Final from Rupp Arena. Stats forthcoming.

 

Terry Taylor is the Player of the Game.

Dominating 2nd half performance by the Purples.

Good Job Purples...

Great job on the updates @TheDeuce. Be sure and pig out in the hospitality room for me.

Equals Bowling Green's closest result of the postseason. They haven't had an opponent play them closer than 17 points since their overtime win over Greenwood on February 6th.

GC kept it close for a half, but BG came racing out to take over in the 3rd.

Purples! Purples! Purples!

26 straight wins for Bowling Green.

26 straight wins for Bowling Green.

 

And 58 of 63.

 

My records only go back to their 1964-65 season, but they're one game away from equaling what I would guess is probably their longest winning streak in school history. They started the 1998/1999 season a perfect 27-0 before losing in the region tournament. Win their quarterfinal game, and they'll equal that streak. Win again after that, and they'll enter the state title game with that record out of the way.

It was close at Half, Bowling Green took the game over in the 2nd Half. Taylor had 20/4/4 and Harmon had 17, Jones had 9 Points and 11 Boards. Naranjo lead Graves Co. in scoring with 11, and Vogt fouled out in the 4th finishing with 8 Points & 9 Boards.
