vs. Kent State (2/10)

[mbenecke]

Went ahead 72-70.

Got a stop but gave up the offensive rebound (yet again - a real issue tonight) and now Kent has a chance to win, with the ball and 2.5 seconds left coming out of the timeout.

[mbenecke]

To overtime we go, tied at 72.

Rebounding has been an Achilles heel tonight, big reason why it went to OT.

[mbenecke]

BG leads 78-77 with 48 seconds to go in OT, with the ball and 25 on the shot clock. I think I'd like to see us go somewhat quick here and go 2 for 1, to make sure we get the ball back after this possession.

Layup didn't fall, Kent gets the rebound.

78-77, Falcons lead. 27.5 seconds to play in OT, Kent ball with 22 on the shot clock.

If we get a stop, it must be paired with a rebound (and perhaps some clutch free throw shooting).

[mbenecke]

Kent State (with a bit of a reach around that goes uncalled) takes the lead on a layup with 10.7 seconds to play.

We need someone to step up and deliver here.

[mbenecke]

Fleming misses a go-ahead floater, but an Angela Perry putback gives us an 80-79 lead with 2 seconds to play.

Timeout, Kent.

[mbenecke]

FALCONS WIN, 80-79!

Fleming and Hampton lead the way with 15 each. Hempfling pitched in 12, and Parker added 11.

Great, great team win on the road. This team is legit, folks.

[FalconRollAlong]

No foul!! Great defensive play to end the game. Falcons win it by a point over the zappers.

It's so nice to see a program building back up the way it's supposed to. Last year had me wondering about the coach (just a bit; I was still hopeful she was the right pick), but I think she's all but allayed those fears with this season to date. There is a lot of young talent on this team, much to the chagrin of every other MAC program, I'm sure.

Starting 3 Freshmen most of season...but using vets wisely has made this a successful season so far. There is a lot of talent from underclass group. Only weakness I see seems to be in rebounding, possibly due to a lack of overall size?
