Objective review from Scores and Odds for what it is worth.

Bowling Green 3-3 in MAC E
The Bowling Green Falcons were beaten for the third time in conference play as the Central Michigan Chippewas faced hardly any trouble in an 84-75 win. The Falcons have split their last four games, going LWLW.

Rodrick Caldwell scored 16 points, Demajeo Wiggins and Dylan Frye contributed with 13 points each. Justin Turner added 12 points and Derek Koch had 11 points.

Efficiency: The Falcons have showed a propensity for offense. They have scored 79.8 points per game (57th in the country), and have allowed 78.2 points per game (306th overall).

The Northern Illinois Huskies have struggled to compete in MAC W play. They managed to split their first four games, but have subsequently slipped to two successive losses, including an 82-67 defeat to the Akron Zips.

Dante Thorpe and Eugene German managed to score 16 points apiece, while Gairges Daow scored 14 points.

Efficiency: The Huskies currently score less than they concede, which is never a good sign in basketball. They manage to put up 73.4 points per game, 194th nationally. They also score 73.9 points per game (227th).

Trends:

Bowling Green Falcons are:
4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games.
4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Northern Illinois Huskies are:
1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Mid-American.

The Falcons will use their offensive efficiency in this one to beat the struggling Huskies, who concede far too many. Take the over.

Solid first half without German. Should help during second half of season. We need James. Wiggins or whatever his name is is keeping BG in it.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn’t Geno start?

Up 20.
Really.

Another 3. Up 32.

Geno! 5-5 from downtown!

This team will drive us nuts. Just when most of us are giving up on NIU, they destroy a good team tonight. Crazy game.

Nice to inflict pain on BG.

wow...that was amazing...58 2nd half pts...22-29 from the field in 2nd half

BG not that good but James and McCarty (and even Hamilton) showed promise so hopefully we will make MAC tourn and win a game or two. Now on to the MAC west.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would guess with German it was disciplinary. Shades of Marshawn and Porter? Offense looked good with Thomas running it.

Take a look at this box score. Is this the best game MM's team has ever played? Unbelievable stats.

Take the two sentences separately. I didn’t mean Thomas playing well as a dig at German.

I’m pretty sure Geno has a good head on his shoulders. That doesn’t mean he can’t make a youthful mistake, but too soon to compare to those others

Best shooting performance by a MM team. Everything went in for a 7 minute stretch to blow it wide open. The band also brings a lot of energy to the games. Props to them and the hoops team tonight. Attendance I would estimate at 700 at most.

HuskieWire says MM said German was late to a film session last night.
