The Falcons trailed by . . .
LATE MOUNTAINEER RALLY
Appalachian State closed the game on a 14-2 run to knot the score, but BGSU forced a pair of contested three-point attempts from ASU on the final possession of regulation. The defensive stop allowed the Falcons to win the game in the extra session.
FALCONS MOVE BACK IN FRONT
The Mountaineers scored first in OT, but a long triple from freshman guard Kaden Metheny gave the Falcons a 72-71 advantage with 3:46 left in overtime. BGSU would lead for the rest of overtime, ultimately getting a step-back three-pointer from junior Caleb Fields with 8.3 seconds left on the clock to push the BGSU lead to four points. Appalachian State put up a desperation half-court heave at the buzzer for the win, but it did not drop.
The Falcons were led by fifth-year senior Justin Turner's star performance. The Detroit native finished with 25 points, four steals, three rebounds and three assists. Fields, along with seniors Trey Diggs and Daeqwon Plowden, each scored 10 points for Bowling Green.
