BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University men's basketball team closed out its non-conference schedule with a 94-80 win over the University of Tennessee at Martin on Sunday (Dec. 30) afternoon inside the Stroh Center. With the victory, BGSU moves to 7-0 at home for the first time since 2001-02.

Bowling Green improves to 8-5 overall on the season, and will enter the Mid-American Conference portion of the 2018-19 schedule on a four-game winning streak.

Bowling Green was led by a huge day from freshman guard Caleb Fields. Fields went 6-for-7 from downtown to finish with a career-high 24 points. The freshman also had a career-best four assists.

Senior forward Demajeo Wiggins posted his 10th double-double of the season, as he finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Senior guard Antwon Lillard (14) and redshirt-sophomore guard Justin Turner (12) scored in double figures for the Falcons, as well.

The Orange and Brown dished out a season-high 25 assists, as five Falcons – Dylan Frye (7), Turner (6), Wiggins (4), Fields (4) and Michael Laster (3) – collected multiple assists. Bowling Green shot 47.9 percent (35-of-73) from the floor, and made a season-high 14 triples. BGSU went 14-for-31 from downtown (45.2 percent).

COACH HUGER QUOTE
"The guys did a really good job of playing hard and playing together. Practice went well this week. Having four days off for Christmas, and just getting a chance to enjoy home and refresh and regroup … But it was time to go to work, and I thought we played extremely hard today."
