On Monday, December 1, our Falcons (5-2) will head to Manhattan… Kansas… to take on the Kansas State Wildcats (5-2).
The game will begin at 8:00pm EST and will be available to stream on ESPN+. I don’t expect to win when we play power conference opponents, but it would be huge if we could be competitive, in our 2nd true road game of the year.
Go Falcons!

Very early NET rankings were released today and we're 111 which is good for 4th in the Mac. Kansas St is 55 and for reference Akron is top of the Mac at 42

BG is playing well through the first 10 mins but this shooting isn't likely sustainable. Moving well off the ball and punishing some switches right now. Hopefully we can turn that into more paint looks when the hot hands from three start to fade.

Up 14 at halftime.
I hate the production with the crowd noise drowned out. I know it's not full but it's college basketball i want to hear the crowd

Best half of basketball for BG this year and maybe last year too.

I honestly forgot Marcus Johnson plays for Kansas st. Only played a few minutes but I guess he's getting money instead of playing

This is his first appearance of the year, too.

Heck of a first half...fun to see an offense move and create. And we have a 20-13 advantage on the boards.
Bring it home, fellas.

These clearly aren't mac refs tonight. They're letting them play on shots

I can't watch, just following on Live Stats. Suddenly we went from even on FT to KS taking a bunch more. Is it turning into Refball? Did we get tired and handsy? Or did they get more aggressive with going to the hole?

They're getting aggressive offensively, but the disparity has more to do with them going to a 1-3-1 for a good chunk of this half so we're not forcing fouls.

How does the ref from the opposite side of the court override the baseline ref when it happened right in front of him?

We haven't found a way to attack that zone at all
