KALAMAZOO, Mich. (Interstat) β€” A surging Bowling Green Falcons squad looks to continue its climb in the Mid-American Conference standings when it visits the struggling Western Michigan Broncos on Tuesday night at University Arena. The Falcons (12-6) enter with momentum from an 85-79 home victory over Eastern Michigan last Saturday. They will lean on high-scoring guard Mayar Wol, who poured in 25 points in that win. Wol has been on a tear, averaging 24.2 points over his last five games, including a 32-point performance in a loss to Akron on Jan. 9. Western Michigan (6-10) seeks to halt a two-game skid after a narrow 85-82 home loss to Massachusetts last Tuesday. The Broncos are led by guard Justice Williams, who scored a season-high 29 points in that contest. Williams averages 17.0 points per game over his last four outings and will be a primary focus for the Falcon defense. Bowling Green has shown a potent offense, scoring 93 or more points in three of its last six games, though defensive consistency has been an issue. Alongside Wol, contributors like Javontae Campbell (18 points, 5 assists vs. EMU) and rim-protector Troy Glover (4 blocks last game) provide balance. The Broncos have struggled to find wins in conference play, with their lone MAC victory a 79-62 decision over Eastern Michigan on Jan. 10. Defense will be a key concern after allowing 85 points to UMass. This matchup begins a key stretch for both teams. Bowling Green aims to solidify its position near the top of the MAC, while Western Michigan desperately needs a conference win to build momentum before hitting the road for four of its next five games. The Falcons won last season’s lone meeting, 78-71, in Bowling Green. The teams are scheduled to meet again in Ohio on Feb. 24. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. EST Tuesday in Kalamazoo.
