The BGSU men’s basketball team went on the road to defeat the Akron Zips 83-71 on Friday night.

Bowling Green wins its fourth consecutive game; All four came on the road. The Falcons move to 14-9 on the season and 10-7 in the MAC. While the Akron Zips fall to 14-6 and 12-5 in the MAC.

Freshman point guard Kaden Metheny continued his hot streak as he finished with 15 points and five assists.

The first half was a back and forth game as we saw eight lead changes, but the story of the half was the production from redshirt sophomore Dylan Swingle. He gave the Falcons a big boost on the offensive end, scoring nine points on 4 of 4 shooting.  As well as Kaden Metheny scoring 9 out of the first 14 points for BG.

Despite Justin Turner only scoring four points in the first half, BGSU found themselves up by one at the half 38-37.

Early in the second half we saw two more lead changes, but at the 16:50 mark in the half BG took the lead and didn’t look back.
