vs. South Carolina State (11/28)

[mbenecke]

Following the tough one in Ann Arbor, our Falcons (0-1) have their home opener on Saturday, November 28th at 12:00pm, hosting the South Carolina State Bulldogs (0-1) to open the home slate. In their last game out, SC State lost to Appalachian State, 81-61.

I look forward to this team getting into the win column this weekend. There should be plenty of W's to stack this year, and it's gotta start with this one.

Go Falcons! Beat SC State!

Fulcher is dressed and warming up today, while Matiss is still out.

Same starting 5 as last time.

[Globetrotter]

Swingle with 2!

Surprised he doesn't jump?

[Globetrotter]

I will be happy with 15 minutes from Swingle. Im convinced he will make an impact if he can stay out of fall trouble.

[Globetrotter]

Plowden already with 6 points.

Swingle needs to get in shape. He is so powerful he just will tire out all the other bigs.

Just a small run. Nothing major - looked a little like we got lazy for a second. BG back up 13-12.

[mbenecke]

I will say - they are pressing/trapping hard right now. That's a weakness of ours.

[mbenecke]

Under 12, BG leads 23-22. Trey DIigs continues his hot streak, but SC State is matching us from deep so far.

So far
Diggs 10
Plowden 6
Turner 3
Washington 2
Swingle 2

Swingle adds a pair from the line. If he's going to be efficient there, it'll be important to get him the ball inside so he can draw contact and get us some easy ones from the line.

[mbenecke]

BG has thrown on some pressure now, and Josiah Fulcher is looking like he could be a difference maker. Would've been nice to have his length in Ann Arbor the other day.

[Globetrotter]

Zeigler's minutes should go to someone else.

Fulcher with his first 2 baskets of his career. I have heard many people say he is the best player in this class.
