BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University men's basketball program and head coach Michael Huger announced its non-conference schedule for the upcoming 2017-18 season on Tuesday (Aug. 1) afternoon. The Falcons will play three of its first four games at home to open the season, while competing in a total of six games at the Stroh Center during the non-conference slate.
Season tickets are on sale now. Fans can purchase tickets by clicking the link above, or by visiting the ticket office at the Stroh Center. Fans can also call 877-BGSU Ticket today. For the second-straight season, season ticket prices have not changed.
"I am excited for our non-conference slate of games this season. We will face a diverse group of teams, all of which have different styles of play. This should ultimately help prepare us for MAC competition," commented head coach Michael Huger. "Our schedule includes some true road games at Drexel, Old Dominion, Norfolk State and Green Bay. This will be a welcomed challenge for our young, but very talented team. In addition, we will participate in a multi-team event at Campbell University, where we will play three games in three days.
"Our home fans will get to see us tip-off against some tough competitors in South Dakota, San Jose State and Evansville. All three teams we faced last year and are excited to have on our schedule again. There is a lot of excitement around the growth of our team, and I believe it will be an exciting year of hoops in the Stroh Center."
After an exhibition versus Capital University at the Stroh Center on Nov. 2, Bowling Green will open the 2017-18 season at Drexel on Nov. 10. Familiar foes in South Dakota (Nov. 13) and Florida Gulf Coast (Nov. 18) will play the Falcons in the Stroh following the season opener. The FGCU game will serve as the Bill Frack Challenge contest.
Bowling Green dropped a hard-fought contest at South Dakota last season, but beat FGCU on the road during Michael Huger's first season at BGSU in 2015-16.

Over Nov. 24-26, the Falcons will conclude play at the Campbell MTE with three games in Buies Creek, North Carolina. Bowling Green will take on the hosts, Campbell University, along with two other opponents.
Following the trip to North Carolina, BGSU will take on three more opponents it battled against during the 2016-17 season. The Falcons will look to avenge a devastating loss to San Jose State on Nov. 29. The Spartans visit the Stroh Center this season after beating BG on a last-second layup in 2016-17.
BGSU will then hit the road to take on Norfolk State on Dec. 2. Last season, the Orange and Brown earned an 86-77 victory over the Spartans, before Norfolk State went on to play in the MEAC title game. Evansville will come to the Stroh Center on Dec. 5. Last season, a BGSU three-pointer rimmed out at the buzzer, allowing the Purple Aces to escape with a 69-66 win in Evansville.
The Falcons will wrap up the road portion of their non-conference schedule with trips to Old Dominion (Dec. 9) and Green Bay (Dec. 21). Old Dominion went 19-12 (12-6 C-USA) a season ago, while the Phoenix beat the Falcons in Bowling Green last November.
Bowling Green will conclude its non-conference slate with a home game versus Lourdes University on Dec. 28. BGSU and Lourdes have never met on the hardwood before. Below is the Falcons' 2017-18 non-conference schedule.
