OSU Blows BG Out

 OSU blew BG out last night...in a game that was literally never in question.  BG had 4 points scored with 9 minutes left in the first half.  From there, it was never interesting.  

BG shot better from 3FG (33%) though still not good.  They shot 42.5% from 2FG, which is terrible though not unusual for us...we shot that bad or worse 7 times last year.  We shot 8 FTs and made 3 and had 25% turnovers.

That all equaled .805 points per possession, BG's worst since a 2018 game at the Convo.  It is BG's third straight D1 game with offensive production below .9 points per possession.

Meanwhile, OSU scored at will.  They shot 63% on 2FG, 38% on 2FG and had 38% offensive rebounds. That was 1.235 points per possession, a number BG eclipsed only twice last season--one of them UM.

BG is just really out of sync.  Kaden Metheny did not play which made it just more difficult.  (Along with Fields and Matiss).  But, BG has guys who are just completely struggling and there doesn't seem to be much of an offensive plan when the Falcons have the ball.

Norfolk State comes to BG Friday.  This is a game they should win, but a team that will beat them if they don't get organized.
