Fairmont State - Kids Day
Fairmont State - Kids Day
Playing a morning game at the Stroh this morning in an arena full of kids. Out to a 12-4 lead at the first timeout. BG clearly outmatches them in all areas so this really shouldn't be close unless Fairmont St. gets really hot from deep.

Up 45-30 at halftime but are playing pretty terribly. Horrible transition defense and several missed layups. It could and should easily be a score of 50-20.

This might be our best attendance of the year. What a smart event.

Toledo will likely outdraw it, but that's very true. The Stroh looks so nice when there are people in the seats.Globetrotter wrote:This might be our best attendance of the year. What a smart event.
Attendance was 3312, and BG gets the win 88-66.
Falcons move to 3-1, and they'll take on Western Kentucky next Friday night in the U.S. Virgin Islands at the Paradise Jam tournament.

When I first saw this on the schedule and saw the time and opponent, I expected to see the kind of croud you’d get for a scrimmage. I was wrong. I tip my hat to those responsible. It turned out to be a very good idea.Globetrotter wrote:This might be our best attendance of the year. What a smart event.

I like this kind of event, because it allows a school to build its following. Get students, of any age, in there however you can, and hope they become hooked.BGSU33 wrote:When I first saw this on the schedule and saw the time and opponent, I expected to see the kind of croud you’d get for a scrimmage.

If memory serves, haven't the women's basketball team done this with some success in the past?BGSU33 wrote:When I first saw this on the schedule and saw the time and opponent, I expected to see the kind of croud you’d get for a scrimmage.

It's a nice idea.

I believe Women have done This several times , with similar crowds. Great PR for the teams and the U.
Betting that a lot of kids will “bug” mom and dad to go back again.
