SO IS THERE ANYTHING ON THE LINE SATURDAY?
The Falcons, as mentioned, sit atop the MAC's East Division ... BGSU is a game ahead of Kent State with two games to play ... a Falcon win would clinch the East Division title, giving BG six-straight divisional titles (one West, five East) ... a KSU win, however, would put the teams in a tie at the top heading into the final game of the regular season ... additionally, a KSU win would give the Golden Flashes the tiebreaker over the Falcons ... in such a scenario, the teams would have split their two games (head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker) ... the second tiebreaker is record vs. other MAC teams, starting at the top of the standings ... KSU would win that tiebreaker by virtue of a victory over Toledo ... BG lost to UT in the teams' lone regular-season meeting.

THANKS, SENIORS
There's a lot going on at Anderson Arena Saturday, not the least of which is the Falcons' "Senior Day" festivities ... BGSU's four seniors – Tara Breske, Laura Bugher, Sarah Clapper and Tamika Nurse – will be recognized in ceremonies prior to the game ... heading into Saturday, the three fourth-year seniors have helped the Falcons to an overall record of 108-23 (tied for the second-most wins in a four-year span in school history) and a MAC regular-season mark of 55-7 ... Nurse is in her first playing season with the Brown and Orange after transferring from the University of Oregon.

HOOPS FOR HAITI
BGSU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will host "Hoops for Haiti" on Saturday (Feb. 27) during the basketball doubleheader at Anderson ... fans will be able to help in the relief efforts in three ways ...

• $2 from each ticket sold over the phone (877-BGSU TICKET) or in person at the BGSU Athletic Ticket Office will be donated to the Haiti relief efforts.

• SAAC representatives will be on hand to collect non-perishable goods that can be shipped directly to Haiti as part of the relief effort ... specific items that are needed include bagged rice, dried beans, and first-aid kits ... canned food items are NOT currently needed.

• A commemorative "Hoops for Haiti" T-shirt, available exclusively through the BGSU Bookstore, will be worn by BGSU's basketball teams during warm-ups and will be for sale at Anderson Arena and online at BGSUFalcons.com ... proceeds from the T-shirt sales will go directly to the Haiti relief efforts.

BGSU is working directly with two non-profit organizations in this effort, the American Red Cross and ISOH/IMPACT ... donations and products will be funneled through these groups and directed to their respective Haiti relief efforts.

FALCONS CLINCH FIRST-ROUND BYE
Wednesday's (Feb. 24) 81-64 win at Buffalo enabled the Falcons to clinch a first-round bye for the MAC Tournament ... the Falcons' win, combined with other midweek outcomes around the league, means that BGSU will be no lower than the third seed for the tournament ... the top-four teams in the final standings will earn a bye and advance to the league tourney's quarterfinal round on Wednesday, March 10 ... the remaining eight teams will play first-round games at campus sites on Saturday, March 6, with the four winners advancing to join the top-four seeds at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena.

IF THE SEASON ENDED TODAY ...
If the MAC Tournament began on Saturday, the Falcons would be the number-one seed, and would have a first-round bye ... BGSU would play a quarterfinal-round game against the winner of the #9 Northern Illinois-at-#8 Ball State game ... beginning this year, the MAC women's basketball tournament seeding mirrors the men's basketball procedure ... the two divisional champions earn the top-two seeds, and the remaining teams are seeded #3 through #12, regardless of division.
Current MAC Tournament seeding: 1 - Bowling Green (12-2); 2 - Toledo (11-3); 3 - Kent State (11-3); 4 - Akron (9-5); 5 - Eastern Michigan (9-5); 6 - Central Michigan (8-6); 7 - Miami (6-8); 8 - Ball State (6-8); 9 - Northern Illinois (4-10); 10 - Ohio (3-11); 11 - Buffalo (3-11); 12 - Western Michigan (2-12).

MILLER BECOMES FASTEST MAC COACH TO 200 WINS
BGSU's 66-56 win at Akron last Saturday (Feb. 20) was Falcon head coach Curt Miller's 200th win ... Miller, now 201-79 at the BGSU helm, became the fastest coach to 200 wins in MAC women's basketball history ... he is third on the MAC list for overall career wins, and trails only Kent State's Bob Lindsay and former Toledo coach Mark Ehlen on the list ... Miller reached the 200-win mark in his 279th career game... the lists of winningest MAC women's basketball coaches can be found in the PDF version of these notes.

MILLER. ANDERSON. THAT'S IT; THAT'S THE LIST.
Curt Miller, who became the winningest coach in Falcon women's basketball history two years ago, has become only the second basketball coach at Bowling Green (men's or women's) to reach the 200-win mark ... the legendary Harold Anderson had a 367-193 (.655) record in 21 years at the helm of the BGSU men's program.

MILLER HOLDS THIS RECORD, TOO
BGSU's Curt Miller is believed to be the fastest basketball coach – in MAC men's or women's basketball annals – to 200 wins ... since the inception of the MAC, a total of six men's coaches have amassed 200 career wins at one or more conference institutions ... that list includes Bob Nichols (Toledo), James Snyder (Ohio), Charlie Coles (Central Michigan and Miami), Darrell Hedric (Miami), Larry Hunter (Ohio) and Stan Joplin (Toledo) ... none of those six coaches are believed to have reached 200 wins faster than Miller.

MILLER ALREADY HAD REACHED 100 MAC WINS ...
BGSU's 83-71 win over Eastern Michigan, back on Jan. 23, was the 100th MAC victory in Falcon head coach Curt Miller's career ... entering the KSU game, Miller now has a career record of 106-36 in conference games as a head coach ... Miller became just the seventh coach in MAC history – and the second fastest – to amass 100 league victories.

... AND HOLDS YET ANOTHER RECORD
Add yet another record to the long list for Falcon head coach Curt Miller ... Miller has the most MAC wins of any BGSU basketball coach, men's or women's ... as mentioned in the previous note, he enters the KSU game with 106 conference victories ... Jim Larranaga, who coached the BG men from 1986-97, posted a total of 102 MAC wins ... Larranaga is now the head men's coach at George Mason University (in case you weren't watching the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in 2006).

HOME COOKIN'
BGSU's 73-57 win over Ohio (Feb. 13) gives the Falcons a 12-0 record at venerable Anderson Arena this season to date ... BGSU has won 29 consecutive regular-season games at "The House That Roars" ... the last regular-season home loss for the Falcons came to Western Michigan, as the Broncos captured a 79-73 decision two years ago (Jan. 30, 2008).

HOME COOKIN' II
In addition to the regular-season wins noted above, the Falcons have played three national postseason games at Anderson Arena in the last two years ... those games include wins over Dayton in the 2008 WNIT and Syracuse in the '09 WNIT ... overall, BGSU has won 31 of the last 32 games at "The House That Roars" ... 26 of those 31 wins have come by double digits ... the lone loss in that time came to Indiana in the third round of last year's WNIT.

WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE (THAT ROARS)
BGSU is 43-4 in MAC home games over the last five-plus seasons ... since the start of the 2004-05 season, the Falcons have gone a perfect 8-0 in MAC home games on two occasions, with a pair of 7-1 records and one 6-2 mark ... the Falcons are 7-0 in MAC games at Anderson Arena this year to date.

PROCHASKA MOVES INTO FOURTH ON BGSU SCORING LIST
Junior Lauren Prochaska has moved into fourth place on the BGSU career scoring list, and now has a total of 1,582 points ... she passed Francine Miller, who had 1,574 points from 1998-2003, in the Akron game, and moved ahead of Kate Achter (1,580 points from 2004-08) in the Buffalo contest ... Prochaska's next target is third-place Sara Puthoff (1,678 points from 1994-98) ... Prochaska is averaging 16.5 points per game, the second-highest average in BGSU annals, in her storied Falcon career.

TREY BIEN! PROCHASKA IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST
Junior Lauren Prochaska has become the most prolific three-point field-goal shooter in BGSU history ... she broke Liz Honegger's record early in the Central Michigan game (Feb. 10) ... entering the KSU game, Prochaska now has a total of 224 three-point field goals made ... Honegger made 216 triples from 2003-07 ... Tracy Pontius, in just her second year as a starter, has moved into eighth place on the list, with 144 threes in her career.

PROCHASKA MOVING UP THE SINGLE-SEASON LIST, TOO
Junior Lauren Prochaska has displayed a level of three-point consistency that is perhaps unmatched in BGSU history ... Prochaska has made a total of 75 treys this season, and is just three shy of the school record (78, Angie Farmer in 1999-2000) ... Prochaska is the only player in BG history to make more than 70 triples in a season three times ... in fact, she has three of the five such seasons in school annals (Farmer and Tracy Pontius have made 70 threes in a season once each) ... the MAC record is 96 three-pointers made, by Toledo's Kelly Savage in 1988-89.

LAST TIME OUT
Senior Tamika Nurse and junior Jen Uhl scored 20 points apiece as BGSU posted an 81-64 win at Buffalo Wednesday night (Feb. 24) ... with the win, the Falcons clinched a first-round bye for the MAC Tournament ... BGSU went 12-of-24 from three-point range in the game, with Nurse hitting four treys and senior Sarah Clapper a career-high three ... Clapper had a season-high nine points ... Uhl had a pair of triples, and was 8-of-11 from the field on the night ... she also led the Brown and Orange with eight rebounds as the Falcons held a 36-34 advantage on the boards ... Kourtney Brown led the Bulls with 20 points and a game-high 11 rebounds ... the Falcons led from wire to wire, scoring the first eight points of the game ... the lead stayed in single digits until a Clapper three gave BG a 26-16 advantage at the 7:39 mark ... sophomore Jessica Slagle followed with a triple, and a Nurse trey would give the Falcons a 32-17 lead several minutes later ... the Bulls scored eight of the next 10 points to cut BG's lead to single digits, and UB got within seven points before junior Tracy Pontius hit a shot from approximately 40 feet out at the halftime buzzer ... in the second half, junior Maggie Hennegan's three-point play was followed by a driving layup from Nurse, giving the Falcons a 16-point lead, 55-39 ... the Bulls crept back to within nine points, before back-to-back threes by Clapper gave BG a 70-55 lead with under eight minutes left, and the margin never fell below 15 points the rest of the night.
