Falcons Drop Season Opener Wednesday At No. 25 Michigan
November 25, 2020 | Men's Basketball
Box Score
Audio: Coach Huger With Todd Walker
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Bowling Green State University men's basketball team opened the 2020-21 season on Wednesday (Nov. 25). The Falcons were defeated by the 25th-ranked University of Michigan Wolverines, 96-82. The non-conference game was played at UM's Crisler Center.
The Falcons trailed by just seven at the half and got as close as five points in the second half. BGSU was within nine points with 8:58 left in regulation, but UM's Chaundee Brown sunk a three to push the lead back to 12 and the Wolverines led by double digits the rest of the way.
Brown, a Wake Forest transfer that was deemed immediately eligible by the NCAA, proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Brown finished with a team-high 19 points. He went 5-for-6 from deep in the second half alone to carry the Wolverines to the finish line.
Senior Trey Diggs had a similar second-half outburst, scoring all 21 of his points in the second half and doing so by going 6-for-8 from downtown over the final 20 minutes. Fifth-year senior Justin Turner led all players with 24 points, while fellow senior Daeqwon Plowden posted 15 points and a team-high 7 rebounds.
Freshman Kaden Metheny added seven points and three assists, while sophomore Davin Zeigler finished with six points and four rebounds.
