BOWLING GREEN — Eastern Michigan arrived at the Stroh Center on Tuesday evening as the only team in the Mid-American Conference that had not won a league game this season, and Bowling Green made sure the Eagles left that way, too.
The Falcons again struggled shooting the ball, but scratched out a 62-59 victory to win their fifth consecutive game in Mid-American Conference play.
“It was not pretty,” Falcons coach Michael Huger said, laughing. “But we came out with the victory.”
Bowling Green (14-5, 5-1) shot 23-for-63 (36.5 percent) from the field, but leading scorer Justin Turner scored six of BG’s final eight points — including a layup that gave a lead it would not lose — to help the Falcons ward off EMU’s final charge.
