Savor the moment, BG fans: Falcons get their shot at history

CLEVELAND — Pinch yourself, Bowling Green fans.

First to make sure your heart is still beating, then to confirm you are not dreaming.

I still can’t believe what we saw in Bowling Green’s 71-67 win Friday against Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Conference semifinals, where the Falcons learned a timeless March lesson.

If something seems too good to be true for a college basketball team from northwest Ohio, it probably is.

A night after scoring a season-high 99 points in a dusting of Ball State, the Falcons came out as hot, shooting 60.7 percent in opening a 46-23 halftime lead.
