Florida takeaways: Bowling Green still learning to play 40 complete minutes of basketball

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Wednesday’s championship game in the Fort Myers Tip-Off was another eye opener for Bowling Green State University.

The Falcons took care of Milwaukee in the Palms Division semifinal on Tuesday, but lost to Southern Utah on Wednesday in the championship game. The first 20 minutes of Wednesday’s game were solid, and the Falcons displayed the same fire in the first half as they did on Tuesday, but the Thunderbirds brought just a little more and pulled away in the second half in defeating BGSU 87-73 at the Suncoast Credit Union Arena.

BGSU returns to northwest Ohio for a contest against Chicago State at 2 p.
