The Bowling Green women’s basketball team is set to take on the Ohio Bobcats in a Mid-American Conference matchup on Jan. 30 in Athens, Ohio. The Falcons are coming off a 57-44 MAC conference victory against Northern Illinois.
The Falcons found success shooting as they shot 45 percent from the field and 41 percent from behind the arch. The Falcons hope to continue their shooting success against Ohio.
“Ohio is good at defending ball screens,” coach Jennifer Roos said. “We will have to create mismatches along with getting penetration and kicking out.”
Jillian Halfhill looks to continue her great play from Sunday’s game against The Northern Illinois, a game in which she scored 14 points and was 2 for 3 from behind the arch.
“Jillian is playing well,” Roos said. “She is starting to become confident in her shooting and drives. She led the way on Sunday and helped produce the lead going into the half against Northern Illinois.”
The Ohio University Bobcats are coming into the game looking to avoid their fourth straight MAC conference loss and fourth straight overall loss.
Their latest defeat was suffered at the hands of Toledo, which counts for another MAC conference loss.
In the Toledo game they shot 26 three-point field goals in total and only converted seven of those attempts to put the total percentage at 26 percent for the entire game. The Bobcats are also second in the league in three point attempts.
“We have to limit their three point attempts,” Roos said. “50 percent of their shots are from behind the three point line.”
