Bowling Green Falcons @ Minnesota Golden Gophers
Game two brings Bowling Green of the MAC into Williams Arena for the second game of the NABC Classic's round robin.Tip is tentative for 8 p.m. central time. Free streaming video is available here.
On BGSU. ...The BGSU Falcons returned every player from last year's team that went 13-17 and found itself in the middle of the pack in the MAC. Point guard Joe Jakubowski led the Falcons Friday night with 24 points against Georgia State. Guard Brian Moten and forward Erik Marschall had 19 and 17 respectively last night.
According to ESPN Insider, BGSU coach Louis Orr (in his second year) brings a defensive mindset.
More from last night. ... The Minnesota Daiily says Al Nolen was the leader Friday night.
Other reading. .... Our friends at Hoopraker announce they too have love for Damian Johnson.
Breathe. .... If you thought last night was ugly, it really wasn't. Calm down. You could be a Kentucky fan who watched your team lose to the VMI Keydets on opening night.
Keys for tonight:
- Finding an offensive identity. If the Gophers don't score on the fast break and get easy baskets, this could be close.
- Turnovers. Nolen and Devoe Joseph need to protect the ball.
- Shot selection: Quick shots are fine if they are good shots. Bostick and Carter need to let the game come to them.
- Rebounding! We got away with small ball against Concordia. We won't against most teams. Ralph Sampson III and Colt Iverson need to play minutes and contribute on the boards.

I've always been a basketball guy.
Until college football realizes that they need a playoff, I’m bored. I’m not excited by bowl games whether they be the Motor City Bowl or the Outback Bowl.

RSIII has looked more active.
Also good to see Joseph hit a three—-it was when he and Nolen were on the floor together I think.

They are getting a lot of second and third chances...
Because we are going for many successful blocks versus getting a body on somebody. I don’t know if that is a positive or a negative.

We have only one on the floor at a time. ...
We need Johnson and Williams back to help on the boards.

I voted for him...
…this year because I am abroad I voted absentee from my parents district, which is the very Southern part of District 8, Chisago County. Though I haven’t lived there in years. You should feature him on the blog!
Plus Oberstar is a great name.

I was enjoying this game much more when we were up 20.
7 points with 7 minutes left is a little scary.

That one looked ugly
Kind of glad I missed that one, as I had to work tonight. Hopefully they’ll bounce back tomorrow when I’ll be back in attendance.
