BOWLING GREEN — The Bowling Green State University women’s basketball might have lost a game Wednesday night, its extraordinary season ending with a 77-70 loss to Columbia in the semifinals of the WNIT.

But it won something even bigger the past week.

Thousands of enraptured new fans.

Now, we’ll see if the Falcons can keep ’em.

More to the point, we’ll see if they can keep coach Robyn Fralick.

If you were here — and saw, heard, and feel a rafter-rattling, sold-out crowd of 4,155 damn near bringing down the Stroh Center — you know it had the feel of the start of something special, a community discovering and wrapping its arms around a team that made it proud to the end.
