HOME COOKIN'
BGSU has enjoyed a great deal of success at home this year to date ... the Falcons are 8-0 at Anderson Arena this season, and BGSU has won those eight games by an average of more than 30 points (30.4, to be exact) ... the Falcons are averaging 84.4 points per game at home, having scored at least 79 points in all eight games ... BG is allowing just 54.0 ppg at "The House That Roars" this season to date.

WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE (THAT ROARS)
The Falcons will put several impressive streaks on the line in the Akron game ... BGSU has won 37 consecutive regular-season home games at "The House That Roars" ... the Falcons' last regular-season loss at Anderson Arena came vs. Western Michigan nearly three years ago; on Jan. 30, 2008 ... a few more Anderson-related notes ...

• Overall, BGSU has won 21 home games in a row, and 40 of the last 41 ... the lone loss in that stretch came to Indiana in the third round of the 2009 WNIT ... BG had won 19-straight home games before losing to IU, then beginning the current 21-game streak ... 35 of the Falcons' 40 wins in that span have come by double digits.

• The current 21-game home winning streak is tied for the sixth longest in the nation.

• In 2009-10, the Falcons posted a 13-0 home regular-season record for the second consecutive year ... BGSU has gone undefeated at home in the regular season seven times in program history ... in three of those years, including in 2008-09, the Falcons' lone blemish was a home loss suffered in national tournament play.

BEST START IN SCHOOL HISTORY
The Falcons' 14-1 record marks the best start in school history ... the 2005-06 team began the year with a 9-1 record, but lost the season's 11th game, in overtime at Kentucky ... that '05-06 club then proceeded to win the next 19 games to advance to the NCAA Championships.

WE'RE GOING STREAKING: FALCONS HAVE WON 14 IN A ROW
BGSU's 90-52 win over Miami Saturday afternoon (Jan. 8) increased the Falcons' current winning streak to 14 games ... this marks the ninth double-digit winning streak in school history, and the fifth in six seasons ... Curt Miller's teams had a double-figure win streak in each of four-straight seasons, including a school-record 25-game winning streak after an 0-2 start two years ago ... last year, BGSU did not have a win streak reach double digits, but the Brown and Orange had a pair of eight-game streaks.

FALCONS ARE STREAKY, PART II (AND III)
BGSU enters the week ranked on several national lists in terms of winning streaks ... the Falcons, as mentioned, have won 14 games in a row ... as of Monday afternoon (Jan. 10), that was the fourth-longest such streak in the country ... and, BGSU has won 21 consecutive games at Anderson Arena, deadlocked for the sixth-longest streak in the nation.

PROCHASKA EYES 2,000-POINT MARK
Senior Lauren Prochaska, 15 games into her senior season, resides in second place on the BGSU career scoring list, and is only six points away from the 2,000-point milestone ... Prochaska has a total of 1,994 points in 117 career games ... she trails only Jackie Motycka (2,122 points from 1985-89) on the BGSU list ... Prochaska is averaging 17.0 points per game, the second-highest average in BGSU annals, in her storied Falcon career.

PONTIUS ALSO RESIDES IN THE TOP 20 ON BGSU LIST
With her first basket this season (in the opener at Evansville on Nov. 12), senior Tracy Pontius surpassed the 1,000-point mark for her career ... Pontius became the 24th player to reach the milestone ... heading into the Akron game, Pontius has a total of 1,193 points as a Falcon ... over 1,000 of those points have come since the start of her sophomore season ... Pontius has moved into 18th place on the BGSU scoring list, having passed Andrea Nordmann (1,164 points) in the Butler game on Dec. 29 ... her next target is 17th-place Jacki Raterman (1,213 points).

TREY BIEN! PROCHASKA, PONTIUS AMONG BGSU'S TOP THREE
A pair of BGSU seniors sit high atop the school's three-point field-goal list ... Lauren Prochaska is the most prolific long-range shooter in BGSU history, and Tracy Pontius has moved into the top three ... entering the Akron game, Prochaska has a total of 279 three-point field goals made ... she broke the BGSU record set by Liz Honegger (216 triples from 2003-07) last season ... Pontius now has 192 career threes, ranking third at BGSU ... Prochaska has a shot at breaking the MAC career record of 323 three-pointers made, set by Ball State's Audrey McDonald.

SPEAKING OF THAT RECORD ...
As mentioned (about five seconds ago), senior Lauren Prochaska has an outside chance (no pun intended) to break the Mid-American Conference record for three-point field goals made in a career ... Prochaska hit one triple in the Miami game, moving past former Northern Illinois sharpshooter Kylie York into third place on the MAC list.
