Bowling Green reasoned that if it was going to earn a series sweep against Buffalo, it would have to beat the Bulls at their own game.
So the Falcons got on the boards — and got out the brooms.
Bowling Green used offensive rebounding and another sublime performance from Justin Turner to defeat Buffalo 76-69 on Friday at Alumni Arena, winning the road game after defeating Buffalo at home earlier this season.
Buffalo came into the game ranked third in the country in total rebounds, yet it was BG that dominated the glass, piling up 26 offensive rebounds that turned into 24 second-chance points — giving the Falcons possession after possession and regular trips to the free-throw line.
