KALAMAZOO, Mich. — If Thursday’s game against Akron was not a must-win, then Saturday’s at Western Michigan certainly became one.
Bowling Green State University played what was described as an “embarrassing” game against the Zips, and needed to reverse course in order to keep its head above water in the Mid-American Conference standings.
Daeqwon Plowden gave the one-word “embarrassing” descriptor after Thursday’s game, in a head-hanging effort from the Falcons which placed the orange and brown in 11th place in the MAC.
Plowden had nothing to be embarrassed about on Saturday.
The All-MAC forward willed Bowling Green with grit and grind late, and scored a game-high 23 points in carrying the Falcons to an 82-75 win over the Broncos at University Arena.
