The BGSU men's basketball team has teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northwest Ohio to grant the wishes of two local young men who will get to spend the week as "Guests of the Falcons" and have an all-access experience with the team which culminates with the season opener November 11 against Denison which is designated a Make-A-Wish Game.
Colin and Ryan MacRitchie of Bowling Green will join the team and will be next to Coach Dan Dakich during next Saturday's game. Tip-off is at 2 p.m. Several Make-A-Wish Families have been invited to attend the game. For ticket information contact the BGSU Athletics Ticket Office at 877-BGSUTicket.
Colin and Ryan were invited to be a part of the official team picture and will take part in the weekly media day on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the young men will join the team for its home exhibition against Capital and on Saturday will be with the team for its morning shootaround, pregame meal and the season opener at 2 p.m. against Denison.
"I had a chance to see the features that ESPN did this summer and I was very moved by them," said Dakich. "I wanted to find out how we could get involved with the program locally and were excited to have Colin and Ryan with us this week."
