NOTE OF THE DAY
Through the years, BGSU rosters typically have been stocked with players who can hit from long range. No fewer than 12 different players made at least one three-point field goal last season. And, after Jane Uecker went a perfect 2-for-2 from long range vs. Malone, a total of 10 Falcons have hit at least one triple this season to date.
A TRADITION OF SUCCESS
Bowling Green has won 14 MAC regular-season championships and 11 league tournament titles, the highest totals among all conference teams. Prior to the injury-plagued season of 2014-15, the Falcons had won at least 20 games in a MAC-record 11 consecutive seasons. BG won at least 24 games in nine-straight seasons during that span, losing just 18 total games in MAC regular-season play during those nine years.
The Falcons made 10 consecutive national postseason trips from 2005-14, with five NCAA Championships appearances and five trips to the WNIT during that time. The 2006-07 team was the most successful in MAC history, winning a league-record 31 games en route to an NCAA 'Sweet Sixteen' appearance.
Overall, BGSU has won 20 or more games 19 times, the highest total among all Mid-American Conference women's basketball-playing institutions.
SCOUTING OHIO
Ohio enters Saturday's MAC opener with an overall record of 9-2. The Bobcats are a perfect 6-0 at home and 3-2 on the road this season to date. Ohio's only losses have come against Michigan and North Carolina A&T, with the latter being a 63-57 setback in the final non-conference game Wednesday afternoon (Dec. 28). Senior guard Quiera Lampkins leads the team in scoring, with 19.7 points per game, and she also has 7.7 rebounds per contest. Senior forward Jasmine Weatherspoon has 9.5 ppg and a team-leading 8.5 rpg, and paces the Bobcats with 1.7 blocked shots as well. Six other Bobcats are averaging at least 5.9 ppg. Head coach Bob Boldon welcomed back nine letterwinners, including three starters, from last year's team. The 2015-16 edition of the Bobcats went 26-7 overall, won the MAC's regular-season title with a 16-2 league ledger, and advanced to the WNIT.
THE SERIES
The Falcons lead Ohio, 55-25, in the all-time series between the teams, but the Bobcats have won each of the last four meetings after BG had taken the previous four games. Last year, the Bobcats picked up a 72-57 win at the Stroh Center (Jan. 9, 2016), then pulled away late for a 75-58 win in Athens (March 2, 2016). BG led the latter game until the final seconds of the third quarter. BGSU's last win over the 'Cats was a 63-39 victory on March 2, 2014. BG is 31-7 in home games (3-2 in the Stroh Center), 21-16 in road contests and 3-2 in neutral-site games vs. the Bobcats over the years. Jennifer Roos is 4-4 against Ohio as a collegiate head coach.
UP NEXT
Following the Ohio game, the Falcons will conclude a season-long four-game home swing by facing Northern Illinois on Wednesday night (Jan. 4), with tipoff set for 7:00 p.m. at the Stroh. Then, BG will hit the road to face Akron (Jan. 7) and Western Michigan (Jan. 11), before returning home for the following three contests, beginning Jan. 14 against Central Michigan.
