Saturday, Dec. 19 at Morehead State, 12:00 pm | ESPN+ | Radio | Live Stats | @BGSUwbb
The Falcons return to the road this weekend, heading to Morehead, Ky., for the final non-conference game of the 2020-21 schedule. BGSU takes on Morehead State in a 12:00 p.m. start. The Falcons got off to a 4-0 start for the first time in seven years with Friday's 71-64 win over Eastern Michigan in the Mid-American Conference opener, as freshman Lexi Fleming scored over 20 points for the third time in as many home games. On Sunday afternoon, the Falcons fell for the first time this season, dropping a 79-73 decision on the road at Purdue. BG fell behind by 12 points early, and the Falcons trailed by as many as 15 in the third quarter before rallying nearly all the way back. The Brown and Orange got within two points on several occasions, but couldn't quite get over the hump. Following Saturday's MSU game, the Falcons will return to MAC play next week, hosting Miami on Tuesday, Dec. 22, in the team's final contest of 2020.
