On a night honoring former BGSU basketball star Richaun Holmes, the Falcons competed for a 62-59 win over Eastern Michigan. Guard Justin Turner led the way for Bowling Green, collecting 25 points and seven rebounds.
It was a slower start to the match as each team went toe-to-toe sizing up the competition.
“It was not pretty, but we came out with the victory,” head coach Michael Huger said after the game.
A fierce zone defense from Eastern Michigan pushed the Falcons out to the perimeter early, where they could not find a rhythm.
