Falcons Hoops Schedule Released

So here begins the story of Louis Orr at Bowling Green, as the new coach begins his quest to rebuild the Falcon program. The first challenge is scheduling...always a challenge in the MAC and with our small arena. Last year, Coach Dakich's schedule received some criticism for being way too easy...I actually like this year's schedule. Here is why:

• Temple is playing in AA. I know it isn't the Temple from before, but it is still Temple, a big name opponent that should draw, playing in our place. It is thanksgiving weekend, sadly, but we will be there.
• Two A-10 teams--Temple and Duquesne.
• While not huge name teams, Morehead State (bracket buster rerun), Illinois State and Eastern Illinois are two good programs for us to be competing with in our gym.
• Likewise, the Furman and N. Colorado trips are nice road trips.
• There are four home games prior to the start of the conference season. Nice balance.
• As I see it, no D-2 teams on the schedule.
