Falcons Fall Short In Columbus
November 15, 2021 | Men's Basketball
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University men's basketball program came up shy in Columbus against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Tuesday night (Nov. 15). The Falcons saw three players reach double-digit scoring, paced by Chandler Turner who matched his career-high with 12 points. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to overcome a slow start by Bowling Green, being on the short end of the 89-58 final. The Falcons will now turn their attention to Norfolk State who will be visiting the Stroh Center this coming Friday (Nov. 19).

COACH'S QUOTE
"They did a really good job of using their physicality, went inside right away and established their presence on the inside. We couldn't get stops. If you can't get stops and you can't score, you're in trouble and that's what we were."
