Boardwalk Battle (12/20-12/21)

[mbenecke]

Bowling Green (8-2) is playing in a tournament in Atlantic City, NJ this weekend.

On Friday night at 7:00pm, we will play Norfolk State (3-9).

On Saturday afternoon at 2:00pm or 4:30pm (depending on our result,) we will play either Quinnipiac (4-4) or Drexel (5-6).

This is a tournament we should win, even without Justin Turner. I won't likely be around the follow the games (which won't seemingly be available to stream) but I figured I'd give us a spot to chat about the games regardless.

Let's get 2 wins this weekend. Go Falcons!

I really wish I could make these games because of the facility we’re playing in there. I love old school facilities and this one is certainly one of them. I hope we get two wins and that the guys appreciate getting to play in there: https://youtu.be/3qoLIlNGgKc" target="_blank

Holy cow this is a humiliating start.

[kerrywoodwins20]

5 points in 9 minutes vs one of the nation’s worst teams and one of the nation’s worst defenses.

This is getting into historical embarrassment territory.

[mbenecke]

Poor start, sure. But historical embarrassment?

It's 10-5. I hope you're joking. We're almost certainly going to get it going and win this game.

17-12.

And when is this going to happen?

“We’ll get it going eventually” has been said by every fan base of every team to ever lose to one of the worst teams in the nation.

[kerrywoodwins20]

12 points in 14 minutes.

Yikes.

[kerrywoodwins20]

24-21, still trailing one of the worst programs in American college basketball.

27-26 BG at the half

[mbenecke]

BG led 55-44 with 3:20 left, but Norfolk State has gone on an 11-0 run to close and it's tied at 55 with 7.8 seconds left. Certainly not ideal.

[mbenecke]

BG with a shot clock violation. 5.4 seconds for Norfolk State to win the game with the ball.

[kerrywoodwins20]

Holy s**t these kids are utterly pathetic

11-0 run allowed to give up the lead to the worst team in D1

[kerrywoodwins20]

Blew a 99.9% winning probability vs the worst program in America lol.....

[mbenecke]

We'll head to OT. Certainly not a great performance tonight, but I think it shows something that this team can go to OT while playing their D-game.

For the record, there are 50ish worse teams than this nationally, according to kenpom. Not a good opponent, but I'm not going to overreact to our team sleepwalking in a neutral site holiday tournament in an empty gym.

Regardless, let's get a win here, please.

Grabbed the 58-55 lead in overtime but the gutless kids choked that lead fast, down 60-58 to the worst team in America now
