Bowling Green Falcons
The Bowling Green Falcons come into Saturday’s action having lost four games in a row. To be fair to them, they have played three of the top-four teams in the MAC during that span. But the Falcons face Ball State again here, and they will need to be better to avoid another loss to the Cardinals to seal a season sweep at their hands.
Bowling Green’s defense has given up 85 or more points in three of their four losses during their current losing streak. Their loss to Ball State was the exception, as they lost 69-60 to the Cardinals in that contest. But Bowling Green has to put together a solid performance on both offense and defense to win here, not just on one side of the floor.
Ball State Cardinals
Ball State has won four straight games coming into the weekend, taking advantage of a rather soft spot in their MAC schedule. They have beaten Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, and Bowling Green during their current streak. All four of those teams are outside of the group of elite teams in the conference, and the Cardinals will look for another win against the softer portion of their conference slate.
Ball State shot 50% from the field against Bowling Green in their previous meeting this season, holding the Falcons to just 41%. At home, there is the possibility that those percentages skew even further in Ball State’s favor, as the Cardinals will look for a more efficient offensive performance than they had last time against Bowling Green.
