Concerning trend for BG against MAC opponents

[BGSU33]

I was talking with a friend of mine from BG last night and we were discussion BG’s recent trend in basketball over the years. We were talking about how Kent State has really turned the series in recent years in its favor over BG, but how Kent State wasn’t the only team that seemed to have the Falcons' number in the last couple years. Looking at it closer, nearly most of the MAC has had BG’s number the last couple years. To be fair, some of the trends listed below aren’t as tilted if you stretch them out more for some and not as far for others, but most of the trends listed below coincide with our struggles the last four years. But here were some concerning trends that jumped out at me.

BG has:

Lost 7 consecutive games to WMU, including 3 consecutive games at home.
Lost 13 of last 17 games to Kent State, including 4 consecutive games at home.
Lost 9 of last 13 games to Toledo.
Lost 3 consecutive games to Akron, including last 2 games at home.
Lost 3 of the last 4 games to Miami.
Lost 5 of last 8 games to Ball State.
Lost 2 of last 3 games to Buffalo.
Lost 2 of last 3 games to Ohio.
Split 3 of the last 6 games to NIU, but has lost the last 2 games played.
Split 4 of the last 8 games to CMU.
Won 5 of last 7 against EMU, including 3 consecutive and last 2 on the road.

SAD - , but interesting.

I'm getting so used to us losing at home - that it doesn't even bother me that much!!!! It seemed that tonight against Kent State - that the first half, we beat ourselves, Kent wasn't beating us. Then the second half, every time we were starting to catch up to them - and the momentum was going our way ----- the refs would call some stupid foul on us or we would actually commit a stupid foul ( for instance Moon's foul after the missed 3 point shot). This year has been pretty disappointing.
