If spectators are unable to wear face coverings, they are encouraged not to attend games in-person for the sake of their health and the health of others.
A Bowling Green Win Would …Â
Going Against The Golden GrizzliesÂ
Oakland will enter the game against the Falcons with a five-game win streak. The Golden Grizzlies have just two losses on the season, coming against Alabama and West Virginia. Of the five consecutive wins for Oakland, four have been by eight points or less and three have been by four points or less. Oakland also tallied a one-point victory over Oklahoma State earlier this season. Individually, the Golden Grizzlies are led by Jamal Cain who is averaging a double-double with 21.2 points and 10.7 rebounds per game.Â
For Free!Â
Bowling Green has been taking advantage of the free throw line so far this season. As of Sunday (Dec. 5), the Falcons ranked 48th in the nation for free throw percentage, working at a 75.9% clip from the line. Individually, Daeqwon Plowden has been among the best in the nation from the stripe. As of Sunday, Plowden was 17th in the nation for free throws made (42) as well as 24th for free throws attempted (53).Â
The Most Wonderful Time Of The YearÂ
Bowling Green will play a total of five games in December four of which will be at home in the Stroh Center. During the Coach Huger Era, now in its seventh season, the Orange and Brown have performed the best during the month of December. When playing during the calendar's 12th month, Huger's Falcons are 22-12 for a .647 win percentage, the best winning percentage of any month during Huger's tenure.Â
