The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team (7-11, 2-5 MAC) dropped their fourth-straight game Jan. 25, against Bowling Green State University (11-9, 4-5 MAC) inside the Stroh Center. The final score ended up being 85-71, BGSU. 

Following the loss, the Eagles have now dropped to 7-11 overall on the season, and 2-5 in MAC play. BGSU improves to 11-9 overall, and 4-5 in the MAC.

After intermission, BGSU picked back up where they left off, widening the lead to 20 with under three minutes to play. Junior guard Bryce McBride contributed some late baskets to cut the Falcons’ advantage, but it wasn’t enough, as BGSU claimed the win 85-71. 

Despite the loss, the Eagles showcased a strong offensive performance, shooting nearly 50 percent from the field (49.1 percent).
