@ Ball State (1/30)

[fanatic13]

Defense is swarming in the first half. Offense looks a bit flat and not getting a lot of open looks. Most of the scoring is second chance points or off turnovers

Refs are letting them play a bit which has helped our trapping. I think refs have been fair and consistent

No beef with he refs from me. Our posts and Simon clearly disagree with how they're calling travels in the post (I think 3 travels against us? I'm behind the BG bench and can't see their feet enough to say they're wrong, but bsu has had several travels as well and they were legit.

I don't mind letting them play a bit on ticky tack hand stuff. They've been calling contact on shot attempts which is what I care about.

Our defense looks better than it has in the past MAC games. Offense would look better if most of our perimeter guys weren't struggling so much. Thomas was really off that half.

Let's close it out and make the drive home worth it

The travel on Agee before the half (announcers still think it was an offensive foul) his pivot foot slid but it was after the body contact. I didn't the see the one on the move under the basket well enough. Play looked normal on tv

Hill really is the real deal

Hill really is the real deal

Ball state continuing to not double him is insane. He's destroying them.

Is it possible to play defense for the last two minutes of a game without a foul called.. I am tired of every possession of a college game ending with a whistle…

[fanatic13]

This game won't end. Up 78-72 with 30 seconds to go

The Elam Ending is needed so badly. This game might end by Midnight

[fanatic13]

I was waiting for the football style inbounds play. I feel that gives you so much more creativity to get someone open

Ain't that the truth...

Solid road win and that's 3 MAC wins on the road already. 15-6, 6-3 MAC. Yeah, I like what I'm seeing and the Falcons showed guts bouncing back from last week.

GO BG

Good win. Bowling Green is now 1-4 in the last 5 vs. Ball St. Todd Simon is 1-0 vs. Ball St. The wind is back in the sails for the Falcons. The pressure is now off.

Niu blew their lead to cmu so we end the day in 4th by ourselves. Chance to take 3rd at home Saturday

It was a long foggy drive home but glad I made it over there. Can check another mac arena of the list. Place is too big. I will never be in board with Mac schools building 10k seat arenas. I still live our own concourses, it adds so much to the atmosphere, imo. The small crowd in the massive arena almost felt like walking through a dungeon in the empty concourses pre game.

Comparing the things we always complain about. Parking was $5 to be in a lot probably about as far away from the doors as alumni drive is from the stroh. Concessions had way more choices than we offer. BBQ, chick fil a sandwiches, brats and dogs. I think the prices were a buck or so cheaper. Grabbed a box of cardinal corn regular popcorn and caramel corn mixed, was pretty good for $5

For the game Hill was simply insane. Agee and Spurgin had good success as well. The defense as a whole moved better than they have in most of the MAC season, but I don't think BSU challenged them as much. They have some talent but didn't seem to know when you force it to the right guys.

The officiating down the stretch got crazy. BG got a huge break on what a would be double dribble by hill before he kicked it to Spurgin for that big 3. Was nice to see us close out a game and so nice to have all our timeouts for those in bounds plays. Keep rolling!

Good win on the road.

Sets up a pretty huge showdown in the Stroh on Saturday with CMU.

I didn't notice anything awry with Hill before the Spurgin dagger. And the announcers didn't say anything either. They were more commenting on the goaltending, which was not even in doubt, and the foul on the 3-pointer from Trey. And that was also clearly a foul. They were looking for contact in the body, but the defender hit his forearm and elbow on the follow through which caused the shot to fall about 3-4 feet short, clearly a foul.

I too thought that was the best defense I've seen us play all year.
