THE STARTING FIVE (FIVE FUN & FASCINATING FALCON FACTS)
• Beginning with Saturday's Buffalo game, the Falcons will end the regular season with five contests vs. fellow MAC East Division opponents.
• Fourth-year Falcon Caterrion Thompson scored a career-high 23 points off the bench in Wednesday night's (Feb. 19) 69-55 loss at Western Michigan. It marked Thompson's sixth game of 20 or more points this season. She has scored 43 points over BG's last two games.
• Led by Thompson, the BGSU bench combined for 41 points at WMU, the Falcons' second-highest total this season and the highest against an NCAA Division-I program (53 vs. Notre Dame College on Nov. 18). Sophomore Morgan McMillen had eight points off the bench on Wednesday, while senior Clare Glowniak and freshman Olivia Trice scored five apiece.
• On Thursday (Feb. 20), junior Madisen Parker was named to the 2019-20 Academic All-District® Team, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Parker, a junior, was named to the first team. A middle childhood education major with a perfect 4.000 cumulative GPA, she is the first Falcon named to the team in five years.
• Parker has made 79 three-point field goals this year to date, and has moved into third place on the BGSU single-season list. She leads the MAC and is ranked in the top 10 in the nation in three long-distance categories.

A QUICK LOOK AT THE BULLS
• Buffalo is 13-11 overall, and the Bulls have a 4-9 record in MAC play to date. UB is looking to snap a six-game losing streak, with the most recent loss a 69-63 home setback to Akron on Wednesday evening. Four of the six losses during the current slide have been by single digits.
• UB is 7-5 at home, 4-6 on the road and 2-0 in neutral-site matchups this year to date. In MAC action, the Bulls are 2-5 in Buffalo and 2-4 in hostile venues.
• Dyaisha Fair leads the team in scoring, with 20.9 ppg, and she also leads the club in assists (4.0 apg). Theresa Onwuka has 14.6 ppg and a UB-best 7.4 rpg.
• Head coach Felisha Legette-Jack returned 11 letterwinners, including four starters, from last year's team. The 2018-19 Bulls finished with records of 24-10 overall and 12-6 in the MAC, and UB won the MAC Tournament to advance to the NCAA Championships.
THE SERIES
• The Falcons lead Buffalo, 26-16, in the all-time series, but UB has won the last two meetings, including a 65-59 verdict in this season's first matchup, in Western New York (Jan. 15, 2020). In the most recent meeting at the Stroh Center, the Falcons picked up a 78-72 victory just over a year ago (Feb. 13, 2019). BGSU is 12-6 at home, 13-10 on the road and 1-0 at neutral sites vs. UB through the years.
DOWN THE ROAD
• Following the UB matchup, the Falcons will remain at home next week. BGSU will host Ohio on Wednesday (Feb. 26), with tipoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at the Stroh. Then, the final home game of the regular season is set for next Saturday (Feb. 29), as Kent State comes to town.
• BG ends the regular-season slate with trips to Miami (March 4) and Akron (March 7), and the MAC Tournament begins with first-round games at campus sites on Monday, March 9.
