TIME TO START THE MAC
For the second straight season, the Falcons and Bulls will hook it up in the first week of December to start the MAC season. Last year, the Falcons had one of their best performances of the year in a 76-59 win at Anderson Arena. Kevin Netter had a career-high 36 points and the Falcons held Buffalo to 37% shooting.
NETTER GETTING ON TRACK
Senior Kevin Netter, a preseason All-MAC pick, has averaged 18 points and eight rebounds the last two games.
FALCONS CAPTURED FIRST TWO GAMES
BGSU was 2-0 for the first time since the 1999-2000 season after its 64-50 victory over Findlay. The Falcons won the MAC title that season.
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) and John Reimold (bruised thigh) missing Saturday's game at Bradley, it marked the 31st straight game that BGSU has had at least one projected starter miss a game due to injury and the 17th time in 20 games that at least two projected starters were unavailable.
