The Falcons enter having won 10 of their last 11 games, including four of the last five on the road. The matchup will feature two of the top defenses in the MAC. BGSU is holding opponents to 69.0 points per game (2nd in the MAC) and 42.4% from the field (1st). Miami is holding opponents to 70.6 points per game (4th) and 44.1% from the field (4th).
A Bowling Green Win Would…
Scouting The RedHawksÂ
Miami (OH) enters the game on the heels of back-to-back MAC wins, topping both Buffalo (86-65) and Eastern Michigan (71-54) to move to 2-2 in the MAC after losses to Western Michigan (83-74) and Toledo (68-64). Through four MAC games, Miami has been one of the more efficient teams in the MAC, shooting 49.1% from the field, second in conference play. As for the season, they are shooting 46.9%, third in the conference. They've translated that to defense as well, holding opponents to a mark of 25.3% from behind the arc during the four MAC games and 28.5% on the season overall.Â
BGSU v. Miami (OH), A HistoryÂ
Bowling Green and Miami (OH) will be meeting for the 151st time in program history. The RedHawks hold the all-time advantage with a record of 90-60, including being 51-19 when hosting the Falcons. Of late, the series has been back-and-forth with the home team winning each of the last four meetings. As for BGSU, their last win in Oxford came on Jan. 16, 2018 with an 81-70 final at Millett Hall.Â
Agee Continues Strong StretchÂ
In each of the last eight games, and 10 of the last 11, Rashaun Agee has led BGSU in either points, rebounds or assists. During the 11-game span, Agee has led BGSU in rebounds eight times, points twice and assists twice. During that time, he's averaging 13.0 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Agee has also recorded five double-doubles over the last 11 games and has finished three games with nine rebounds as well.Â
Turning Defense Into OffenseÂ
Over the season as a whole, the Falcons have posted one of the best defenses in the MAC. BGSU has held opponents to a mark of 42.4% from the field, first in the MAC, as well as 69.0 points per game, second in the MAC. However, in the conference play the focus has shifted to offense. Through four MAC games, the Falcons have the second-highest scoring offense in the conference, averaging 81.3 points per game.Â
70-Point ThresholdÂ
Through the 16 games this season, BGSU has tallied 70 or more points in 11 games. In those 11 contests, the Falcons are an undefeated 11-0. However, when they fall short of the 70-point mark, BGSU is 1-4. Similarly on the defensive side, when the Falcons hold opponents below the 70-point mark the team is 7-0 this season.
