Monarchs Put Falcons in Pit of Misery
Ouch. There's not much of a way to make that any better. ODU, a high-quality veteran team took a very young Falcon team to school last night in Norfolk.
The final score, 88-46, was exactly indicative of the game that occurred.
It was BG's worst defeat since 2008 (the first Orr year), when they lost to a Buffalo team that ended up with only 3 MAC wins on the year. Their .65 points per possession is the worst since that 45-36 game against NIU in 2014.
It was 29-21 with 4 minutes left in the first half. In 24 minutes, they outscored BG 59-25.
The stats are what you would expect in a game with this kind of margin.
Justin Turner had 17 points on 7 of 13 shooting, but beyond that everyone pretty much struggled equally.
A couple notes. Derek Koch did not play due to injury. If there has been anything on his prognosis, I have not seen or heard it.
BG now has a long break for finals, which are next week. BG's next game is December 21 at Green Bay. I'm sure they'd rather jump back onto the horse. Anyway, not much more to say about this one.

The team is young, I get that. They have been fun against weak competition this year, and raise expectations for the future.
HOWEVER, this type of game will be completely UNACCEPTABLE next year and beyond for Coach Huger and his team!
I am shocked, shocked to learn BG is allowed to lose games! This is not acceptable this year, and I fully expect the coaches the fix the games they lost last years as well!
