BSU handled Akron so it’s a rematch of the overtime win from last week. Ball State plays tough defense and is a strong team. Will be a battle.

End of 1, tied at 18.
BG closed the quarter on a 7-2 run. Gotta continue that momentum into this next frame.

4 completely scoreless minutes to start the second quarter and we trail by 9. This is the worst possible start. Bordering on a meltdown right now. Gotta figure out how to get things back under our control.

BG roared back to tie it before Ball State added 3 late points.
Half: Ball State 34, Bowling Green 31
We're in it, but we have to find a way to finish.

Oof these refs are bad. Lexie gets bumped off the floor? Out of bounds. Brett gives the exact same contact to a cardinal and it’s a foul. Same sort of stuff over and over. Only reason bsu is in this game is the manufactured foul problems we have.
Right at the end of the half, one of the, dragged Day down on top of her and drew the foul.

Agreed the officiating has been pretty horrendous, and not in our favor at all.
Also, Lexie just can not get through a game without taking multiple hard falls or hits. I appreciate the aggressiveness but sometimes she needs to play the long game a little more.

Really strong 3rd quarter. BG found themselves up 9 at one point.
Falcons lead 50-44 after three. Gonna be a battle to the finish line.
