A TRADITION OF SUCCESS
>> Bowling Green has won 14 MAC regular-season championships and 11 league tournament titles, the highest totals among all conference teams. Prior to the injury-plagued season of 2014-15, the Falcons had won at least 20 games in a MAC-record 11 consecutive seasons. BG won at least 24 games in nine-straight seasons during that span, losing just 18 total games in MAC regular-season play during those nine years.
>> The Falcons made 10 consecutive national postseason trips from 2005-14, with five NCAA Championships appearances and five trips to the WNIT during that time. The 2006-07 team was the most successful in MAC history, winning a league-record 31 games en route to an NCAA 'Sweet Sixteen' appearance.
>> Overall, BGSU has won 20 or more games 19 times, the highest total among all Mid-American Conference women's basketball-playing institutions.
SCOUTING MU
Miami is 9-17 on the season, and the RedHawks are 3-10 in MAC play. MU posted back-to-back wins over Akron and Eastern Michigan last week, before suffering a narrow home loss to Northern Illinois, 63-61, on Wednesday night. MU is 4-8 at home, 3-7 on the road and 2-2 in neutral-site games this season. In MAC play, the RedHawks have gone 2-5 at home and 1-5 on the road. Lauren Dickerson leads the team with 15.0 points per game, while five of her teammates are averaging between 6.0 and 8.1 ppg. Kendall McCoy has a team-leading 5.4 rebounds per game, and is one of seven RedHawks to have started at least 13 games this season to date. Head coach Cleve Wright welcomed back nine letterwinners, including four starters, from a RedHawk team that went 9-21 overall and 3-15 in the MAC a year ago.
THE SERIES
The Falcons lead Miami, 50-28, in the all-time series between the teams, and BG captured both of last year's meetings, including a 64-58 win in Oxford (Jan. 2, 2016) and a 76-56 victory at the Stroh Center on Senior Day (Feb. 27, 2016). BG is 24-12 in home games (4-1 in the Stroh), 20-15 in road contests and 6-1 in neutral-site games vs. the Redskins/RedHawks over the years. Jennifer Roos is 5-3 against Miami as a collegiate head coach.
UP NEXT
Following the MU matchup, the Falcons will return home to face Kent State on Wednesday night (Feb. 22), with tipoff at 7:00 p.m. at the Stroh Center. It will be the Falcons' annual Play4Kay game, with fans encouraged to wear pink to the game in support of breast cancer awareness.
