In the first game, Daeqwon Plowden led the way with 27 points, matching his career-high. Myron Gordon and Joe Reece also hit double-digits with 13 and 12 points, respectively.

A Bowling Green Win Would …Â
Containing Kent StateÂ
Since the last meeting between Bowling Green and Kent State, the Golden Flashes have gone 2-0 with MAC wins over both Miami, 78-65, and Eastern Michigan, 90-71. This time around the Falcons will work to stop junior guard Sincere Carry. In the last meeting, Carry tallied 30 points, going 11-of-19 from the field over 37 minutes of action. Carry was joined in the double-digit scoring by VonCameron Davis (17), Andrew Garcia (13) and Malique Jacobs (11).
Second Time's The CharmÂ
The Falcons have now started the process of playing some Mid-American Conference opponents for the second time this season, which has shown positive results in the recent past for the Orange and Brown. During the 2020-21 season, BGSU went 5-2 when playing MAC opponents the second time with the two losses both being decided by five points or less. The Falcons are off to a similar start this year, besting Northern Illinois 87-65 the last time out, their first time playing an opponent for the second time this season.
Under 70
The last time out, the Falcons held Northern Illinois to just 65 points marking the first time this season BGSU has held a MAC opponent under 70 points. Bowling Green is 5-0 this season when holding their opponent under 70 points. In those five games, the Falcons have outscored their opponent by an average of 34.8 points.Â
From The FieldÂ
A key stat for the Falcons this season has been field goal percentage. When having a better field goal percentage than their opponent, Bowling Green is 11-0 this year and 88-7 during the Coach Huger Era. However, when BGSU's opponent posts a higher field goal percentage this year, the Falcons hold a record of 1-11.Â
