AP Game Story | Box Score
(Written February 23, 2013)
My first Bowling Green basketball game. The funny thing about that, of course, is that I was a student at Wright State at the time. This game took place during Christmas break of my sophomore year; my decision to transfer to BG was nearly final, so when I saw this game on the schedule, my friend Patrick and I hopped in the car and made the short trip down to the Nutter Center to take it in.
Perhaps not surprisingly, seeing as how it took place over sixteen years ago, I don't remember much about the game itself, other than the fact that it was dominated by Antonio Daniels, who would go on to be picked #4 in the NBA draft after graduating at the end of the season. That was my only opportunity to see Antonio play in person in college (I saw him play once in person in the NBA), so I'm glad about that. A number of guys that played for Bowling Green were still on the team next year, when I was at BG and began my passion for Falcon hoops. Of course, that was my only chance to see a BG team coached by Jim Larranaga as well, as he left after the season and Dan Dakich took over the Falcon program for the next ten years.
