouldn't have to hit 2 treys, either. Samarco had 14, and was 1-6 from beyond the arc.

We have the worst shooting big men in history. Marschall was 1-6 from the field and Lefeld was 1-4. We were killed (36-24) on the boards.

Let's hope we can bring some kind of effort Wednesday against NIU. Because their zone will eat us alive if we aren't ready to play.
