What to Know
The Oakland Golden Grizzlies have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Bowling Green Falcons at 7 p.m. ET Nov. 11 at Athletics Center Orena. The Golden Grizzlies have the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.
Oakland took their game at home on Monday with ease, bagging a 92-27 win over the Defiance Yellow Jackets.
Meanwhile, Bowling Green sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 62-58 victory over the Air Force Falcons on Monday. Leon Ayers III (16 points) and Samari Curtis (14 points) were the top scorers for Bowling Green.
The wins brought both teams up to an identical 1-0. A pair of last-season stats to keep an eye on: Oakland enters the contest with only 68.6 points allowed per game on average, which is the best in college basketball. Less enviably, Bowling Green is stumbling into the matchup with the 47th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 80.3 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Bowling Green.
