BG will be back at the Stroh on Sunday, December 7th. Game starts at 4:00pm and will stream on ESPN+.

This baby's a nail biter. 0-0 at the start, then 10-9 Falcons and goodnight. BG up at the half by 45, 71-26.

46-4 points in the paint at half. Lol.

Why are Towns and Campbell playing when up by 65?

Falcons won 131-50. 2nd most points in a game in program history. Seems like basically everyone played about 15-20 minutes in this game. Good to get some end of the bench guys involved.

Falcons are 7-3. Chicago State is next.

Was the most against Siena around 1989 or 1990?

December 4, 1989 - BG scored 136 against Siena.

+1 for knowing that.

I was at that game. My freshman year. Siena was a decent team coming into Anderson Arena. BG blew them out. BG had a good team that year. Ball Stare won the MAC that year and finished ranked. BG lost a close game to them that year at Anderson

Ball State won its first two games in the NCAA that year beating Oregon State and Louisville before losing to eventual national champs UNLV in a close one. Their games were often in the 60's or lower. Paris McCurdy was the main guy but I looked up their stats and nobody average 12 ppg. 3 players in double figures including McCurdy. They beat BG twice the last time by 44-43. Different era and the MAC was good.

I was at that game and couldn't remember who it was or what the score was.

There was this odd moment late in the game were Siena scored and I cheered like mad: because i was literally the only person in the entire place who realized it set a new Anderson Arena record for total points in a game

Those programs in the 80's full of all that info were clutch as hell.

Rick Majerus as the coach before heading off to Utah. If I recall correctly, that sweet 16 game with Ball State was the UNLV's smallest victory margin that tourney, too.

I remember that game, but couldn't attend. I was stuck in a USG session watching reps propose and pass one frivolous measure after another. I was so pissed.

The Ball State teams of the late 80s were the best I've seen in the MAC, other than the 2001 Kent team that made the Elite 8 and got shot out of making the Final Four by some readheaded dork for Indiana who shot 15 or 19 from 3.

Ball State had Chandler Thompson, who was a lot like Antonio Gates and Anthony Stacy. They got two bigtime transfers in Paris McCurdy (6-7) and Curtis Kidd (6-9). Others were Mike Spicer, Rodney Haynes, Mike Giunta, Keith Stalling, Rick Hall, Shawn Parrish, Scott Nichols, Dave Barber.

The equivalent of a bunch of high school seniors destroying some 6th graders in a pick up game, then bragging about it online. 48 hours after losing by double digits at home. The standards have never been lower.

The PR/marketing mindset has never been based on pride and principle.
