BG vs. Vanderbilt
By on March 20th, 2007
UPDATE:
BG leads 37-24 at the half. This place is wild right now. You wish you were here and not reading this blog. I’ll be back with stats in a few minutes.
UPDATE:
Kate Achter just made an amazing pass with three seconds on the shot clock she hit Flynn for a lay up as it was about to expire. 35-22 BG with 1:36 in the first.
UPDATE:
For the nation’s best 3-point shooting team, Vanderbilt looks a little out of touch. Flynn just kissed it off the glass for two and BG leads 31-20 with 4 to go.
UPDATE:
If BG can get some more rebounds here they’d be golden. Sherwood is not very good from the foul line. She’s officially 3-of-6. That doesn’t sound bad but that includes three in a row. Liz just hit a 3 and Sherwood gets called for three seconds. BG leads 26-16 with six minutes.
UPDATE:
BG has got to be happy right now. Amber Flynn is headed to the line and the Falcons are up 21-16 with eight minutes to go. I’m impressed with the Falcons defense. Not one single 3-pointer yet for Vandy. We’re still lovin’ those Vanderbilt dancers.
UPDATE:
Sherwood could be the toughest matchup for BG this season. She is giving them a ton of trouble in the paint. The Commodores are now centering their offense with her. They throw it right to her every time.
UPDATE:
Horne and Mann both connect. It’s 17-10 with 10:27 to go in the first. BG has got the crowd fired up and their defense is looking good. They just need to limit Sherwood’s touches.
UPDATE:
BG wants a trip to Greensboro really badly. Goldsberry just went right after a rebound against Vandy’s biggest player and drew a foul. Mann follows w/ a jumper. Liz Sherwood(the largest Commodore) follows with an easy layup. She will be tough to guard. 12-8 with 12 minutes to go.
UPDATE:
BG is smothering the perimeter and the Commodores can’t get the ball inside effectively. Another two turnovers and a foul for Vandy. Still 10-6. 13 minutes in the first.
UPDATE:
John Turner and I just decided that mascots should learn the dance team’s dance moves and join them in their routines. We also decided Vandy’s dance team is very attractive.
UPDATE:
Lindsey Goldsberry enters and gets a steal right away. Ali Mann gets a layup at the other end. 10-6 BG at the first media time out. Hey, it could happen. BG looks good on defense and their offense is fluent enough to this point.
—
BG jumps out to a quick start at 4-0, then Vandy gets an easy layup and an offensive foul. Vandy hasn’t made a jumper yet, that’s a good sign. 7-4 with 17 to go.

Game time is near
By on March 20th, 2007
It’s about five minutes to tipoff and there are not a lot of BG fans just yet. My prediction is that BG looks inferior on paper but should not be ruled out because of what’s happened so far in the women’s tourney. I see them staying close but losing by six or eight.

There’s about 16 minutes left in the MSU-Rutgers game and Rutgers is up 10. I’m surprised MSU got to play on their home court as a No. 5 seed. Doesn’t seem fair, but Rutgers doesn’t seem to care, they’re kicking Sparty’s butt all over the court.
There is not a whole lot of orange just yet, I hope to see more once this game is over.

Second half- BG vs Oklahoma State
By on March 18th, 2007
UPDATE:
Ball game. BG 70-66. This place is going crazy right now. BG just picked up its first tourney victory since the 1989 season. Congrats to the Falcons.
UPDATE:
Ali Mann just made the possible dagger. It’s 68-64 with 17 second left. BG has the ball.
UPDATE:
Big stop for the Falcons and a layup by Achter- HUGE play.
Achter is at the line for two shots after a technical on Riley.
66-60 with 52.5 to play.
UPDATE:
BG takes the lead with 1:31 to go. 62-60 and Okla. St. has the ball with a full shot-clock.
If BG plays some defense they may just come out with a big win.
UPDATE:
Liz Honegger’s coming through in the clutch she just tied it with a three. 60-60 with 2:13. I need some oxygen.UPDATE:
This game is going down to the wire. BG needs to keep the pressure up on defense if they want this one.
UPDATE:
Kate Achter just hit the second 3 of her career. BG just blew a layup though and OSU converted on the other end. 53 all with 6:45 to go.
UPDATE:
Goldsberry and Honegger just nailed 3s and it’s tied again. Goldsberry just picked up her fourth foul though. It’s 51-49 with 8:30 to go.
UPDATE:
BG is not in good shape. Their momentum is gone and they’re down 49-43 with 10 minutes left.
UPDATE:
Goldsberry just got her third foul and the Falcons’ momentum is slowly being drained. They need a stop and a bucket here. 44-41 Okla. St. with less than 12 minutes to go.
–
BG takes the lead with an 8-0 run. Honegger and Thorburn both just hit 3s and BG leads 36-35 with 17 minutes left. The arena just erupted after that last 3.
BG needs to keep up the momentum and play good defense.

It’s a dogfight- Halftime recap
By on March 18th, 2007
BG ended the half on a 16-6 run. Credit that to great defense. The offense is looking a bit frustrated though. They’re 1-of-11 from 3 and are 40 percent overall. Oklahoma State’s seven offensive boards are a cause for concern too.
BG needs to start driving more in the second half and I’m sure Curt Miller is letting them know that in the locker room right now. Thorburn and Honegger need to get going, they’re a combined 0-for-5 from the field so far.
Carin Horne leads BG with nine points and Andrea Riley leads the Cowgirls with nine as well.

BG vs. Oklahoma State
By on March 18th, 2007
UPDATE:
Stifling defense by BG. They need better shots on offense though. 32-28 at the half for OSU.
UPDATE:
BG is on a 12-2 run. Impressive defense. 28-24 Okla St.
UPDATE:
Amber Flynn as always is a huge spark for BG. She’s got six early points. 26-20 Okla. St.
UPDATE:
Goldsberry is back in with 8:16 to go. Bold move since she has two fouls. 26-18 Cowgirls.
UPDATE:
BG is in serious trouble. Oklahoma State is shooting the lights out of this building and BG has not scored in a while. It’s 26-12 Cowgirls with less than 10 to go.
UPDATE:
Oklahoma State’s cheerleaders are smoking hot. The girls at least. They get a perfect 10 from John Turner and I.
UPDATE:
BG is not really getting the benefit of the doubt on the block. Goldsberry just picked up her second foul and it’s 21-12 Okla. St.
UPDATE:
BG is now giving up baskets on the interior. It’s 15-10 Okla. St.
UPDATE:
BG is having a tough time on defense. In comes Lindsey Goldsberry to guard the perimeter. 10-8 Okla. St.
UPDATE:
Teams trade jumpers. Mann gets run over. She has to leave the game but I think it’s because they stopped the game.
–
The atmosphere is awesome right now. BG’s got its chants going already.
BG got a quick stop and Ali Mann hits a jumper. This is one fired up crowd. The Cowgirls can hit the three though. 3-2 Okla. St.

This is basically a home game

The roar here is comparable to that of Anderson Arena. Nice job BG fans.

The Bands
By on March 18th, 2007
Delaware State had a great band. I’m very impressed, it had a jungle-tpye feel to it. If only their basketball team was that good. The band got a louder ovation when they left the court then BG did when they entered- no joke.
Oklahoma State’s band is making ours look pretty bad too. They kicked off with “Rubber Band Man” by The Spinners and then played a cool version of Heartbreaker by some ’80s girl band, I can’t remember their name. Now they’re playing Boston, a band I hate, but do respect the band’s cover of “Smokin’”
This is what I do during warmups when given the forum.

Hello from the NCAA Tournament
By on March 18th, 2007
Well my first observation is that there are a ton of Falcon fans here today. There are about eight sections of various sizes that are completely filled with BG people and then your random splotches of orange here and there. The fans really came out for this one.
Right now we’re watching the Delaware State-Vanderbilt game. Vandy is up 17 with less than three minutes. BG will face them with a win today.
Michigan State’s campus is nicer than Purdue’s in my opinion. No media food yet though- just Fritos and oranges. Don’t ask me why. We have several empty bags of chips in front of us.
Vandy’s got some trees in the paint. BG will have their work cut out for them should they advance. There’s a 6′4″ player who’s built like a dumptruck. They also have two 6′3″ players.

A three-peat it is
By on March 10th, 2007
Congrats to the Falcons. They pulled it off.
Whatever strategy Curt Miller uses, it works. He does a great job motivating his players and it shows by the way they play. That is an intense group of basketball players.
A third MAC tourney title is great for this team. They never gave into the pressure.
Thanks for reading to those who did. I’d love feedback, my email is crwilso@bgsu.edu.
