HOME TEAM HAS WON THE LAST TWO MEETINGS
The Falcons and Titans will meet for the third straight season. Last year, Detroit captured a 75-61 victory in the season opener at Calihan Hall, while the Falcons won, 77-60, in Anderson Arena in December, 2001.
FALCONS LOOKING TO GET HEALTHY
When the Falcons went 24-9 in the 2001-02 season, not one player missed a single minute due to injury. With Germain Fitch (knee) missing Saturday's game against Michigan, it marked the 35th straight game that BGSU has had at least one projected starter miss a game due to injury At IPFW, Joshn Reimold also missed making it the 20th time in 23 games that at least two projected starters were unavailable. Reimold saw limited action at Michigan and could see more playing time against Detroit.
FALCONS HIT THE ROAD
The Falcons are in a stretch where they are playing seven of nine away from Anderson Arena. After hosting Detroit, the Falcons will play in the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu on December 28-30. BGSU will play Fairfield in the first round of the event on December 28.
