Falcons win snoozer 66-44

Ouch. That was painful. CMU shoots under 30% for the game, goes 13:30 without a FG, and makes 28 turnovers, scoring only 44 points in the game tonight. I think I lost 20 IQ points watching the game along with about 1,200 other people at AA tonight.

For its part, BG shot only 45.5%, committed 32 fouls (ridiculous), etc. Lefeld, and Marshall both fouled out, with Soler, Wright, and Robinson each getting four.

Its a win, its a conference win on a night when the MAC East beat the MAC West in every game. I'm glad to have it. Its hard to tell if we are playing good D, or if CMU is that bad. (They have something like five Canadians on the team...Canada is a huge basketball power). They also have a 7'1 kid from Port Clinton who fell down running up the court.

My sense is, we have a long way to go yet. We play a rebuilding WMU team Saturday in K-Zoo. A win there would go a ways to convincing me we're climbing out of the hole.
