FALCONS CONCLUDE TWO-GAME ALABAMA SWING
The BGSU men's basketball team will conclude a two-game road trip to Alabama when it visits Troy on Monday night. BGSU is coming off a 71-60 loss to Florida State at the Coors Classic at Mobile on Saturday. Troy will play at BGSU next season.
The Falcons overcame a 12-0 deficit and led by as many as three points in the second half before outscoring the Falcons 20-11 in the final nine minutes of the game.
COORS CLASSIC RECORDS
The Falcons set a Coors Classic Record by making 12 three-pointers and attempting 31 long distance calls against the Seminoles. Junior Martin Samarco was named Game MVP after scoring a classic record 27 points. He also established event marks for three-point field goals made (7) and attempted (12). He had 19 of his points in the first half.
FALCONS ON THE ROAD
Monday's game with Troy will be the last of four straight games away from home in December. The Falcons played at Bradley (Dec. 3), at Arkansas-Little Rock (Dec. 10) and against FSU in Mobile on Saturday.. BGSU returns home to play Notre Dame (Ohio) on December 29.
DAKICH ON INDIANA SILVER ANNIVERSARY TEAM
BGSU Coach Dan Dakich will be one of 16 former players chosen for the 2006 Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame High School Silver Anniversary team which will be recognized before the State Final Tournament in Indianapolis. He played at Andrean High School in Merrillville.
LEFELD MAY BE MAC'S MOST IMPROVED PLAYER
Last year, junior Matt Lefeld scored just 14 points all season, but equaled that in his first game this year against Western Carolina... he is coming off his first-ever back-to-back double digit scoring efforts with 10 points against FSU... he had a career-high 17-point effort against UALR and is averaging 9.1 points and a team-high 5.0 rebounds.
